In the process of asphalt pavement maintenance management, the technical condition of the pavement is accurately predicted, its performance trend is predicted, and the right time is chosen to take targeted maintenance measures that will play a multiplier role, so predicting the technical condition of the pavement is important significance. This paper mainly studies the cluster dimensionality reduction evaluation method of the technical condition of expressway asphalt pavement. This paper summarizes the experience of regular highway inspection data inspection and analysis, and mainly studies the standardized analysis method of highway pavement inspection data, aiming to meet the data requirements at all levels through effective data analysis indicators. The experimental data in this paper show that the driving quality of the two-way pavement is good, the total average SRI is 91.2, and the evaluation is “excellent,” and the left width is slightly better than the right width; the transverse crack penetration of most reconstructed road sections is greater than 0.4, indicating that the transverse crack penetrates the road surface more serious. The experimental results of this paper show that the technical status of asphalt pavement based on cluster analysis has practical significance, and the analysis results show that the treatment effect is ideal.

The use of plastic is increasing rapidly every year and this trend is likely to continue because of the extreme versatile nature of the properties of plastic materials which gives it use for wide range of purposes. This paper presents a current scenario of plastic consumption in Nigeria and also attempts to address the problem of plastic waste disposal and its attendant environmental hazards by discussing the various innovative ways of utilizing plastic wastes in order to promote a sustainable environment. The paper highlighted the challenges faced by the different innovative techniques and also the approaches that can be adopted to overcome the challenges for its survival in the circular economy. The literature review touched on works of related studies and discussed many innovative approaches for utilizing plastic waste. The key sources of literature in this review paper included peer-reviewed articles, news post, project briefs and professional reports. It is hoped that the implementation of the noble ideas and innovative technologies discussed in this work will enable proper and effective management of plastic waste in Nigeria.

“…Hence, it can be used as a binder for road construction. Improvement in properties like Marshall Stability, retained stability, indirect tensile strength and rutting was observed in Plastic modified bituminous concrete mixes [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. It was observed that the stiffness increased by 10% for the chemically modified bituminous mixtures.…”

Industrial and domestic plastic waste is second harmful products to the environment. Considering the technological development and the current way of life, this non-biodegradable waste and its enormous quantities threaten the balance of the ecosystem and human health. The present study was an attempt to investigate the effect of Low-density polyethylene “LDPE” plastic waste, used us asphalt additive, on creep-recovery behavior of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). This technique is a contribution to the improvement of the quality and cost of HMA, for alternate materials. In this experimental study, two mixes of asphalts were prepared, basic and modified asphalts, and tested in four points bending test at two different temperatures, medium (20°C) and high temperature (50°C). The use of 5 % of LDPE gave a better thermo-mechanical performance. As well as, a decrease in total deformation by 51 % and 13 % at 20°C and 50°C respectively. A clear improvement of the resistance to the creep permanent deformation, rigidity and lasted in life. This modification serves a powerful, economic and environmental solution for road construction of hot Saharan areas at medium and high temperature of service.
