ABSTRACT
The present work discusses the combined effect of High Density Polyethylene Homo polymer and Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene on properties of Viscosity Grade 30 asphalt commonly used in India. Six blends of binders were prepared using varying percentages of both polymers and were evaluated for rheological properties. Use of both polymers leads to higher viscosity, while blending with HDPH polymer only leads to marginal increase in viscosity when compared to unmodified binder. Comparison of dynamic modulus and phase angle master curves indicated, significant differences were found among master curves obtained with different aging conditions when compared to unaged condition especially at lower reduced frequencies.
