In recent days when fuel prices exceed all-time records and exhaustion of greenhouse gases are limited for producers. Mastic asphalt wearing coarse has gained worldwide acceptance in road construction because it provides a deformation-resistant, durable surfacing material, suitable for heavily trafficked roads. But in India the use of Mastic Asphalt is limited due to its high cost of preparation, high production temperature and exhaustion of greenhouse gases and emissions. The present investigation is aimed to study the effect of warm mix additives for lowering the production temperature of Mastic Asphalt. Mastic asphalt samples were prepared with & without coarse aggregates to decide upon the optimum percentage upto which the addition can be done. Various design codes such as IS, IRC & MORTH were used for the design of mastic asphalt samples and hardness number test was performed to set the criteria for the acceptability of the addition percentage. Ingredients were selected as per specifications laid in Indian Standard codes. Use of warm mix additive may enhance the engineering properties of Mastic asphalt as well as brings down the cost of fuel consumption.
