An Experimental Study on Marshall Properties of Bituminous Concrete Mix Prepared Using E-Waste and GGBS(as Filler)

Abstract: Bituminous roads are defined as the roads in the construction of which bitumen is used as binder. It consists of an intimate mixture of aggregates, mineral filler and bitumen. The quality and durability of bituminous road is influenced by the type and amount of filler material is used. The filler tends to stiffen the asphaltic cement by getting finely dispersed in it. Various materials such as cement, lime, granite powder, stone dust and fine sand are normally used as filler in bituminous mixes. Cement, lime and granite powder are expensive and used for other purposes more effectively. Fine sand, ash, waste concrete dust and brick dust finer than 0.075 mm sieve size appear to be suitable as filler material. The use of waste powder as filler in asphalt mixture has been the focus of several research efforts over the past few years. Phosphate waste filler Jordanian oil shale fly ash, bag house fines recycled waste lime, municipal solid waste incineration ash and waste ceramic materials have been investigated as filler. It was proved that these types of recycled filler could be used in asphalt mixture and gave improved performance. So the present study has been taken in order to investigate the behaviour of bituminous mixes with different types of filler materials locally available
