Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<b style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">Solid waste is a major problem as far as environment is concerned. Crumb rubber is a waste from Industrial corporation. It is available in large quantity as a waste in Industries. It is smart innovation to utilize Crumb rubber in Road Pavement. Bitumen percent is reduced as crumb rubber is added in it. The mixture of crumb rubber in bitumen is the best solution to re-use the industrial waste. The main aim of present research is to determine optimum binder content by adding 5% crumb rubber in bitumen content and design the bituminous mix. The optimum binder content so obtained from lab tests is considered to be the best mix design.</span></b>< /> <b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">< clear="all" style="page-eak-before:auto;mso-eak-type:section-eak" /> </span></b></p> <div class="WordSection2"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">&nbsp;</span></b></p> </div> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">< clear="all" style="page-eak-before:always;mso-eak-type:section-eak" /> </span></b></p>
