my question. Thank you
Based on my topic which is Evaluation of asphalt mixtures incorporating waste plastic againts to moisture susceptibility in your opinion what is the equipment should be used. What is the procedure of this experiment and for the data result what should be include ( list out the table). Following are the instruction of this experiment: The objectives of this research are as follows: i. To investigate the tensile strength of asphalt mixtures containing waste plastic material. ii. To investigate the effectiveness of waste plastic material to against moisture sensitivity on asphalt mixtures. SCOPE OF RESEARCH This chapter discusses on the need of improve the tensile strength of asphalt mixture containing waste plastic material at different percentage. The sample will be evaluate using indirect tensile test for dry and wet condition, and the ratio wet over dry specimen will be nominated as resistant to moisture damage value. The 60/70 penetration grade bitumen and granite aggregate will be used as asphalt mixture containing waste plastic, which the waste plastic size will be prepared and further discuss. Two types of aggregate proportion will be prepared based on ACW 14 according to standard works specification (JKR, 2008). The test will be conducted at Highway Engineering laboratory, UTHM.
Synopsis This research is carried out to analyze the tensile strength of asphalt, by adding different waste plastic materials along with it. The investigation is carried out by adding varying percent of mixtures of plastic. At each and every experimental investigation the tensile strength is evaluated and improvement is made at every varying percent of mixture. The indirect tensile strength is conducted in dry and wet conditions, from that the moisture damage can be estimated. By looking ratio of wet tensile strength over dry tensile strength the value of moisture damage is determined. The asphalt for experimental purpose is made of bitumen , granite aggregate and some volume of plastic materials. At different proportions aggregates were added , here in this research two different proportions of aggregates were used. The proportions is based on ACW 14 based on standard
work specifications. From these type of evaluation and mixture effectiveness of using plastic waste materials is analyzed along with it moisture sensitivity is also founded. For research purposes the experiment is carried out in Highway Engineering Laboratory UTHM. The optimum amount of mixture required and maximum indirect tensile strength obtained due to wet and dry conditions is evaluated and result is compared with all different percentage. The sensitivity of moisture value for every proportion and maximum values obtained and there usage in real life are all analysed. Thus this is came to concluded. We will prepared 4 types of sample and 2 type with different size of aggregate and another 2 sample with mixture waste plastic bottle cullet. Laboratory specimens were prepared using fifty blows of the marshall hammer per side. Seventy-five compaction blows were not used since they would not result in a significant increase in density over that provided by 50 blows.
