Papers: - A technique to dispose waste plastics in an ecofriendly way – Application in construction of flexible pavements- R. Vasudevan a,1, A. Ramalinga Chandra Sekar a,⇑, B. Sundarakannan a, R. Velkennedy b- Elsevier Construction and Building Materials 28 (2012) 311–320
- Utilization of waste plastics for flexible pavement and easy disposal of waste plastics; R. Vasudevan, , A. Ramalinga Chandra Sekar and B. Sundarakannan- IJPRT. January 2010; vol-3/Num-1
PhD: - From this LAB one student had obtained his PhD under the title “Investigation of Polymer Modified Flexible Pavement and Its Characterization” and
- other student is doing his PhD on “Waste Polymer Modified Bitumen”
Patents Obtained: - The major mile stone of this program is that the program yielded the first patent to our college “A new mix process of waste plastics-aggregate-bitumen for flexible pavement 198254 A-CH/871”
