Nowadays, Flexible pavements with bituminous surfaces are now widely used. The formation of various distresses such as rutting, bleeding, cracking, and potholing of bituminous surfacing is caused by increased traffic intensity on roads, overloading of commercial vehicles, and temperature variation of pavements due to climatic changes. Bitumen becomes very soft in the summer and brittle in the winter due to high temperatures. Several studies have revealed that the stability and strength of bitumen and bituminous mixes can be improved by the addition of certain additives, and the bitumen premixed with these additives is known as modified bitumen". The current research aims to use modified bitumen made from waste polyethylene terephthalate for road construction. A solution to this problem would be to use waste polyethylene terephthalate as a secondary material in construction projects.
