Now a day's infrastructure development plays a major role in the civilization. More over transportation facilities also required for the development. Majorly in developing countries like India it requires an economic way of transportation facilities. In general the roads affected to some problems like wear and tear, less durability and loosing strength due to water absorption. It causes damages to pavements and the fuel consumption to transport the things from one place to another place is more, the vehicle is also affected moreover. To reduce the problems occurring because of moisture absorption and temperature variations, we require the material to resist the damages on the road surface and to the base courses. For this the material called Zycotherm used to protect the surface of pavement from the characteristic of moisture absorption and temperature failures. By using this material we can easily reduce the failure of pavement against sunlight, heat, and ignition, source of spark, rain, and standing of water on surface. It reduces the surface tension of asphalt binder and reduces viscosity of binder. Using this Zycotherm can improves field compaction up to 90oC, eliminates odour & stripping, reduce stickiness and more over the basis of the thesis is to find out change in the physical properties of the bitumen by modifying it with different fillers. The types of fillers used in project are Stone dust, Lime, Brick powder, OPC & Fly ash.
