ABSTRACT
In the current day, cars have changed from becoming a luxury purchase to a necessity
for humans. Because people need to move around a lot, especially in cities, cars
became useful and have steadily grown in popularity. As a result, the production of tire is
also extremely increasing, occasionally, it is given that tires wear off and it needs to
replace.
Since they were first developed about 200 years ago, tires have been used in a
wide variety of applications. Over one billion passenger cars are estimated to be in use
worldwide. Think about how many tires will eventually be thrown out. An estimated 280
million tires are wasted annually. Tires decompose relatively slowly; they do not
biodegrade right away. A tire may possibly take 50 to 80 years, or even longer, to
break down in a landfill.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of adding crumb rubber to
asphalt mixture using wet process and investigate the hardness and consistency of an
Asphalt Mixture. The laboratory hot mix asphalt design tests were done by Marshall
method procedure.
Since rubber tires is a hydrophobic material, it can be considered as an additive
on making an asphalt mixture. In construction, asphalt plays an important role on
highways and freeways because it offers a smooth surface to vehicles who often use
highways and freeways, it gives vehicles a better contact or grip on the ground -and
also asphalt gives a much longer life to a tire. Therefore, it will be very helpful if we add
rubber to asphalt because the liquid will slow its aging and oxidation of the resultant
binder, extending pavement life by reducing brittleness and cracking.
Open-graded asphalt mixes with rubber-modified asphalt binders offer lower
hydroplaning, vehicle spray, and pavement noise. It can be an option to reduce its
harmful effects on the environment and at the same time make a cost-efficient asphalt
mixture.
The design of the project began with the gradation of aggregates prior to mixing.
Aggregates were mixed with shredded tires and cold asphalt. During the molding
process, tampering was required.
As part of the compaction process, the molded sample was cooled and then
tested to see if the design was adequate. Predetermined amounts of the aggregate
fractions for each gradation were combined. These were dried and batch-mixed before
being thoroughly mixed with asphalt and shredded tire fraction.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In this modern age, cars have evolved into a human necessity from once being a
luxury purchase. Since people, especially in the cities, require great mobility, cars
became handy, and their numbers increased exponentially throughout the years.
Though cars make people’s lives efficient, it compromises our environmental
state. According to the research done by Emissions Analytics, a UK-based independent
testing company, car parts, specifically tires, create pollution which is found to be 1,850
times higher than emissions from the tailpipes of modern cars, according to the latest
testing. This also showed that used tires produce 36 milligrams of particles each
kilometer, which is nearly 2,000 times higher than the 0.02 mg/km average from
exhausts.
In the same study, it was discovered that tire wear includes carcinogens among
other harmful compounds. Some tires were also made from synthetic rubber that is
made with crude oil which can immediately pollute sources by entering water and soil.
Tires were created approximately 200 years ago, and their applications continue
to expand. It is believed that there are over a billion passenger automobiles around the
globe. Consider the number of tires that will eventually be discarded. Each year, an
estimated 280 million tires are wasted. Tires do not biodegrade immediately, in fact, they
break down very slowly. It can even take 50-80 years or sometimes longer for a tire to
decompose in a landfill.
Since rubber is a hydrophobic material, the use of used tires can be considered
as an additive in the asphalt mixture. In construction, asphalt plays an important role
because it is a material that offers a smooth surface, giving tires on cars and other
vehicles a lot better contact and grip on the ground. Therefore, it will be very helpful if we
add rubber to asphalt because the liquid will slow its aging and oxidation of the resultant
binder, extending pavement life by reducing brittleness and cracking. Open-graded
asphalt mixes with rubber-modified asphalt binders offer lower hydroplaning, vehicle
spray, and pavement noise. It can be an option to reduce its harmful effects on the
environment and at the same time make a cost-efficient asphalt mixture.

To the Community,
The study will be beneficial to them because producing a cost-effective
concrete mixture and at the same time meeting the requirement in terms of its
strength will help them. The use of recycled tire rubber can be considered as an
additive in Bituminous Concrete Overlay. In addition, it contributes to the
environment by reducing rubber waste which can have a positive effect on the
health of the community.

