The increase in industrial wastes, which are released to the nature
together with the developing technology, seriously damages both the environment
and human health. The amount of waste materials is increasing day by day and
the storage areas are limited. Nowadays, some waste materials are used in the
construction sector for their usability and recovery. The use of waste as a
recycling material is known to be used in road construction as a contribution
to the content of bitumen, which constitutes the majority of the cost of
asphalt concrete. In this study, the effects of modified bitumen on the
performance characteristics of asphalt concrete containing waste were
investigated. Samples were obtained with Marshall Design by using bitumen
modified with these materials and their results were evaluated. When the test
results are examined; it was observed that the Marshall strengths of the
modified samples decreased in small amounts. However, all samples provide the
required standard conditions. In this way, both environmental waste is
evaluated and sustainable life is ensured.
