Full textAbstract:
In Buton Island, an island located in South-East Sulawesi Island in Indonesia is found about 700 million tons natural rock asphalt (NRA) which have not been maximally utilized yet. Buton-NRA contains 20 to 30% of bitumen. This paper reported the first part of the research on utilizing of Buton-NRA as additive of bitumen binder in hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures. Amount of 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 50, and 65% of very fine of Buton-NRA was added into the bitumen, resulted Buton-NRA-Bitumens binder. Penetration and softening point test was conducted to get penetration index (PI) value, an index to determine the temperature susceptibility of the binder. The results show that the Buton-NRA-Bitumens binder has low temperature susceptibility. Use as binder in HMA mixtures also shown that the Buton-NRA-Bitumens binder can improve the performance of the mixtures. Marshall Stability and stiffness of the mixtures is higher compare to that of base bitumen binder, especially Buton-NRA-Bitumens binder with 50% of Buton-NRA, Marshall Stability reach 2374kg and stiffness 311kg.mm, while HMA mixtures with base bitumen (0% Buton-NRA) only has 1294kg of Marshall stability and 169kg/mm of stiffness.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the phenomenon of fresh and RAP binders miscibility and presents test results of bitumen film properties from specially prepared asphalt mixtures. The miscibility of a fresh binder and a RAP binder still has not been fully recognised. The aim of this study was to determine the homogeneity level of the bitumen film based on viscoelastic assessment. In addition, an attempt was made to assess the impact of fresh binder on the binders blending degree. The study included assessment of homogeneity of bitumen film comprising various types of bituminous binders. The assessment was conducted on the basis of tests in the dynamic shear rheometer regarding rheological properties of the binders recovered from specific layers of the bitumen film using a staged extraction method. A complex shear modulus as a function of temperature, an elastic recovery R and a non-recoverable creep compliance modulus JNR from MSCR test were determined. The conducted statistical analyses confirmed the significant impact of the type of fresh binder on the blending degree. Regressive dependencies have been set between the differences of the complex shear modulus of the binders subject to mixing and differences of the complex shear modulus of binders from the internal and external layer of the bitumen film comprised of those binders. It was found that there is no full blending of fresh hard bitumen-simulated binder from RAP, which results in non-homogeneity of the bitumen film.

Full textAbstract:
The popularity of asphalt mixes on a polymer-bitumen binder is caused by the desire to ensure the operational reliability of road pavements due to the axle load of vehicle and the intensity of traffic. In addition, the use of an appropriate type of binder has become an important direction in ensuring the operational reliability of asphalt concrete pavements, suitable for the specific conditions of the region, marked with PG. The provision of required set of properties of the polymer-bitumen binder largely depends on the percentage of the polymer and on the type of plasticizer used. The article presents the results of comparative tests of polymer-bitumen binders with the use of six different plasticizing agents. The dependence of changes in the indicators of modified binders and their thermal stability is investigated. Recommendations are given to maintain the required level of physical and mechanical parameters of polymer-bitumen binder.

The paper presents the results of laboratory investigation on asphalt binders relaxation at low temperature, carried out in a ductilometer using the tensile test with continuous force measurement. Polymer modified asphalt binder samples consisting of a 50/70 penetration grade bitumen mixed with a concentrate of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified bitumen—a 160/220 penetration grade bitumen modified with a SBS copolymer in the amount of 9%—were tested. Therefore, polymer modified binders containing 3%, 4.5%, 6% and 7.5% SBS, respectively, were obtained and investigated. Tensile tests were performed at −16 °C on samples before aging and subjected to short-term aging (RTFOT). Test results in the form of relaxation curves have been mathematically described using a modified generalized Maxwell model. Based on the acquired results, it was shown that the increase of the SBS copolymer content in asphalt binder precipitates the relaxation process, while aging slows down this phenomenon. It has also been proven that with increased content of SBS elastomer in asphalt binder, the effect of short-term aging on binder’s stress relaxation ability at low temperatures is reduced.

Abstract The bitumen binders in road pavements are exposed traffic loading effect at different climatic conditions. A resistance to these stresses depends on bitumen properties as well. The paper presents rheological properties (G*, δ, ν*) determined and compared for four bituminous binders (unmodified and polymer modified bitumen) at temperature 46 – 60 (80) °C and dynamic viscosity at temperature 130 – 190 °C (Brookfield viscometer). On the basis of viscosity results it is possible to set optimal production and compaction temperatures. Elastic and viscous behavior of binder in the middle temperature is determined in rheometers. The higher value of complex modulus, the stiffer bitumen binder is able to resist deformation. The greater content of elastic components (e.g. polymer in bitumen) varies mainly elastic-viscous properties of primary bitumen.

