They added the polyethylene as additive to hot mineral IV. TEST RESULT
aggregate for few minutes, after it asphalt mix was added Result of Penetration value
which reduced the cost of construction and simplify the Sample [A] Sample [B]
construction process. From their work, it was concluded Trial 1 2 3 1 2 3
that there was improvement on low temperature cracking Initial [0.1mm] 0 0 0 0 0 0
resistance and water resistance after modification and Final [0.1mm] 91 93 95 95 94 93
high temperature stability. It evaluated polyethylene as Penetration value 91 93 95 95 94 93
additive in the aspect of technical view, economic and Average 93 94
environment aspect. Penetration value = 93.5
So grade of the bitumen =80/100
III. Material for Mix
The bituminous concrete mix is generally composed of Ductility Test Result
aggregate and bitumen. On the basis of particle size of Sample Ductility (cm)
aggregate, the aggregate are divided into coarse aggregate 1 107
and fine aggregate and filler fraction. Required amount of

bitumen is add in the mix to make it impervious and will

have acceptable elastic properties. The aim of bitumen mix
Average 107
design is to determine the proportion of bitumen, coarse
Ductility of the bitumen =107 cm
aggregate, fine aggregate and filler to produce a stable mix
which is strong, durable, workable and economical.
