Resumen

The objective of this article was to determine the percentage variation of the physical-mechanical and economic properties of the production of paving stones, co ncrete and hot asphalt mixtures, with the incorporation of recycled PET for the wearing course of the pavements, through a systematic review of various selected investigations. The documentary review of various investigations between theses and research articles referring to the subject of study was carried out; through summary sheets and technical data collection sheets, and analyzed through tables and graphs with Microsoft Excel 2016 software. Theresults of the comparison of the physical-mechanical properties show that there are percentages of positive and negative variations and also of the economic aspect, but in small percentages. It was concluded that the incorporation of recycled PET in the wearing course of the pavements is recommended, because the percentages of variation of the physical-mechanical properties, and at the same time economic, are favorable, determining in turn the optimal percentages of incorporation of recycled PET.
