Abstract

In the present scenario, the cost of Flexible pavement in construction is high and its Life Span is less. Strengthen the pavement by partial replacement of Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in Hot Mix Asphalt and also Polymer modification of Bitumen binders has been increasingly become the industrial vogue in designing the optimally performing pavements, particularly in the recent past to enhance the engineering properties of the bituminous mixes in order to suit the Global Standards of Construction. In this paper, different laboratory tests are conducted by replacing bitumen with both polymers target is polypropylene and polyethylene, and RAP material. Aggregate tests are also followed to know the strength of the aggregates. The results are compared with virgin materials and the required optimum percentages are known.
