Resumen

As time goes by, several research studies have been carried out around a progressive and friendly advance with the ecosystem, put this in terms of construction, all infrastructure work has a significant impact on the environment; therefore, the human being to impart new studies that contribute to the development of society, and likewise, help mitigate any environmental impact generated by it. Today the need for mobility is more evident than before, which produces greater use of natural resources for the construction of roads and other elements that lead largely to the development of a nation. Therefore, in the area of pavements, several studies have been carried out to promote the use and exploitation of industrial waste as alternative materials for the manufacture of asphalt mixtures used in pavements, as well as their influence on the physical and rheological properties of asphalt. Therefore, the purpose of this document is to provide the reader with a comparative study of the physical and rheological properties between Asphalt Cement (CA) and one modified with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in a proportion of 5%, in order to establish the effects of the addition of this material called modifier agent on the properties of asphalt and traditional asphalt mix. As a result, the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating polyvinyl chloride as an alternative material in the design of asphalt mixtures commonly used in the pavement area as a wearing course.
