dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the use of Styrene-butadiene (SBR) and Polyethylene Bags (PEB) as modifiers on properties of bitumen. Bitumen modifier (SBR, PEB and SBR/PEB) at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15% by weight of 500g hot bitumen were used. The bitumen and percentages of SBR, PEB, and SBR/PEB were heated until the PEB, SBR, and SBR/PEB added was melted, thereby stirred thoroughly with each other in each container of the specimen. The modified bitumen (i.e. bitumen with the additives at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15%) and unmodified bitumen (control bitumen) were allowed to cool to a temperature of 85oC. The modified and unmodified bitumen were subjected to penetration, ductility, softening point of bitumen, and flash and fire point of bitumen tests. The results obtained in each test shows that using SBR/PEB as modifier on the properties of bitumen would not only increase the lifespan of the road pavement but also serves as the means of managing the waste menace.Utilization of these waste (SBR and PEB) in bitumen proved that it would enhance the properties of the bituminous mix in addition to solve disposal problem.
