ABSTRACT
Bituminous mixes are most commonly used all over the world in
flexible pavement construction. It consists of asphalt or bitumen
(used as a binder) and mineral aggregate which are mixed together,
laid down in layers and then compacted. Under normal
circumstances, conventional bituminous pavements if designed and
executed properly perform quite satisfactorily but the performance of
bituminous mixes is very poor under various situations. Today’s
asphaltic concrete pavements are expected to perform better as they
are experiencing increased volume of traffic, increased loads and
increased variations in daily or seasonal temperature over what has
been experienced in the past. In addition, the performance of
bituminous pavements is found to be very poor in moisture induced
situations. Considering this a lot of work has been done on use of
additives in bituminous mixtures and as well as on modification of
bitumen. Research has indicated that the addition of polymers to
asphalt binders helps to increase the interfacial cohesiveness of the
bond between the aggregate and the binder which can enhance many
properties of the asphalt pavements to help meet these increased
demands. However, the additive that is to be used for modification of
mix or binder should satisfy both the strength requirements as well as
economical aspects.
