Mitul Patel, Vikas Patel, Devendra K.Patel, Prof.C.B.Mishra

With the rise of human activity, since the beginning of the 20thcentury due to rapid rise in heavy laden vehicles on Indian roads has put pressure on it. The asphalt paving industry is constantly exploring technological improvements that will enhance the material’s performance, increase construction efficiency, conserve resources, and advance environmental stewardship. In this paper an attempt is made to use viscosity grade 30 paving mix having benefits of reducing time and cost of testing without sacrificing its quality. Viscosity grade 30 paving mix with innovative warm mix additive (Rediset) in suitable doses is prepared and tested to determine key properties of Marshall Mix design as per the provisions of codal practice. The reflection of tests suggests the strong desire to move WMA into the main stream of paving products as the production temperature is lowered benefitting the pavement construction efficiency and lowering pollution levels too.