In this study, the influence of some inorganic nanoparticles on the properties of bitumen binder was investigated. Three types of particles at nanometer level, calcium carbonate powder, graphite and carbon black, were introduced to modify bitumen respectively. The modified binders were prepared using a laboratory high-shear mixer. A dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) was adopted to characterize the properties of modified binders, including their rheological parameters and dynamic viscosity, over a certain range sweeps of temperatures, frequencies and shear rates. It was found that the addition of the nanoparticles increased the binder’s elasticity at low temperature which might negatively influence its resistance to crack. However the decrease of phase angle at high temperature might improve its deformation resistance. The shear rate dependence of dynamic viscosity for the binders depended on the type of nanoparticle. The research results indicated that the addition of nanoparticles to bitumen binder can change its physical properties to some extent and its potential should be researched further.

Polymer modified bitumens have tended to be the most popular among the various types of modified binders that are available worldwide. Polymer modification significantly alters the rheological characteristics of the binder, thereby requiring the use of fundamental rheological testing methods to provide an indication of the performance of the binder and subsequently the asphalt mixture. In this paper the characterization of bitumen modified with epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was done with four percentages of ENR content. The effects of the modifier on the conventional properties, storage stability and rheological properties were investigated. The results indicated that storage stability of ENR modified bitumens (ENRMB) were mainly dependent on the ENR content. ENR reduced the temperature susceptibility. The degree of the improvement generally increased with ENR content up to 9%.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents the results of tests of the impact of hydraulic and bituminous binders on the properties of the cold-recycled mixture (CRM). The composition of the cold-recycled mixture includes two types of different binders, i.e., bituminous binder in the form of foamed bitumen and bitumen emulsion, as well as Portland cement (CEM I 32.5R) and hydraulic binder. The hydraulic binder was produced by mixing three base ingredients in the following ratio: 40% CEM I 32.5R; 20% Ca(OH)2 and 40% CBD (cement bypass dust). The cold-recycled mixtures were produced under industrial conditions on a test section. The prepared CRM with bitumen emulsion (MCE) and foamed bitumen (MCAS) was collected from the test section and compacted under laboratory conditions. The impact of the type and kind of the binder was assessed in terms of physical properties, mechanical properties and deformation modulus (bearing capacity of subbase) of the recycled base course after 1, 7 and 28 days. It was found that the use of hydraulic binder in the recycled base course, regardless of the type of bituminous binder, reduced cohesion without reducing the remaining parameters.

Introduction. Pavement bitumen is one of general road construction materials that are used for pavement construction. The quality of bitumen binder regulates specific technical and operational characteristics of asphalt pavements and their durability Problem Statement. Nowadays in Ukraine only one refinery plant produces pavement bitumen. The volume of its production is not enough to completely satisfy the demands of Ukrainian road construction industry. Due this a lot of binders in Ukraine are imported from other countries. In recent years the highest volumes of bitumen was imported from Republic of Belarus and Poland. In 2020 the amount of road construction works was increased, particularly with pavement repairing and new pavement constructing. It resulted in increasing in need in pavement bitumen that led not only to the high volume of import bitumen but to an expansion of the list of importing counties. Purpose. The presented study is aimed on analysis of quality of bitumen imported in Ukraine from eight countries. For these binders their features are obtained and problem of their applicability and its advisability in Ukraine road industry is considered. Materials and methods. As a material of research bitumens produced in Azerbaijan, the Republic of Belarus, Greece, Spain, Italy, Poland, Turkey and Ukraine are chosen. The standard quality properties are obtained in accordance with the actual in Ukraine standards ДСТУ 4044 and ДСТУ EN 12591. Beside this the attention is paid to the finding of fundamental properties of these binders, such as adhesion, cohesion and viscosity. Results. With the experimental data it is found that all bitumens significantly differ in their structural type. It results in differences in softening point and breaking point temperatures at the equal penetration value (this difference is in the range from 4.5 °С for the closer values to 16.5 °С for the most distinct values). This fact can influence on asphalt pavement properties and durability. Besides such a difference in a temperature susceptibility of binders their adhesion and cohesion properties differ too. Bitumen that tends to sol type of structure is characterized with higher cohesion and viscosity values. This peculiarity must be taken into account in mixing and compaction operations for the asphalts with such bitumen. The temperatures of these operations must be higher than one for bitumen close to the gel type. The low temperature susceptibility and wide plasticity interval are the advantages of bitumen that tends to gel type of structure. Conclusions. All bitumens that are imported in Ukraine must be certificated with ДСТУ 4044:2019 national standard requirements. Also they must be tested with additional methods to validate the decision on their implementation in road construction industry and to specify the implementation area.

