Abstract

Crumb rubber is recycled rubber from automotive and truck scraps tires. During the recycling process steel and fluff is removed leaving tire rubber with a granular consistency. The Tyres which are obtained from Vehicles and other rubber materials which are available in the places. Now days there are lot of automobiles throughout the world as well as in India also. The waste produced by these is so much it is very difficult to dispose of; hence this is an alternate method in which we can solve the problem. Here the main object of this paper is to bring light on the fact that the waste can be used very effectively for the purpose of road material instead of bitumen as an alternative and also can be used as mixture with certain percentage along with bitumen. In any country transportation by road is a important mode of transport system for the development of country, hence the length of roads are becoming more and more day by day hence it is very much essential to make an alternative for bitumen and also to reduce the amount of usage of bitumen is very much essential, in this direction the study is important. They study involves the characteristics of the crumb rubber when used along with bitumen. The different tests are conducted.
