Field Performance Study of Plastics-Amended Asphalt for Roadway Construction

In the previous study, the research team collaborated with the City of Battle Ground in Washington and constructed a test road incorporating plastics amendments in 2024, using the dry method. The objectives of this study are to: (1) Evaluate the field performance of plastic-amended asphalt and compare it to conventional asphalt sections. (2) Assess the impact of plastics in asphalt on skid resistance of vehicles.
