Roads play a major role in the overall infrastructure development of our country. Any kind of deterioration in roadways needs to be restricted, as it directly or indirectly affects the overall growth of our country. Road material is composed of aggregates and bitumen. With time, due to environmental exposure, bitumen degrades chemically and becomes brittle. In addition, moisture may penetrate in the pavement causing loss of adhesion between aggregates and binder. Furthermore, thermal effects, freeze-thaw action, traffic movement, poor underlying support may be the cause of crack propagation and aggregate losses that lead to formation of different distresses. Any kind repair is necessary in those situations where distresses compromise safety and pavement work-ability. As per the present scenario, temporary and semi-permanent solutions are there, but rather than that we can improve our conventional mix. As urbanization takes place we need to improve old techniques of mix to overcome new problems. In the study we are mainly focuses on the improvement of material strength by adding admixture. The main goal of our study is to understand the different properties of material used in the mix and to improve the properties of conventional asphalt mix by adding some admixtures.
