Abstract

Today disposal of different wastes produced from different Industries is a great problem. These materials pose environmental pollution in the nearby locality because many of them are non-biodegradable, Crumb rubber is one of them. Soil, stone aggregate, sand, bitumen, cement etc. are used for road construction. Natural material is limited in nature, its quantity is decreasing and cost is increasing. Concerned about this, engineers are looking for alternative materials for highway construction, by which the quality of road is increase with low cost. Keeping in mind the need for bulk use of these solid wastes in India, it was thought expedient to test these materials and to develop specifications to enhance the use of waste tyres in road making in which higher economic returns may be possible. The waste tyres can be used in the form of aggregate which on mixing with various bitumen in suitable size.
