Polymer modification of bitumen has been commonly performed since the 1980s in order to decrease bitumen (and pavement) susceptibility to high and low temperatures, allowing reduction in common failure mechanisms as rutting and cracking. Bitumen modification has been commonly performed by addition of thermoplastic or elastomeric polymers. Polymer modified bitumen is an essential reference for scientists and engineers, from both academia and the civil engineering and transport industries, interested in the properties and characterisation of polymer modified bitumen. The utilization of plastic waste in bituminous mixes enhances its properties and also its Strength. The waste plastic is shredded and mixed with hot bitumen and resulted mix is used for pavement construction. This will not only strengthen the pavement but also increases its durability.
