Cellulose Fibers (Banana Fibers) As A Stabilization Additive In Stone Matrix Asphalt

NALLURI NAGABABU, Mr. A. KARTHIK

Abstract


Asphalt pavement is the most prevalent type of highway pavement because of its advantages low noise, skid resistance convenience and recyclability. However asphalt pavement subjected to distress of cracking and rutting under the effects of repeated vehicle loading and freeze law cycles for these reason increase the performance of pavement stone matrix asphalt (SMA) modified. SMA  is gap graded HMA that is designed to minimize deformation(rutting) resistance and durability by using structural basis of stone to stone contact because the aggregate are all in contact rut resistance relies on aggregate properties rather than asphalt binder properties. Since aggregates do not deform as much as asphalt binder under load this stone on stone contact greatly reducing rutting SMA originally in Europe to resist rutting and studded tire wear has been used in since about 1990
