The study explores replacing bitumen with melted shredded tires in asphalt to enhance mechanical properties and sustainability in road construction. Various replacement percentages (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) were tested using penetration, softening point, and Marshall stability tests. Results indicated that a 15% replacement offered optimal performance, improving the asphalt's functionality. This method not only enhances the resilience and durability of road surfaces but also addresses environmental concerns by recycling waste tires. It contributes to sustainable infrastructure development by reducing reliance on virgin bitumen and utilizing recycled materials effectively.
