It is extremely important that the modifier is thoroughly mixed with bitumen before thepreparation of the bituminous mix so that the modified bitumen retains its premium properties.Different types of modifiers require different techniques of blending. The exact temperature and timeof blending depends upon the type and amount of modifier use as it plays very vital role in obtainingthe required properties of modified bitumen. In this study the crumb rubber modified bitumen(CRMB) samples are prepared for varying blending temperature and blending time. From the study itis determine that the various properties of CRMB varies with blending temperature and blendingtime. The optimum blending temperature and blending time found out 1750C and 45 minutesrespectively for preparing high quality CRMB.
