A huge amount of new roads are overlaid on existing road pavement from which a layer of existing bitumen pavement is removed for road development reasons. Use of such waste as Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement to replace natural aggregates partially could be helpful both for environmental and economic aspects in the construction industry. Also disposal of waste materials including waste plastic bags has become a serious problem and waste plastics are burnt for apparent disposal which cause environmental pollution. Use of waste plastic in bituminous mixes has proved that these enhance the properties of mix in addition to solving disposal problems. Bituminous materials are extremely used for road construction because of their perfect binding properties and as well as water repellent properties. The purpose of this study is to find the effects of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and Plastic content on various characteristics of Bituminous wearing course. The bearing capacity of the wearing course depends on the Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) content mixed with the conventional aggregate.
