ENS4152 Project: Linear Stress Analysis and Plastic Road Construction

This project, conducted by HO VIET QUOC, investigates the viability of recycling plastic waste for road construction. The research explores the properties of plastics, their environmental impact, and the potential of incorporating them into bitumen mixtures. The study includes a literature review on plastics, road construction materials, and bituminous road defects. The methodology covers material testing and different processes like wet and dry methods for incorporating plastic waste. The results and discussion focus on the advantages and disadvantages of plastic roads, characterization of waste plastics, and polymer modified asphalt. The project aims to address the increasing problem of plastic waste by providing a sustainable solution for road construction, potentially improving road performance and reducing environmental pollution. The project also covers risk assessment and provides a timeline for the research. The conclusion summarizes the findings and highlights the potential of plastic waste recycling in civil engineering.
