Abstract

Promoting recycling cost reduction in road building, and environmental mitigation. The investigation explores substituting bitumen with varying ratios of crumb rubber and HDPE, supplemented with coir for robust tensile properties, aiming at improving Stability & Semi-Dense Bituminous Concrete. Additionally, the study delves into the need for alternative aggregates in road construction due to the depletion of natural resources, proposing the use of china clay waste as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in semi-dense bituminous concrete. The research evaluates the cost-effectiveness of modified asphalt using LDPE, HDPE & CR, concluding CR modified HMA as the most economical. The study also explores the feasibility of using waste PET for green asphalt and evaluates the performance of modifiers in highway construction, emphasizing sustainable practices and solid waste disposal.
