Development of light-weight polymer composite containing solid waste fillers and its application as sub-base layer of flexible pavement.

Abstract

This research programme is an in-depth study regarding the sub-base layer of pavements made by a polymer composite using crumb recycled tyres, recycled plastic and fly ash as fillers with jute-fabric as a reinforcement. Emphasis is placed mostly on the mix proportions, mechanical properties and durability of the purposed composite as precast lightweight product.
