Mixed Rubbles, Pulverized Waste Glass, and Plastic Bottles as Partial Replacements for Aggregates and Binders in a Modified Asphalt Mixture

Abstract

This literature review provides an overview of studies on the use mixed rubbles, pulverized waste glass and plastic bottles as partial replacements for aggregates and binders in a modifies asphalt mixture. Due to the large demand for raw materials in constructing asphalt pavement, many studies about providing different alternative materials for asphalt pavement mixtures have existed. This is to provide a solution for the increasing usage of non-renewable materials in constructing an asphalt pavement. This study determined the strength and compatibility of mixed rubbles, waste glass, and plastic bottles as a partial replacement for aggregates and binders in a modified asphalt mixture. Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Bituminous Mixtures (ASTM D1074 – 02) results conducted on the zero day up to the 8th day, shows that it is evident that the specimens’ compressive strength values correspond with the quantity of aggregates utilized in the mixture. Standard Test Method for Marshall Stability and Flow of Asphalt Mixtures (ASTM D6927 – 15) results conducted on the zero-day and eight-day, it is evident that the specimens’ marshall stability and flow values correspond with the quantity of aggregates utilized in the mixture.
