Abstract

The high traffic density in terms of commercial vehicles, overloading of trucks, aging of bitumen binder
and adverse climate condition such as heavy rainfall, significant variation in delay and seasonal of the pavement have
been responsible for early development of pavement distress resulting in pavement to provide expected service life with
desired performance. Under such condition it is necessary to improve the strength characteristics of bituminous
surface by adopting various alternatives like modifying the grade bitumen, aggregate gradation and mix proportions
or by using various admixtures. So it was felt that a study can be done a utilization of modifier like crumb rubber
which is easily available, cost effective and considered as waste material. The present indicates that the effect of
SBSPMB by varying procedural parameters like modifier concentration, blending temperature and blending time for
preparing the SBSPMB.
