The propose of this research was to determine the rutting effect in the proprieties of asphalt mixture, by inserting wasted tires as a substitution of granular material. The study started with a description of the properties of granular material, asphalt and wasted tires, followed by the result of the ideal percentage obtained in the Marshall test. It concluded with the Marshall Tests performace and the rutting adding wasted tires as a substitute of granular material. Waste tires were introduced in three different geometrical shapes; one of them, powder, the second one fibers of 1.5 centimeters long and the last one, a combination of powder and fibers. The results obtained showed that deformation decreased by 13% when using wasted tires powder and by 23% when using tire fibers.
