Utilization of Waste Materials as a Partial Replacement of Bitumen

Abstract

In today’s world conservation of environment from the different waste generated and the excessive use of the non-renewable resources has led to the way to find the new material either a waste or a renewable resource, which also don’t harm the environment and which can also be utilize to partially replace the bitumen used in the road construction work. Therefore, use of waste engine oil obtained from vehicle and pine resin generated by trees could answer that demand. They can be used in order to meet the demand of the bitumen required in road paving without compromising there properties which is essential for construction or paving work. The pine resins can be used as an admixture .Bitumen mixtures were tested by means of different tests like softening point, penetration value, specific gravity and ductility. It was concluded that the waste motor oil when added it increases the value of penetration and improves ductility.
