An experimental investigation on partial replacement of bitumen using rubber tyre

Publication date: Available online 18 July 2019Source: Materials Today: ProceedingsAuthor(s): A. Rangaraj, P. MukeshAbstractBitumen is most widely used in the world for road construction. In India, bitumen demand was expected to reach 122 million tonnes by the analysis made in 2018, so we want some alternatives for future use. This research is based on partial replacement of bitumen by using waste rubber tyre chips as a percentage of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% respectively. The properties of partially replaced bitumen can be analyzed from the tests such as penetration test, softening point test, viscosity test and ductility test, we conclude that, better properties in 15% has efficient result while comparing to other proportion used.
