Characteristics of Bitumen Asphalt For Roads and Airfield Pavements Modified by Nanosilica
Characteristics of Bitumen Asphalt For Roads and Airfield Pavements Modified by Nanosilica
nanosilica
The objective of this study is to evaluate the Marshall characteristics of asphalt modified by 2%,
4%, 6% and 8% nanosilica by weight of bitumen binder. Addition of nanosilica in bitumen
binder increases the viscosity of asphalt and improves the rutting & fatigue resistance of asphalt
mixture. Damage and distress characteristics of modified asphalt are evaluated to ensure
improved performance of asphalt mixture for roads and airfield pavements.
