Modified Bitumen Studies

Waste tyres have recently proved to be an ecological and financial burden in many regions of the world. Old abandoned tyres from cars, trucks, farm and construction equipment and off-road vehicles are stockpiled throughout the country. Waste tyres have been a disposal problem in the past and are continuing to accumulate throughout the India and globe today. Now days we are using a material for road pavement generally are bitumen, concrete, earth etc. But these materials are not sufficient to fulfil our demands. So we introduce a new technique for road construction. In this process we collect the waste tyres of various vehicles and waste high density polyethylene. Waste tyres are crushed and various materials from it like steel wire, gas, oil and carbon black are separated to produce crumb rubber (fine particles). Then the mixture of crumb rubber and asphalt is applied on road surface with HDPE coated high density polyethylene.