The paper describes research results of recycled base which was performedin a cold deep recycling technology with foamed bitumen and different type of hydraulicmixed binder in the aspect of water resistance. An individual design of a composition of abinder enables to achieve a precise adjustment of a binder’s impact to local conditions andrequired parameters of a recycled base. The design a recycled base with foamed bitumensimulated a cold deep recycling process with materials from existing crushed bituminouspavement layers ("technology in-situ"). To produce the foamed bitumen a road bitumen ofpenetration grade 50/70 was used. Moreover, the following mineral components werecategorised as a waste material: reclaimed asphalt pavement, 0/31,5 mm aggregate andaggregates for soil gradation improvement 0/4. A composition of the recycled base consisted of the binders prepared in the laboratory as a result of a mix of three basic components.The percentage of individual road binders was determined in line with the plan of thesimlex-centroid experiment. For the purpose of determining an influence of such a hydraulicroad binder on the water resistance in recycled base, the following tests were carried out:void contents Vm, tensile strength ratio TSR (water resistance). Additionally, an evaluationof increase of indirect tensile modulus (IT-CY) was conducted. On the basis of the testresults, a varied impacts of tested hydraulic road binders on mechanical properties andwater resistence of recycled base with foamed bitumen were observed. On the basis of theplan of the experiment, it was possible to determine the recommended road binder composition that enabled to obtain the water resistance in the recycled base with foamed bitumen

The requirements imposed on road pavements are ever increasing nowadays, necessitating the improvement of the properties of paving materials. The most commonly used paving materials include bituminous mixtures that are composed of aggregate grains bound by a bituminous binder. The properties of bitumens can be improved by modification with polymers. Among the copolymers used for modifying bitumens, styrene–butadiene–styrene, a thermoplastic elastomer, is the most commonly used. This article presents the results of tests conducted on bitumens modified with two types of styrene–butadiene–styrene copolymer (linear and radial). Two bitumen types of different penetration grades (35/50 and 160/220) were used in the experiments. The content of styrene–butadiene–styrene added to the bitumen varied between 1% and 6%. The results of the force ductility test showed that cohesion energy can be used for qualitative evaluation of the efficiency of modification of bitumen with styrene–butadiene–styrene copolymer. The determined values of the cohesion energy were subjected to the original analysis taking into account the three characteristic elongation zones of the tested binders. The performed analyses made it possible to find a parameter whose values correlate significantly with the content of styrene–butadiene–styrene copolymer in the modified bitumen. With smaller amounts of added modifier (approximately 2%), slightly better effects were obtained in the case of linear copolymer styrene–butadiene–styrene and for larger amounts of modifier (5–6%) radial copolymer styrene–butadiene–styrene was found to be more effective. This is confirmed by the changes in the binder structure, as indicated by the penetration index (PI).

This study explores the effects of foaming on three selected bituminous binders: 50/70 paving grade bitumen, 45/80-55 polymer modified bitumen and 45/80-80 HiMA binder. The first part of the investigations included the evaluation of the foaming performance in terms of foaming temperature and foaming water content with the utilization of desirability functions and based on the equality of maximum expansion ratio and bitumen foam half-life. The second part of the study investigated the effects of foaming on the chemical structure of the binders using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The results of the spectroscopic measurements permitted calculation of structural indices specific to functional groups associated with bitumen oxidation, as well as those indicative of elastomeric modification. The results have shown that the different types of bitumen exhibited different foaming characteristics, which was most evident in bitumen foam half-lives, with the HiMA binder performing the best. The spectrometric measurements did not show any significant effects of foaming on the chemical structure of the evaluated binders related to oxidative stress, neither were any major changes in the PmB-specific regions found.

