Incorporation of Jute Fiber in Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA): Advancements in Sustainable Pavement Engineering

Growing demand for green infrastructure has led to the research of green materials for road construction. This review paper discusses the use of jute fiber in Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA), a green substitute for traditional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). Jute fiber, a renewable and biodegradable material, has several mechanical and environmental advantages when used in WMA. This paper discusses the improvement of mechanical performance, durability benefit, and ecological impact of utilizing jute fiber as a material in asphalt mixtures. It also presents the constraints and issues encountered in applying jute in WMA and suggests potential future research directions to enhance its use in the construction industry. The findings suggest that jute fiber-reinforced WMA has the potential to contribute to improved pavement performance and environmental sustainability, providing a fascinating option for green road construction.
