Road Pavements Made of Composite Materials

An overview of the types of road pavements made of composite materials that have appeared recently is presented. Their production is based on raw materials obtained from the processing of used plastic products (plastic bottles, glasses, packaging, etc.). Examples of improving the properties of asphalt concrete mixtures with modifiers, the main components of which are recycled plastic are given. The experience of foreign countries in the construction and operation of roads with a pavement of plastic-modified asphalt concrete is shown. An analysis of the use of modified asphalt concrete in the Russian Federation and the reasons that limit the use of new technologies in the construction of roads in our country is given. The possibility of building roads, streets, foot walks and bike paths from ready-made hollow plastic plates that make it possible not only to organize the movement of cars and pedestrians, but also to lay communications under foot walks and roads, organize drainage, install sensors , and so on without additional costs, is considered. Information about mobile plastic coatings produced by Russian manufacturers is also provided. Conclusions are formulated about the need to organize the collection of plastic waste and create enterprises for their processing into raw materials suitable for use in the construction industry, as well as the need to conduct research to assess the use of non-traditional types of pavements in road construction.