Definition of Terms
Asphalt - also known as bitumen, is a sticky, black, highly viscous liquid or semi-solid
form of petroleum. It may be found in natural deposits or may be a refined product and
is classed as a pitch. Before the 20th century, the term asphaltum was also used.
Tires - a rubber cushion that fits around a wheel as of an automobile and usually
contains compressed air

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
The sections below are the various studies with regards to the Efficiency of
Recycled Tire Rubber (RTR) as an Aggregate for Bituminous Concrete Overlay
Local
According to Simeon, the local government of Quezon City and Holcim Philippines,
Inc. (formerly Union Cement) forged recently an agreement to promote the proper disposal
of used tires. With an estimated 200,000 tons of used tires generated in the country
every year, the move was deemed urgent to help reduce mounting environmental problems
and health risks due to improper disposal of tires. Used tires can only be recapped up
to three times before motorists discard them.
The Philippines is Southeast Asia's fourth-largest producer of solid waste with
14.66 million tons produced annually, while the region produces 1.14 kg of waste per
person per day (Jain, 2017). In Metro Manila, Quezon city remains to be the most
populated and biggest waste generator. Waste generation has climbed to 0.88
kg/capita/day, according to the Waste Analysis and Characterization Study (WACS)
carried out by the QC Environmental Protection and Waste Management Department
(EPWMD, 2013). The same survey also revealed that the amount of waste produced
per person rises by 3.33% annually. Another WACS by QC Solid Waste Controlled
Disposal Facility (2011) reports 5.8% of waste mass components are rubber and
leather. According to s. 3 of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000,
rubber tires fall under the category of special waste, which is often handled separately
from normal household and business waste.
Every year, the nation produces over 200,000 tons of used tires. Due to poor
management and regulation, discarded tires frequently end up improperly dispersed,
clogging drainage systems and creeks, or are inefficiently piled up in landfills where,
due to their size and ability to trap harmful gasses like methane, they provide a
breeding ground for disease. The vast amount of waste tire rubber that exists
nowadays is a severe issue that has an influence on the environment. Incorporating
waste tires in construction materials has been practiced for many years. One approach
is the usage of so-called recycled rubber as coarse aggregate for concrete mixtures.
5
Efficiency of Recycled Tire Rubber (RTR) as an Additive for Bituminous Concrete Overlay
Concrete projects will be more affordable and cost-effective due to the addition of cut
rubber tire pellets to concrete mixtures, which will drastically reduce the amount of
conventional coarse particles needed in concrete. There is also a significant 10-20%
reduction in the overall weight of the concrete (Ganiron Jr, 2014).
Crumb rubber tire (CRT) has also been utilized as fine aggregates in an asphalt
mix. The findings demonstrated reduced material cost compared to normal asphalt
mix, despite the decrease in stability as CRT content rises (Muhi & Tana, 2021). Usage
of rubber as an additive for conventional asphalt in the creation of asphalt concrete for
road paving is one appropriate use. It turned out to be an effective answer for various
types of issues within infrastructure and road construction. Wherever this material was
employed, improved efficiency and lower costs of maintenance were guaranteed for all
applications.

