1. (Huang, Shu, Effects of mineral fillers It is well recognized that mineral fillers play an important role in the properties of mastics
& Chen, 2007) on hot-mix asphalt and hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures. Better understanding of the effects of fillers on the
laboratory-measured properties of mastics and HMA mixtures is crucial to good mix design and high
properties performance of HMA mixtures.
Generally, hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures consist of three components: mineral
aggregates, asphalt binder and air voids. Asphalt binder and mineral filler (mineral
aggregate passing the No. 200 sieve or less than 0.075 mm) constitute mastic.
Today, it is well recognized that HMA should be considered as mixtures of mastic-coated
aggregates rather than pure asphalt-coated aggregates. Mastics have been gaining more and
more attention in the asphalt industry because of its significant influence on the properties
of HMA mixtures and ultimately on the performance of flexible pavements.
Perhaps the earliest research of asphalt mastics dates back to the work of Richardson
(1914). He investigated the function of filler in mastics and postulated that the effect of
filler was not just void-filling. He implied that some sort of physico-chemical phenomenon
existed in the filler-asphalt system.
Physiochemical reinforcement mechanisms in asphalt mastics were deeply investigated by
Craus et al. (1978). They used six types of filler to study three factors affecting
physiochemical reinforcement, including geometric characteristics of filler, adsorption
intensity, and selective sorption. High surface area, rough surface texture, and high surface
activity (adsorption intensity) were all found to yield increases in mastic stiffness.
Among all the mineral filler used in HMA mixtures, perhaps hydrated lime is the most
often investigated because of many benefits associated with its use. Laboratory and field-
testing have proven that hydrated lime can substantially reduce moisture susceptibility,
enhance the asphalt-aggregate bond, and improve the resistance of mixtures to water-
induced damage (Little and Epps 2001). Little and Petersen (2005) recently gave a detailed
review of the unique effects of hydrated lime filler on the performance-related properties of
asphalt cements (AC).
This paper presents a laboratory investigation into the effects of different fillers on some
laboratory-measured properties of asphalt mastics and HMA mixtures. The objective of the
present study was to investigate the influence of mineral fillers on mix design and
performance characteristics of HMA mixtures.
The HMA mixture properties investigated in this study include optimum AC content,
indirect tensile (IDT) strength, IDT toughness index (TI), tensile strength ratio (TSR), and
asphalt pavement analyzer (APA) rut depth.
The properties of HMA mixtures evaluated include optimum asphalt cement (AC) content,

Concrete Mixtures glass as filler in hot mix asphalt is still not widely experimented.
Properties
In this research glass powder is proposed as an alternative to traditional lime stone powder
(Gubraa) and ordinary Portland cement fillers in hot asphalt mixtures. Where, the effect of
using waste glass powder as mineral filler on Marshall Properties of hot asphalt concrete
mixtures is investigated.
Various studies have been conducted to study the properties of mineral filler especially the
material passing 0.075 mm (sieve No. 200) and to evaluate its effect on the performance of
asphalt paving mixtures in terms of consistency, void filling, resistance to displacement,
water susceptibility, Marshall stability and mix strength.
Waste glass considered one of the most important parts of the collected waste materials, it
is nonmetallic and inorganic, it can neither be incinerated nor decomposed, so it may be
difficult to reclaim. Hence, it has been used in highway construction as an aggregate
substitute in hot mix asphalt paving. When crushed waste glass is incorporated in hot mix
asphalt the resulting mixture is sometimes referred to as “glasphalt.
Many communities have recently incorporated crushed glass aggregate into their roadway
specifications, which could help to encourage greater use of the material. While the use of
waste glass as filler in hot mix asphalt is still not widely experimented. Glass material is
brittle and rich in silicon, so the key technical indexes of glasphalt are strength and
resistance against water damage. Shaopeng et. al. (11) concluded in their study that waste
broken glass can be used in asphalt concrete mixture with the maximal size of 4.75 mm
and the optimal replacement ratio of 10%. They had also indicate that performance such as
strength index, high temperature stability and water stability achieve the standards.
This research will discuss the possibility of use waste glass powder as filler material
into hot mix asphalt mixes.

Polymer Modified
Asphalt Binders Nowadays, as a result of growth in the production of industrial materials all over the world,
generation of different waste materials has been also increased. Therefore, it is essential to
develop methods for recycling waste materials. There are different methods for dealing
with waste materials such as landfill, incineration and material recycling. Material
recycling is the best and most practical method from economical, technical and
environmental points of view.
About ten million tons of waste and crushed glass (which is one of the waste materials) are
annually produced worldwide.
This material can be recycled several times without any change in its properties. In road
construction industry, only waste glass cullet has been used as an aggregate for glass
recycling thus far. Results of previous studies in this regard have shown that combination
of waste glass cullet and asphalt could improve some properties of pavements [10].
The main objective of this research was to investigate the influences of micro size
crushed glass on the physical and mechanical properties of SBR modified asphalt
binders and mixtures.

with Waste Glass It has been recognized with growing concern that agricultural and industrial waste is being
Content produced in ever-increasing volumes. On the other hand, our consumption of resources is
increasing as the world’s population and rapid industrialization are rising, so natural
resources are being exhausted. Therefore, the use of waste and recycled materials is very
important to achieve environmental and economic benefits. In order to reduce
environmental hazards and conserve natural resources, the use of recycled waste materials
in the surfacing of roads could be extremely effective.
Recently, waste glass and its application in asphalt mixtures have been researched in
detail, with the goal of reusing alternative materials as much as possible and saving
natural resources.