In this study, the mechanical and physico-chemical properties of a new kind of modified bitumen are presented. The bituminous binders have been modified in order to understand the effect on the structural properties of several compounds such as a Polymer elastomer as Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR), Polymer thermoplastic polypropylene (PP) and a waste plastic (Waste PP). Laboratory tests have been focused on the characterization of bitumen modified with single product and their binary combinations compared with pristine binder as a reference. Characterization has been conducted by using conventional as well as advanced methods on bitumens. Fundamental rheological tests, based on dynamic shear rheometer in the temperature range from -30 °C to +160 °C have been performed and the structure of a bitumens and modified bitumens has been analysed by the mobility of the oily maltene by self-diffusion Pulsed field gradient spin-echo (PGSE) FT-NMR experiments.

Abstract: Bitumen is defined as a gelatinous viscid mixture of hydrocarbons attained naturally or as a residue from petroleum refinement which is used for pavement materialization and roofing. Bitumen is employed as a binder for flexible pavements throughout the globe. Though bitumen is non-hazardous under normal conditions but when heated it becomes toxic and has consequences of environmental degradation. Also, bitumen being a product of non-renewable source of energy i.e. petroleum will led to depletion of petroleum reserves. It is a key challenge in highway industry to scale back the dependence on fossil fuels & to recycle the highway waste. The asphalt industry is undoubtedly a sector that contains a sustainable environmental impact, one amongst the main component being binder, bitumen, which is produced from petroleum. Bitumen generation results in enormous amounts of carbon dioxide emission which causes hazardous environmental impact. This research work is about the employment of waste oils as the alternative binders. The waste oils employed are waste cooking and waste engine oil. These are studied and analyzed as a step towards sustainable environment. This project work will provide an alternative or modified binder as well as will serve with the better way for safe disposal of waste oils generated. Thus, this project is beneficial concerning both the environmental aspects of alternative binder and safe disposal of waste oils.

In this study, residue binders from low penetration grade bitumen emulsions were investigated on the basis of rheology and were compared to the neat bitumen binders of which they were produced. The recovery method proposed by EN 13074 (including both recovery and stabilization process at moderate temperatures) was selected to obtain the residue binders used in the analysis, and the corresponding neat binders were treated the same for comparison. The rheological properties of residue binder from low penetration grade bitumen emulsion were evaluated using Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR). During the curing process, three stages were divided, and master curves of complex modulus and phase angle were constructed to allow comparison of the residue binder over a large range of frequencies for each stage. The results showed that the complex modulus increases while the phase angle decreases with curing process for the residues, indicating a better performance in terms of elasticity and stiffness.

Full textAbstract:
The analysis of fatigue behavior of bituminous binders is a complex issue due to several time-temperature dependent phenomena which interact simultaneously, such as damage accumulation, viscoelasticity, thixotropy, and healing. The present research involves rheological measurements aimed at evaluating the fatigue behavior and compares the self-healing capability of two plain bitumen and a bio-binder obtained by partially replacing one of the plain bitumen with a renewable bio-oil. Healing potential was assessed by means of an experimental approach previously implemented for modified bitumen and bituminous mastic and based on the use of a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). The effects of some variables such as bitumen type, bio-oil addition, and aging on the healing potential of binders were taken into account. Results showed that the above-mentioned method for healing analysis is also suitable for conventional and bio-add binders. Outcomes of the experimental investigation highlight that fatigue and self-healing are mainly dependent on binder consistency and also affected by aging. Finally, the addition of bio-oil may induce even better performances in terms of healing potential compared to conventional bitumen, especially in aged condition.

Recycling of waste plastics (WP) denotes an effectual method to dispose the post-consumer products for possible alternative way to obtain new materials with good properties. With this aim the influences of WP and maleic anhydride (MA) grafted WPs (MA-g-WP) were investigated as the bitumen modifiers for paving applications. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis established the effective grafting of MA with the waste plastic (WP). Polymer modified bitumen (PMB) binders were analyzed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OP) in an effort to characterize the bitumen/modifier interphase morphology. The conventional rheological tests such as penetration test, softening point, and ductility results indicate that the degree of polymer modifications are function of the nature of modifier, bitumen–modifier compatibility, and modifier concentration. It has also been confirmed that the morphology observed by SEM and optical microscopy revealed the compatibility between MA-g-WP and bitumen, and the storage stability of binder was improved significantly compared with WP modified bitumen (WPMB) binders. Consequently, the use of grafted modifier with polar site can be considered as a suitable alternation for modification of binder in pavement by expecting their chances for better performance during service.

