Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the possibility of using thermocol waste
as polymer additives in Bituminous Mix. The characteristics of thermocol modified binder obtained by fix mixing temperature, was investigated. The binders were prepared by mixing the PET in 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% (by the weight of optimum bitumen) with 80/100 penetration grade bitumen at temperature of 150ºC. It may be inferred that PET-modified bituminous binders provide better resistance against permanent deformations and rutting due to their higher softening point when compared to conventional binders. Using PET-modified binders also contribute to the recirculation of plastic waste, as well as to the protection of the environment.
