Abstract
Research into new and innovative uses of waste material is continually advancing. Many highway agencies, private organizationss, and individuals are in the process of a wide variety of studies and research projects concerning the feasibility, environmental suitability, and performance of using recycled products in highway construction. The amount of wastes has increased year by year and the disposal becomes a serious problem. Particularly, the recycling ratio of the plastic wastes in life and industry is very low and many of them have been reclaimed for the reason of unsuitable ones for incineration. It is necessary to utilize the wastes effectively with technical development in each field. Expansive soils are so widely spread that it becomes impossible to avoid them for highway construction to keep the network structure for mobility and accessibility. However, the roads constructed on expansive soils suffer extensive damage and distress resulting in large economic loses running to billions of dollars. As thermal power plants are spatially distributed all over the country, the utilization of fly ash from these plants for the road construction, not only helps to consume bulk quantities of fly ash solving its disposal problem to a certain extent but also to satisfy the construction requirements. Reinforcement of soils with synthetic fibers is potentially an effective Technique for increasing soil strength. In recent years, this technique has been suggested for a variety of geotechnical applications ranging from retaining structure and earth embankments to subgrade stabilization beneath footings and pavements. Research on different types of reinforcement and materials has been conducted by several investigators. However, the amount of information available on randomly oriented fiber reinforcement is still limited. Here an attempt is made to the suitability of different types of waste plastics strips and waste tyre rubber chips reinforcing with gravel and flash in flexible pavement system on expansive soil subgrade. Commonly Gravel is considered to be suitable for road construction (MOST- 1998).
