By (Reg - No:P6814260032) : Field Performance Evaluation of Bituminous Mixes With Modified Binders

This document discusses the need for advanced materials in highway construction in India. It notes that India has huge resources of local materials, but that they are not always used properly, resulting in high construction costs and roads that deteriorate quickly. The document identifies several needs that advanced materials could address, such as reducing costs to build more roadway within budget constraints, conserving resources to create sustainable solutions, reducing environmental impact, and extending service life of roads. It categorizes types of advanced materials and gives examples like cementitious materials, asphalt binders, aggregates, and waste and recycled materials optimized for use. In conclusion, it restates that advanced materials could help reduce costs, conserve resources, lower environmental footprint, and improve service life

FIELD PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF

BITUMINOUS MIXES WITH MODIFIED


BINDERS

Introduction
The benefits from the investment in road sector
are indirect, long-term and not immediately
visible. Roads are important assets for any nation.
However, merely creating these assets is not
enough, it has to be planned carefully and a
pavement which is not designed properly
deteriorates fast.
India is a large country having huge resource of
materials. If these local materials are used
properly, the cost of construction can be reduced.
There are various type of pavements
which differ in their suitability in different
environments. Each type of pavement
has its own merits and demerits.
Despite a large number of seminars and
conference, still in India, 98% roads are
having flexible pavements.
A lot of research has been made on use
of Waste materials but the role of these
materials is still limited. So there is need
to take a holistic approach and mark the
areas where these are most suitable.

NEEDS FOR ADVANCED HIGH-
PERFORMANCE MATERIALS
Reduced costs get more lane-miles
constructed or rehabilitated for a given
constrained budget.
Conservation of resources supports
national efforts to create sustainable
solutions to minimize impact of
construction on the environment.
Reduced ecological footprint.
Extended service life.
Optimized use of locally available
materials.
Achieving environmental benefits
Reduced carbon footprint,
Reduced congestion-related emissions.
Reduced work zone
Related traffic delays and safety concerns
use materials that reduce the potential for
early failures.
Advanced construction materials can be categorized as follows:
1. New/Innovative materials to replace current materials.
2. New/Innovative materials that are less expensive.
3. New/Innovative materials that result in longer service life.
4. New/Innovative materials that result in sustainable solutions.
5. New/Innovative materials that improve the properties of
marginal materials.
6. Waste and recycled materials that are optimized for use.
The advanced materials identified
include the following
Cementitious Materials
Concrete Materials
Asphalt Binder Materials
AC Materials
Metallic and Polymer Materials
Aggregate Materials
Other Materials
CONCLUSION
The needs for seeking advanced highway construction materials
include:
Reduced costs get more lane-miles constructed or rehabilitated for a
given constrained budget;
Conservation of resources supports national efforts to create
sustainable solutions to minimize impact of construction on the
environment,
Reduced ecological footprint,
Extended service life,
Optimized use of locally available materials,
Achieving environmental benefits reduced carbon footprint,
reduced congestion related emissions.
Reduced work zone related traffic delays and safety concerns use
materials that reduce the potential for early failures.
