Samples were made to determine the differences between a mixture of conventional asphalt and modified asphalt samples with different percentages of recycled rubber tire fibers and different fiber sizes. In total, 60 briquettes were made between conventional and modified, which were tested and compared in the laboratory. Fifteen sample briquettes of conventional asphalt mixtures were prepared with different percentages of asphalt cement from 5% to 7% of the total of the mixture. The other 15 briquettes were made with different dosage, replacing 1% of the asphalt cement with recycled rubber fibers, the third samples are made by partially replacing the asphaltic cement with 1.5% recycled rubber and finally the fourth briquettes were made in the same way Replacing asphalt cement with 2% recycled rubber. After the briquettes were tested and their results compared to determine the changes in the properties of the asphalt mixtures, the results of the briquettes tested revealed an improvement in the properties of the modified asphalt mixtures.
