Abstract

The effect of polymer composition on hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the primary focus of this research. The primary goal is to examine how temperature affects HMA's mechanical characteristics and performance, especially concerning polymer concentration. Polymer composition and modifications to HMA, including synthetic rubber and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), are the object of this research. Optimizing HMA polymer mix to improve durability, load-bearing capacity, and structural integrity is the study's key issue. The study also seeks to understand the intricate interaction between polymer concentration and HMA parameters, such as compressive strength, modulus, and stress. The research findings indicate that the maximum load of 68.169 kN was achieved with a mixture containing 5 % synthetic rubber at a temperature of 200 °C. The material exhibited stiffness and resistance to deformation, with an average crack size of 0.01 kN/mm2 and a modulus value of 0.309 kN/mm2. According to the Marshall function, the optimal blend consists of 5 % asphalt mixed at 175 °C. The results indicate that polymer mix considerably affects HMA's mechanical properties, particularly load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance. To optimize HMA performance, polymer content and temperature must be optimized. The results show that HMA with 5 % synthetic rubber under specified temperature settings has better mechanical qualities, including load-bearing capacity and stiffness. These findings help optimize polymer composition for HMA performance. These findings can be used to create more lasting and eco-friendly paving solutions. Road engineers and designers can extend asphalt pavement life and reduce environmental effects by adjusting the HMA polymer mix and temperature
