UTILIZATION OF WASTE PLASTIC BAGS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Computer Engineering electronics Engineering Civil Engineering

Disposal of waste plastic bags from the domestic has become a become a major problem to the agencies in the cities. The waste plastic bags available in the dogmatic waste plastic mainly consist of lowdensity polyethylene .plastic bags dumped in the dustbins find their way into the drainage system and clog them. Often, these are burnt along the roadside ,which produces fumes causing air pollution. This seminar emphasizes on the laboratory evaluation on the bituminous mixes for utilization of plastic bags in the road construction.the laboratory performance studies were conducted on bituminous concrete mixes a dence mix used as a surface course in road construction.the laboratory studies proved that waste plastic enhances the property of the mix in addition to providing for the way for it

NEW TECHNIQUES OF EROSION CONTROL ON HILL ROADS

Transportation contributes to all round development of a country and hence plays a vital rate towards its progress. India, being predominantly rural in nature, road links is found to have distinct advantages over other modes of transportation. The impact of highway location on the environment is a major concern of the highway engineer and the public. If the highways are not properly located and designed it will subject to erosion and may contribute sediments to streams. The control of soil and water is basic to the protection of the road structure and therefore highway design, construction and maintenance procedure must be continually evaluated to minimize erosion and sedimentation problems.

MODERN CONCEPTS OF RURAL ROAD DEVELOPMENT

A large proportion of the population of India lives is villages. Rural connectivity has tremendous impact on agriculture, employment, socio

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR ROADSIDE SAFETY

There has been tremendous growth is roadway travel in India in the last two decades. The developments of roadways have not kept pace with the increase in demand of travel. This has resulted in traffic congestion, delay, discomfort and increase in accidents. Proper planning, design construction and maintenance of roadways can reduce this accident. Even if every reasonable efforts taken by highway engineers to design the highway facilities so that the vehicles stay on the road, motorists may continue to runoff the road. This could be because of various reasons
