| Abstract | The waste generation from old rubber tires has been increasing and causing environmentaldegradation with the escalation of vehicles number especially in the cities. Bitumen isextensively used in flexible pavement construction and as its manufacturing industries werestill growing, the cost has not been much affordable. This study aimed at evaluating thepossibility of a partial replacement of ordinary bitumen by tire rubber waste, with thepurpose to reduce not only the amount of rubber wastes dispersed in the nature, but alsothe material cost, while keeping or improving the bitumen product performance. The studyused rubber waste powder as partial replacement to ordinary bitumen by 5%, 10%, 15%,and 20% of its weight and, with adequate samples, properties of the bitumen product wereinvestigated, after checking the standard quality of used bitumen 60/70 grade. It wasestablished that more adequate results were achieved at 5% of replacement, which showedthe penetration value of 61.66 tenths mm, the softening point value of 52.750C, and theviscosity of 134 sec. Regarding the cost estimation of this new bitumen, a cost reductionof around 5.3% was realized. Therefore, the use of rubber waste powder would contributenot only to the reduction of the quantity of respective waste in the environment, but alsoinfluence on the material affordability. The use of other grades of bitumen than 60/70, aswell as the strength and durability performance may be a good scope for further studies. |
