Pavement materials are crucial factors affecting pavement durability. Now-adays, there is dire necessity for roads which are more stable and stronger. Due to weathering conditions and heavy traffic, the pavement surfaces are getting deteriorated by rutting, pot holes etc. Among them asphalt is the most sustainable pavement material for construction pavements and can be used for many applications including highways, airport runways, parking lots and drive ways. In order to provide effective durability than that of asphalt, in its original form it has been modified using Nano-materials known as modified asphalt. This research will deal with the advances in Nano-materials in hot mix asphalt and also addition of recronfibre and the comparison was made. With the addition of this Recronfibre, there is an improvement in the properties of bitumen like increase in stability value and decrease in the flow value, % of air voids etc. Recronfibre is an artificial material obtained from the polyester and which is also used as a secondary reinforcement for attaining tensile strength. It helps to resist the cracks obtained by the improper laying of pavement surface and heavy loaded vehicles. But whereas, the clay Nano-particles are the primary materials applying in asphalt construction adding Nano- particles like Nano clay, Nano silica and nanotubes in asphalts normally increase the viscosity of asphalt binders and improves the rutting and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. From this the performance of asphalt when treated with Nano-particles and its sustainability compared to that of other pavement materials is examined and studied.