point. There was an almost 8% reduction in concrete density in the sample containing
25% crumb rubber. According to Dong et al. (2013), treated rubber-coated concrete
has a 10–20% higher compressive and splitting tensile strength than untreated rubber-
coated concrete. Concrete with coated rubber and concrete without rubber both had
about equal chloride ion resistance. The concrete with coated rubber showed
increased energy absorption capability.
According to Xue and Shinozuka (2013), the addition of silica fumes to concrete
can strengthen the binding between the cement paste and crumb rubber, as seen by
the rubberized silica fume concrete increasing compressive stresses. According to
Nayef et al. (2010), the addition of 5% silica fumes to rubberized concrete reduces the
amount by which compressive strength is lost when temperatures are high. Above 400
°C, the compressive strength of the concrete was equivalent to that of control concrete.
In concrete, Yilmaz and Degirmenci (2009) found that as rubber particle size
increased, water absorption decreased. According to Bravo and de Brito (2012), the
proportion of rubber and the size of the rubber particles both affect how much water
rubberized concrete can absorb when submerged. The capillary water absorption test
did not yield definitive results. According to Azevedo et al. (2012), concrete with a 15%
rubber component can nevertheless have minimal capillary activity. When compared to
tire chip-modified concrete, Li et al. (2004) found that waste tire fiber-modified concrete
had higher strength and stiffness. Comparing the two specimens to the control
specimens, the post-crack toughness of both was higher (without rubber). The strength
and stiffness of rubberized concrete can be improved by stiffening the tire fibers and
using thin fibers.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This study was conducted in order to assess rubber tires as an additive in the
asphalt mixture.
The credibility of findings and conclusions extensively depends on the project
design, data gathering procedure, research locale, and project development. This
chapter will be dedicated to the methods and procedures done in order to obtain the
data, how they will be analyzed, interpreted, and how the conclusion will be met.
This section is to justify the means by which the study was obtained and will
help in giving it purpose and strength as it will then be truthful and analytical. All this
will help in the processing of the data and the formulation of conclusions.
Project Design
The design of the project began with the gradation of aggregates prior to mixing.
Aggregates were mixed with shredded tires and cold asphalt. During the molding
process, tampering was required. As part of the compaction process, the molded
sample was cooled and then tested to see if the design was adequate. Predetermined
amounts of the aggregate fractions for each gradation were combined. These were
dried and batch-mixed before being thoroughly mixed with asphalt and shredded tire
fraction. This study suggested using 5.2% of the total cumulative weight of asphalt.
The scrap waste tire had a cubical shape and was retained in sieve no. 8. If the
smallest percentage of scrap tire used as an additive in the asphalt mixture fails to
meet the standards and specifications, the study should try a different amount or
percentage of this material
The technique that was used for the collection of data was the conduction of the
experiment. We used a proportionality by weight in grams of 1200: 63.16: 3.92 in
10

percentage its 94.7: 5: 0.3 for aggregates, asphalt, and rubber tires respectively. The
samples were cured for two days before being tested for Density, solubility, and
penetration. The magnitude of correlation will be used to easily compute the
interpretation of the data and to gather data quickly. In this study, the experimental
method is appropriate because it allows the researcher to formulate generalizations.

Research Locale
The experiment was carried out at the Department of Public Works and
Highways - Bureau of Research and Standards (DPWH-BRS) in Diliman, Quezon City,
because all the necessary materials were available as well as all the machines and
equipment needed for testing.
Project Development
The project's developments are focused on the waste tire, which was the
primary concern of the study, in order to maximize its value for another beneficial
purpose. It began with gathering or collecting waste tires from a heap of stuff. These
were cleaned and dried to remove unwanted particles before being manually cut into
smaller pieces with a knife and cutter. Aggregates undergo sieve analysis particularly
in coarse aggregates before proceeding on the batching. The presence of fine
aggregates and fillers was required in the mixture. It was turned over for mixing after
the aggregates had been graded. Shredded waste tires and asphalt were used to add
aggregates. The specimens were molded and tampered with before being subjected to
75 blows in both faces for compaction.
12
Efficiency of Recycled Tire Rubber (RTR) as an Additive for Bituminous Concrete Overlay
The testing and curing of the mix design will provide two outcomes. Either it is
adequate, or it is not. If the first scenario occurs, it will be recommended to use
discarded tires in asphalt pavement mixes. If the latter is the case, the mixture
procedure must be repeated with an additional percentage of shredded waste tire
added to the asphalt mix.
The accepted mixture design was tested using the Laboratory Testing
Procedures Manual for Bituminous Materials and Bituminous Mixtures created by the
Department of Public Works and Highway in accordance with the standards of the
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and the American
Society for Testing and Materials. Determination of Bulk Specific Gravity, Immersion
Compression Test, and Determination of the Effect of Water on the Cohesion of
Compacted Bituminous Mixtures are the three tests.

TIRE PROCESS
It is required to make tires usable as an additive for the asphalt mixture. The
steel and fiber must be removed from the tires and then the remaining tire must be
reduced in size to small particles for blending into the asphalt binder or mixture.

