3. INTRODUCTION
• Crumb rubber is recycled rubber.
• produced from automotive and truck scrap tires.
• Hydrocarbon binder obtained through physical or chemical
interaction of crumb rubber with bitumen and some specific
additives.
4. Why crumb?
• 2.75 million vehicles generate discarded tyres
annually.
• 30,000 – 40,000 tyres are scrapped every day.
• Use of CRMB in maintenance of roads can
consume 3500 kg/km of non-biodegradable
waste rubber.

6. USES
• Road Asphalt
• Vibration Absorption Systems for Railway
Structures
• Modification of Concrete Properties
• Road Speed Reducers
• Solution for Stables
• Floor Slabs
• Playgrounds
7. International use of crumb
• Being used in USA since 1960.
• Currently Arizona, fluoride, Texas and California
are using 2 millions of rubberized bitumen
annually.
• Very popular in Australia for chip sealing wearing
course and structural layers.
• Use of crumb is increasing in developing
countries of Latin America.
8. Different grades of crumb
Product description
CRMB 60 For hot climate areas.
CRMB 55 For moderate climate
areas.
CRMB 50 For cold climate areas.
10. NEEDS
• Every year millions of tons of rubber waste are produce in India.
Utilizing these materials in highway road construction, the pollution
and disposal problems can be successfully be reduced.
•This reduces the pollution occurred due to waste tyres as well as
minimizes the use of natural aggregate, which help in reducing
global warming as well as health problems.
•Crum rubber is very suitable to be the used as an additive in
pavement because it has the characteristic that can support the
weakness of asphalt It not only enhances the properties of bitumen
but also addresses serious environmental pollution issues.
11. ADVANTAGES
• Higher resistance to deformations, wear and
tear.
• Reduced reflective cracking.
• Lower susceptibility to temperature variations.
• Higher fatigue life of mixes.
• Better adhesion properties.
• Reduced noise.
12. CONCLUSION
• Crumb mixes indicate better resistance to deformation
at higher temperature.
• High indirect tensile stiffness modulus.
• Superior resistance to moisture damage.
• Take higher traffic stresses due to high stiffness
modulus.
• Provides 50% more service life than a normal bitumen
road.
• Reduction in road maintenance cost by 30%.
• Enhances tyre rolling and save fuel by 10%.
• More comfortable riding.
14. Future Plan
• Collect Crumb Rubber through local Suppliers
• Physical testing of Crumb Rubber.
• Casting of Specimen without crumb rubber
• Casting of Specimen by using Crumb Rubber
(5%, 10% w/w of Natural Aggregates).
