This exploration program aims to inspect the effect of utilizing metal shavings which is a waste item as reinforcing materials on mechanical properties of cold mix bitumen. Two unique sorts of metal shavings were utilized, steel and aluminum. Different samples of cold mix bitumen in with different percentages of steel and aluminum were arranged and tried. The emulsion content was varied from 8-10% by weight of aggregate. 1% cement was utilized as added substance. SS-2 grade emulsion was utilized as binder. The optimum emulsion content was seen as 8.83%. At first an appropriate experimental methodology was framed and afterward the impacts of metal shavings on the performance of compacted mix were examined. Four distinct dosages of metal shavings were taken (0.2%, 0.35%, 0.50%, and 0.65% by the aggregate weight). Laboratory tests (Marshall Test, Indirect Tensile Strength test, Abrasion Resistance Test) normally utilized for hot mixes were considered, adjusting the testing techniques considering the particular characteristics of cold mixes. The outcomes demonstrated huge improvement in mechanical properties of mixes. Marshall and Flow values of the mixes were seen to be improved, the Indirect Tensile Strength increased, that demonstrates a considerable commitment towards slowing crack propagation. Also finally, abrasion resistance that was represented in terms of particle loss also improved.
