Abstract
This paper is concerned with the possibility of using plastic bottle waste as an ingredient to the Asphaltic Concrete Wearing Course (AC-WC). This research is explores the effect of adding plastic and cement as ingredient to the mixture of asphalt concrete on the characteristics of Marshall. Plastics that are added are 2:4 and are 6% in weight. It was observed that the optimum bitumen content on the addition of 4% plastic and Marshall stability increases by 19% compared to the AC-WC without addition of plastic. The positive effect of plastic bottle on the characteristics of Marshall, along with its enviromental advantages, make this material a feasible additive.
