description | Asphalt crumb rubber is a type of pavement material formed by mixing asphalt cement with crumb rubber that is derived from recycled tires. This eco-friendly approach aids in waste reduction and promotes environmental preservation by incorporating recycled materials into pavement construction. The study aimed to examine the behavior of asphalt mixtures modified with crumb rubber, made by blending recycled tire-derived crumb rubber with asphalt cement. Adding crumb rubber improved the performance of asphalt mixtures, with 8% crumb rubber enhancing the Marshall stability by 20% and 34% for 40/50 and 50/60 grades, respectively. The moisture susceptibility of both grades also improved. Crumb rubber is a sustainable material that can improve the performance of asphalt mixtures. |
