A reference SMA20 mixture was established with 0.30% commercial fibre and 6% asphalt. Subsequently, this fibre was replaced by textile fibre in the same proportions. It was found that 0.20% textile fibre optimally met the volumetric requirements and binder drainage tests. Performance tests showed that the textile fibre achieved a TSR of 95%, compared to 82% for the commercial fibre, and a rutting resistance of 2.82 mm compared to 2.46 mm for the commercial fibre. Additionally, the textile fibre demonstrated a better dynamic modulus at high temperatures. In conclusion, residual Peruvian cotton fibres can efficiently replace commercial fibres in SMA20 mixtures, with 0.20% being the optimal amount, thus promoting sustainable material reuse.pdfeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Waste textile fibresStone mastic asphaltAsphalt pavementHot mixesCellulose fibresMechanical propertiesWater sensitivityinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleCC BY (Autoría) Se autoriza la reproducción, distribución, adaptación, creación de obras derivadas, comunicación pública, en cualquier medio o formato siempre que se reconozca la autoría del autor o autora.//doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2024.139125
