Research Project:
Developing Sustainable Waste Plastics Asphalt Roadway Construction
University: Washington State University
Principal Investigator(s): Haifang Wen
Project Description:
The results will lead to effective utilization of waste plastics in hot/warm mix asphalt. A design method would facilitate the use of waste plastics and safeguard the performance of roadway.
Outputs:
The output of this study includes a systematic evaluation of engineering performance and life cycle analysis of the use of waste plastics in asphalt paving.
Waste Plastics in Ecosystem
Outcomes/Impacts:
An effective mix design procedure will be developed to guide the practitioners to use waste plastics for construction. The regional analysis will provide guidance to the regulator to develop policy on the use of waste plastics.
