Abstract
Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) is a composite material used in the construction of roadways as paring material. This composite is a mixture of a petroleum by-product, asphaltic bitumen, and aggregate materials. In HMA, the asphaltic bitumen acts as a binder material, some sort of glue that binds the aggregate particlestogether. The percentage of binder material in asphalt mixtures is determined in the lab to achieve high stability, durability, flexibility and skid resistance of HMA under subjected traffic loads and environmental conditionsusing a Mix design method such as Marshall or Hveem mix design method. Traffic loads especially heavy trucks affect on performance of asphalt pavements causing damages such as: permanent deformation or rutting especially inhot climate. This necessitates to improve physical and mechanical properties of binder material. There are manytypesof asphalt modifiers such as thermoplastic elastomers, thermoplastic polymer, thermosetting polymer, fiber, natural asphalts and fillers. Using carpet disposal in HMA could be one of the solutions to make roads economic and environmental.The increasing use of recycled materials such as carpet disposal waste in asphalt pavements is one of the measures to enhance the sustainability of the environment
This thesis reviews performance of asphalt pavements containing recycled materials asphalt as modifier. The main objectives are to determine the feasibility of using Carpet Disposal on HMA and its impact in HMA stability. To achieve these objectives, Marshall Mix Design was conducted on a sample as a controlmixture, i.e. without carpet, andon samples with different percentages and carpet disposal waste.The results showed that HMA with carpet disposal improved stability and indirect tensile strength resistance. The results of flow recorded higher values in comparison with control mixture.
