Evaluation on the Performance of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Using Polymer Modifications

Abstract

Increasing the number of vehicles on the road quickly in which generates a large amount of waste tyres; it is a major concern of asphalt pavement distresses which causes permanent deformation this is results of the rapid development of economic and industrial nowadays. In order to solve this problem waste of tyres has been tried to use as utilization of bitumen modification to improve the performance of the asphalt pavement as well as for providing an environmentally friendly which is a green technology. The main aim of this literature is to evaluate the effect of polymer Modifier from previous researchers’ point of view on the performance of asphalt pavement in order to demonstrate the performance of Hot Mix Asphalt in terms of improving the significant flexible pavement deteriorations such as permanent deformation (rutting), fatigue cracking, and low temperature cracking (thermal cracking).
