Abstract:Recently, the use of plastic in many products has led to a huge amount of plastic waste, which is typically difficult to treat and expensive to recycle. This problem has been considered by many researchers and environmental organizations as requiring serious considerations about recycling and reusing plastic waste in different fields, such as asphalt mixtures. In this paper, aggregate passing a 4.75-mm sieve was replaced by 5, 7, 9, and 11% of plastic bottles used for drinking purposes. The dry method was adop… Show more
“…Similarly, as the pressing duration increased from 2 to 8 min, the water absorption decreased from 0.415 % to 0.275 %. The observed pattern of increasing and decreasing findings in this study, consistent with previous research reports referenced as [ 40 , 41 , 46 ], suggests a similar trend or phenomenon observed in those studies. The pressing duration, which refers to the duration of the highest-pressure application to minimize relaxation during paver tile production, influences water absorption, as evidenced by the decrease in water absorption with increasing pressing duration [ 28 , 31 ].…”
