Abstract
The construction of highways requires a large amount of building materials. Organo-mineral mixtures, which include asphalt concrete, are the main building material for the construction of the upper layers of the road structure. In order to reduce the cost of asphalt concrete, part of the natural mineral raw materials may be replaced by industrial waste. Previous studies show that waste from various industries in terms of their physical and mechanical properties are not inferior to natural raw materials used in road construction. When using the material resource of waste, environmental issues are additionally resolved by reducing the volume of waste disposal at landfills. The studies carried out have shown that the composition of the asphalt concrete mixture, in which drill cuttings are used, as a mineral powder, meet the requirements for asphalt concrete. Studies have shown that waste plastics HDPE and LDPE can be considered as reinforcing and modifying elements in the structure of asphalt concrete. Asphalt concrete, which includes plastic waste, meets the requirements for asphalt concrete used for road construction.
