EAGER: Porous Plastic-Based Cementitious Materials for Pervious Pavements

项目名称：EAGER：透水路面多孔塑料基胶凝材料项目负责人：Naji Khoury机构：天普大学项目编号：1101197这个EAGER项目将测试塑料废物与土壤和集料混合可以用来生产耐用和抗堵塞的多孔材料（多孔塑料基胶凝材料，P-PBC），这种材料可以用于透水路面。塑料垃圾处理已经成为公众和科学界关注的一个主要问题。P-PBC的制造利用了大量的塑料瓶，这些塑料瓶目前被送到垃圾填埋场，乱扔和/或焚烧。本课题的研究目标有三个：(1)对P-PBC材料的耐久性和堵塞特性进行评价。(2) P-PBC材料的微观结构研究；(3)P-PBC材料的生命周期评估和成本分析。这项工作的发现将推动路面工程中多孔材料的知识状态。这项研究也将为进一步研究将塑料废物回收利用成有用的建筑材料打开大门。这项研究将资助一名来自天普大学的研究生。它还将为坦普尔大学的两名学生提供暑期实习机会。卡佛工程与科学高中（Carver high school of Engineering and Science，简称CHSES）在PI？s实验室。CHSES的学生中81%是非裔美国人，8%亚裔和5%白种人。该项目的主要风险来自于P-PBC尚未经过使用寿命和抗堵塞性测试，这是将其用作道路、人行道甚至停车场路面板的必要步骤。这项工作将提供有关P-PBC的耐久性和堵塞特性的必要初步数据，以提交完整的研究建议。布鲁斯·汉密尔顿项目主任环境可持续性10/16/10

Proposal Title: EAGER: Porous Plastic-based Cementitious Materials for Pervious PavementsPrincipal Investigator: Naji Khoury Institution: Temple University Proposal No: 1101197This EAGER project will test the hypothesis that plastic waste mixed with soil and aggregates can be used to produce durable and clog-resistant porous materials (porous plastic-based cementitious material, P-PBC) which can be used for pervious pavements. Plastic waste disposal has become a major concern for both the public and scientific communities alike. The manufacture of P-PBC utilizes a large quantity of plastic bottles that are currently sent to landfills, littered and/or incinerated. There are three research goals in this project: (1) Evaluation of durability and clogging characteristics of P-PBC materials. (2) Micro-structural investigation of P-PBC materials and (3) Life cycle assessment and cost analysis of P-PBC materials. The findings from this work will advance the state-of-knowledge of porous materials in pavement engineering. This study will also open the door for further research on the recycling of plastic waste into useful construction materials. The study will support one graduate student from Temple University. It will also provide summer internships to two students from Temple?s neighboring high school (Carver High School of Engineering and Science, i.e., CHSES) to conduct research in the PI?s laboratory. The student body at CHSES is 81% African-American, 8% Asian and 5% Caucasian. The primary risk in this project comes from the fact that P-PBC has not been tested for its longevity and resistance to clogging, a necessary step before it can be used as pavement slabs on roads, sidewalks or even parking lots. This work will provide necessary preliminary data on durability and clogging characteristics of P-PBC needed to submit full research proposals.
