Abstract

In this paper, a comparison of Marshall Valuesbetween conventional briquette and Low Density Poly
Ethylene (LDPE) coated chip seal interlayered briquettes were done. The interlayers are formed in various thicknesses
like 14, 16 and 18 mm in the overall depth of 64mm briquettes. The tests are conducted in Marshall Stability apparatus.
It is found from this study that the interlayered briquettes perform more than the conventional briquette. While using
LDPE coated chip seal as interlayer we achieve less bitumen consumption and durability has been increased.
Thepenetration of water into sublayers is also being arrested due to the usage of polymer.
