| Summary: | This research investigates the viscelastic properties of asphalt bitumen modified with
waste plastic bottles compared to the ordinary 80/100 bitumen. The contents of modifier will be varied
to investigate its effects on the rheological properties of the modified binders. The binders were
characterized using standard laboratory tests such as penetration test, softening point test, viscosity
test and dynamic shear rheometer test. Using the waste plastic materials showed prominent results in
improving the viscoelstic properties of ordinary bitumen. The effects waste modifiers influenced
significantly the rheological behavior of bitumen by increasing its complex modulus and decreasing
phase angle.
