The objective of this work is the study of the
influence of the addition of plastic waste on the behavior of modified asphalt
mixtures. Two mechanical tests were conducted on the modified bituminous
concrete by the waste of plastic. Different contents of waste were used. The
modification was performed by the dry method. The mechanical tests were :
Marshall test and the indirect tensile strength test. This study showed that
adding waste of plastic to asphalt mix improves their mechanical performances,
such as increased stability, compactness, Marshall quotient and indirect
tensile strength ITS and decreased Marshall flow and the deformation in the
indirect tensile strength test. In addition to the interest of the use of
plastic waste in road construction, there is a positive influence on the
environment and human life by reducing storage areas of these plastics
pollutants
