A STUDY ON EFFECT OF CERAMIC WASTE IN BITUMINOUS CONCRETE MIXES -A REVIEW PAPER

Abstract

Bituminous mixes are most commonly used all over the world in flexible pavement construction. It consists
of asphalt or bitumen (used as a binder) and mineral aggregate which are mixed together, laid down in layers and then
compacted. Today’s bituminous concrete pavements are expected to perform better as they are experiencing increased
volume of traffic, increased loads and increased variations in daily or seasonal temperature over what has been
experienced in the past. In this paving mix, normally lime is used as filler material. A study has been carried out in work
to explore the use of ceramic waste as filler material in different proportion as well as aggregate of 6mm size chips to
bituminous concrete mix. Marshall Test has been considered for the purpose of mix design as well as evaluation of
paving mixes. The amount of optimum binder content will determined by Marshall Stability test for samples. The
mechanical performance will determine for Marshall Stability, deformation behaviour or flow, as well as for density and
void characteristics base on prevailing Indian standards specifications.
