Abstract
Preparation of Hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement construction of pavement layers involves in release of harmful gases which affects the environment conditions. The use of natural aggregates for the preparation of HMA is also affecting the natural resources. WMA is one among the technologies for reduction in mixing and compaction temperature RAP has the advantages for the use in partial replacement with natural aggregates in preparation of modified bituminous mix. In this study, it was investigated on usage of polypropylene fibres of 6mm length in Warm mix asphalt with recycled aggregates. For modification of base binder, Sasobit wax compound was added so as to improve the reduce the overall energy consumption and reduction in toxic emission during construction of pavement. The specimens were prepared under analytical gradation method. The main objective of this paper is incorporate the principle of sustainability in pavement construction by the usage of RAP with the inclusion of fibre at four different percentages with an interval 0.1 to know the performance of RAP modified mixtures. In this study, physical properties as well as ageing properties were performed on virgin, modified and RAP binder, specimens were produced for Marshall, Indirect tensile strength (IDT) to determine the moisture susceptibility and volumetric properties. The modified rap mix of 3% WMA of 15% RAP with 0.2% PP fibre and 0.3% rejuvenator, the above mix combination values obtained results has displayed better performance evaluation for moisture resistance with the inclusion of fibre in modified RAP mixes. This study shall provide direction for achieving environmentally friendly pavement technologies.
