Title:          Performance evaluation of waste PVC modified bitumen
Authors:     Usman Ghani, Waqas Arshad Tanoli
Abstract:    Bitumen is currently one of the most widely used binding materials in road pavement. The reasons due to which bitumen is mostly used as a binding material are its excellent binding characteristics, waterproofing properties and low cost as compared to other binders. However, it is widely known to have various types of distresses and does not perform well in aggressive situations. To counter these shortcomings, bitumen is ordinarily assorted with various forms of modifiers such as polymers, crumb rubber etc. These modifiers are costly and not easily available, so research is focused on waste polymers instead. The waste polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is used as a modifier. Waste PVC that has been used previously as a part of sewerage system, bottles, and credit cards is a nonbiodegradable material and has undesirable impact on the environment. This study presents results of the waste PVC pipes which have been used as a modifier by an amount of 4% and 6% by weight of bitumen in making bituminous mixture for pavement applications. The different properties of PVC modified bitumen such as softening point, penetration value, and stripping value were studied and compared with those of unmodified bitumen. The performance characteristic of the bituminous mix made up of these modified binder were also studied and compared with conventional bituminous mix. The results indicate that waste PVC pipe can be used efficiently in road construction. Flow and stability of the mix increase after incorporating PVC waste pipe. On the basis of experimental work it is concluded that the asphalt mixtures with waste PVC modifier can be used for flexible pavement construction in a warmer region from the standpoint of stability and flow characteristics.
