Recently, applying of the waste materials as mineral filler in hot asphalt mixture has many advantage for economic and environmental impacts and also used to improve the hot asphalt mixtures characteristics. In this research, sugar industry waste materials has been used as mineral filler to investigate the achievable prospects to improve hot asphalt mixture properties. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of adding Sugar Waste (SW) materials on the properties of hot mix asphalt in comparison with the State Commission of Roads and Bridges (SCRB, R9) requirements. Two groups of hot asphalt mixtures have been prepared, the first was with the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) as mineral filler i.e. (control mixture) and the second was prepared with SW materials (modified mixtures). These mixtures have been assessed based on different experimental tests which were Marshall Stability and Flow, Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS), Index of Retained Strength (IRS) and Long Term Aging (LTA). The results indicate that there is an improvement in the mixture properties; slight increase in Marshall Stability, an improvement in Indirect Tensile Strength, enhanced their Marshall stability after aging when tested in accordance to LTA. Furthermore, the modified mixtures comply with (SCRB, R9).
