Feasibility study of low density waste plastic in non load bearing asphalt pavement in district faisalabad

Abstract

The rapid growth of population and development of industrial field is contributing to massive waste pollution in which plastic waste is considered as most difficult waste to deal with due to its non-biodegradable nature. This lead to various impact on environment as well as all living things. Many of the waste produced due to human activity will remain in the environment for long period of time leading to various environmental problem. To overcome this problem a study is conducted in which plastic waste is effectively utilized with bitumen a binding material in construction of flexible pavements to enhance its stability and water resistant capacity. Cleaned plastic waste is shredded to a size of 2.76mm-4mm is mixed with hot bitumen mix and then this waste plastic added bitumen is mixed with hot aggregate and the end product is used as laying material for road construction. The objective of this study is to give an innovative idea for effective use of plastic waste and recommend a favorable percentage of plastic for replacement of bitumen. This paper also includes some tests performed on aggregate and bitumen.

Architectural Features and Conception of Overall Construction Mode of Yi Settlements

“…The religious beliefs of Yi affect the site selection, construction and indoor goods placement of villages and houses. Wind hiding and spirit gathering makes the villages located as "concave", which means that they are sheltered by Green Arowana and White Tiger (Baoshi 2004, Gang 1998, Ali et al 2017. Meanwhile, the vegetation and trees in these places are lush, and the selection and construction of villages here can hide wind and gather spirit.…”

Estimating the Change of Vegetation Coverage of the Upstream of Minjiang River by Using Remote-Sensing Images

“…Vegetation coverage is the important indicator of the regional ecological system and environment change. The study of vegetation coverage is of great significance to hydrology, ecology, and global change (Zhang 2013, Ali et al 2017. In various traditional ground survey ways of the vegetation coverage, the simplest way is the ocular estimation method (Li 2003, Khan et al 2017.…”
