Application of Waste Tyre Rubber Crumbs in Strengthening of Bituminous Roads
In the World, India is considered as the second rapid mounting automobile industry and production of waste tyres is just a consequence of this. Tyres become scrap due to continuous frictional force between pavement surface and vehicle tyres. This continuous production and disposal of waste tyres creates several nuisances such as intensifying landfill areas, environmental contamination, and resulting health vulnerability. Hence, solid waste management may be a great option for those scrap tyres that can be used as a modifier in Crumbed Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB). Crumbed tyre rubber can be used as partial replacement to the total weight of Bitumen in road construction. Waste crumbed rubber has same properties as bitumen that possesses an improved skid resistance, fatigue cracking interruption, and augmented rut resistance. In this paper, it is seen that CRMB confirms greater softening point, lesser penetration value, and lower ductile value. Also strength properties of CRMB are evaluated by means of Marshall Stability test. The objective of this study was to use waste crumb rubber with neat bitumen that would diminish the costs of construction and as well as possessing improved physical properties in comparison of convention bitumen. At the end of experimental studies, it is observed that 12% addition of crumb rubber has the most suitability for blending with bitumen.
