EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF BITUMEN WITH PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF POLYMER

Main Article Content

Rangaraj A, et. al.

Abstract

Bitumen is a Petroleum by-product and also non-hazardous at room temperature Known for its viscoelastic, rheological and, Nonmagnetic material which highly consists Of hydro-carbon with low dielectric constant and also a component of asphalt binders that Combines gravel, sand and mineral powder thus  the usage of any alternative binder can lead to Cause reduction in carbon-di-oxide emission and one such thing is by using polymer as a partial Replacement on bitumen for effective usage on roads because of the incapable recycling of the Polymer which can be effectively used as a replacement material. The most
commonly used tests in this experiment are ductility test, penetration test, softening point test, viscosity test, crushing test, abrasion test, impact test, specific gravity test, Marshall’s stability test, water absorption test and los angles test
