Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB) is hydrocarbon binder obtained through physical and chemical interaction of crumb rubber (produced by recycling of used tyres) with bitumen and some specific additives. Crumb rubber gives the satisfactory results by using it in 15% or proportion to replace the bitumen for various tests of bitumen& bitumen mix.crumb rubber gives the Marshall Stability values od 1615.84 Kg by using 15% of CRMB use with bitumen mix,it is greater than the marshall stability value of conventional bitumen mix.
