Abstract |
The purpose of this study is mainly to find out the optimum temperature by which the bituminous concrete mix temperature is reduced through the warm mix asphalt technology. Warm mixing with additive is becoming popular because of mixing at lower temperature which reduces the fuel usage and emission of hazardous gases consequently decreases the mixing as well as compaction temperature of mix. Reduction of 20 ° C to 40 ° C have documented, such reduction have the obvious benefits of cutting fuel consumption and decreasing the production of greenhouse gases. Also, there will improvement on performance of pavement. In present study, warm mix design of Bituminous Concrete, Rediset-organic additive is used as adhesion with used as a binder viscosity grade-30(VG-30). The Optimum Bitumen Content (OBC) using a binder will obtained by the Marshall Test. Then after Optimum dosage of Rediset and Temperature are found i.e., the temperature at which Rediset perform effectively. Also, comparative study makes to know the stability of Rediset with Binder. The Warm mix with VG-30 satisfied all the Marshall Stability test of bituminous mixes and well suited for construction of road with heavily traffic. Also, Laboratory testing is carried out to find the physical properties of bitumen test for VG-30 with and without Rediset. |