Procedure:
Preparation of Materials
Prior to the actual making of bituminous Concrete all the raw materials (i.e.,
Bitumen, F.A., and C.A.) shall undergo physical tests for the properties (i.e., sieve
analysis, unit weight, bulk specific gravity and absorption capacity) needed for the mix
design process. ACI Method of Concrete Mix Design shall be done
1. Prepare all the raw materials by weight. Make sure you have all the necessary
items prepared and check to see that none are missing.
2. Obtain the used tires, clean them to eliminate any undesired particles, and allow
them to dry. After the tires have dried, cut them to the appropriate size using a
knife and cutter.
3. Set aside the prepared used tires and, based on the appropriate quantity,
prepare the cold bitumen and the coarse aggregates. Load cleaned and washed
the aggregates free from dust and moisture
4. Mix the quarry products evenly. After carefully combining all ingredients, add
asphalt and mix again. Remember that over-mixing will lead to de-coating in
aggregates, and it tend to lose adhesiveness.

Bulk Specific Gravity (Gmb) is defined as the ratio of the oven dry weight in air of a unit
volume of a permeable material to the unit weight of an equal volume of water at a stated
temperature.
Moreover, typical values for bulk specific gravity range from 2.200 to 2.500 depending
upon the bulk specific gravity of the aggregate, the asphalt binder content, and the amount of
compaction, (Bulk Specific Gravity – Pavement Interactive, n.d.)

Tables 5 and 6 show that the bulk specific gravity of each conventional and crumb
rubber samples have passed the desired value and are in range. However, it can also be
noticed that bulk specific gravity of the Crumb rubber samples is more precise in contrast to
the results of the conventional samples.
Marshall Stability
The Marshall Test is a popular and proven method to measure the load and flow rate of
asphalt specimens, beginning with compaction into molds using manual or automated Marshall
Compactors, and conditioned in a Water Bath at the specified temperature, (Marshall Testing
Equipment - Gilson Co., n.d.).

Tables 7 and 8 show that the calculated Marshall stability of each conventional and
crumb rubber samples almost of the sample passed the desired value and are in range.
However, Asphalt C1 of Conventional samples have failed to reach the minimum value of

Marshall Stability. On the other hand, all the crumb rubber samples passed the minimum
value.
According to Misha (2010), the Marshall stability test - flow test on bitumen was
developed by the Mississippi State Highway Department and is suitable to hot mix
design of bitumen and aggregates with a maximum size of 25 mm. The mix's stability
is defined as the maximum load carried by a compacted specimen at a standard test
temperature of 60 degrees Celsius,
The flow is measured as the deformation in units of 0.25 mm between no load
and maximum load carried by the specimen during the stability test, flow value may
also be measured by deformation units of 0.1 mm. This test attempts to get the
optimum binder content for the aggregate mix type, (Mishra, 2010)

Air voids is the last computation that will determine if the sample is feasible and
within standard. For asphalt, air voids should range between 3-5%. Computation
above entails that the conventional sample, given that Asphalt C1 was tested, failed
this standard. However, crumb rubber sample, given that Asphalt R1 was tested, yield
a result that passed the standard with 4.650%.

RECOMMENDATION, CONCLUSION
Conclusion

Efficiency of Recycled Tire Rubber (RTR) as an Additive for Bituminous Concrete Overlay
Recommendation
Further studies in this field should also consider the addition of test methods to
be conducted. Instead of considering commercially supplied crumb rubber tire, the
comparison should be based on the use of old rubber tire that the researchers grinded.
Possible side effects of the asphalt that has crumb rubber tire in it should also be
studied. The number of grams of crumb rubbers that can be added should be varied to
determine which number of grams added to the mixture is more effective.
To the Community,
Utilize the connection with the local government concerning the issue of
irradicating waste like rubber tire in the society. Enough budget should also be
considered. Having some projects, such as a clean-up drive, so that concerned
citizens or localities can also contribute to this cause.
Give at least more than 24 hours curing time on the sample to differentiate the
different results between 24hours curing time and more than 24hours curing time.
Used other tools on conducting a testing for a better and clear results.
