Bituminous mixture is most commonly used all over the world in flexible pavement construction. It consists of asphalt or bitumen (used as a binder) and mineral aggregate which are mixed together to lay down in layers and then compacted. In addition, the performance of bituminous pavements is found to be very poor in hilly areas. Considering this in view that lot of work has been done on use of additives in bituminous mixtures and as well as on modification of bitumen. My research has indicated that the addition of polymers to asphalt binders helps to increase the strength and interfacial cohesiveness of the bond between the aggregate and the binder which can enhance many properties of the pavements to help meet these increased demands. However, the additive that is to be used for modification of mixture or binder should satisfy both the strength requirements as well as economical aspects. The present study aims in investigating the experimental performance of the bitumen modified with 15% by weight of polythene varying its sizes. Four different categories of size of will be used, which are coarse (1 mm - 600 μm); medium size (600 μm - 300 μm); fine (300 μm150 μm); and superfine (150 μm - 75 μm). Common laboratory tests will be performed on the modified bitumen using various sizes of, polythene and thus analyzed. Marshall Stability method is adopted for mix design. Finally a comparative study is made among the modified bitumen samples using the various sizes of plastic particles and various percentages of polythene and the best size is suggested for the modification to obtain best results.