Recycling of bituminous mixes is extending worldwide with the aim of conserving natural resources and the environment. Rejuvenating agents are generally used in recycling processesin order to soften the aged binders in mixes. Cutback bitumens have been used in Iran mainly in preparing conventional cold mixes. However, the long term good performance of these cold mixes in various parts of the country has shown less hardening of these mixes, compared with conventional HMA mixes. In this research the application of a cutbackbitumen has been investigatedas a rejuvenating agent in mixes containing laboratory aged binders. A 60-70 penetration grade bitumen from Refinery of Tehran was aged under Thin Film Oven Testing (TFOT) conditions. Asphalt Concrete samples were prepared using TFOT aged and virgin binders. Additional samples were prepared using the aged binders together with various amounts of a slow curing SC-250 cutback bitumen from the above refinery. The compacted four inchdiameter samples were tested under static creep testing. The results showed promising effects of the cutback binder in rejuvenating the aged mixes. Based on the results of this study, a mix design criteria wasset for recycled mixes containing cutback bitumen as the rejuvenating agent.

Bitumen holds the aggregate in hot mix asphalt (HMA). Without asphalt binder, HMA would simply be crushed stone or gravel. A bitumen batching system (BBS) is comprised of bitumen storage, transportation, weighing and discharge equipment in an asphalt mixing plant (AMP). The function of the equipment is to batch the binder heated up to working temperature and to discharge it into a mixer in batches. In the entire system, the binder is exposed to high temperature and oxygen. Bitumen is slowly oxidized when it is in contact with oxygen. The degree of oxidation is highly dependent on temperature, time and thickness of a bitumen film. This article models the key factors influencing on the dynamics of bitumen oxidation in BBS equipment. Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) mixture was produced from the same materials according to the same job-mix formula (JMF) in neighbouring batch type AMP by changing the mixing time of materials from 20 to 60 s. Bitumen binder was separated from the taken SMA samples and its gradation was identified. Thus, Marshall specimens were produced and tested. Penetration Pen25 of bitumen binder recovered in rotary evaporator, softening point Tsp was determined and penetration index Ip was calculated. The presented findings of experimental investigation show that the properties of bitumen binder in BBS working at two different technologies changed inconsistently. Due to gravitation, the bitumen intensively flowing into a mixer (BBS1) is impacted by oxidation more than the bitumen batched by a high-pressure pump (BBS2).

The article presents the results of research on temperature sensitivity of ground rubber modified asphalt binders. The tests were performed for 50/70 penetration grade road bitumen and two kinds of granulated rubber: activated and inactivated. Such parameters of asphalt binders as: penetration, softening point, dynamic shear modulus and phase angle have been determined and on this basis the temperature susceptibility of the reference bitumen and asphalt binders modified by activated and inactivated rubber have been determined. All the tests were carried out for three observation levels: without aging and after aging simulations carried out by RTFOT and PAV methods. The tests revealed that addition of granulated rubber has a positive influence on asphalt binder properties, even after the aging process, causing an increase in the softening point and a decrease in penetration and the phase angle of asphalt binder. Asphalt binders obtained in result of modification by addition of rubber show smaller temperature susceptibility than the reference bitumen (without addition of rubber). Also, a positive impact of aging on the temperature susceptibility was observed for the investigated binders.

The use of viscosity temperature relationships to predict creep performance of road bitumens have been shown to be inadequate in particular with respect to the analysis of polymer modified binders. In this paper we explore the origins of the US Strategic Highway Research Programmebinder performance grading system and detail two examples of more recent developments towards improved creep characterisation.Starting from first principles, an equation to analyse the ratio of dissipated to stored energy during sinusoidal loading of viscoelastic bitumen was derived. The energy equation was contrasted with an empirical relationship proposed by Anderson D.A., and with a second more theoretical derivation proposed by Shenoy A.Using frequency sweep data from a conventional 40/50 pen grade bitumen and a proprietary SBS modified binder, the applicability of the energy equation was subsequently compared to the two aforementioned post-SHRP creep relations. Recommendations are made regarding the suitability of the proposed relations in ranking bitumen creep performance.

AbstractRoad paving recycling has been acquiring more relevance in society, especially within the paradigm of a circular economy. The addition of waste materials in asphalt mixtures is an excellent solution to face the gradual emergence of a great diversity of waste materials and reduce the production costs. This study aims to evaluate the addition of commercial and laboratory-produced polymer modified binders as rejuvenators in recycled asphalt mixtures with high contents of reclaimed asphalt pavement material (RAP). A commercial polymer modified binder (PMB) and a conventional bitumen modified with 5% of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) or 4% of Regefalt were added to RAP aged bitumen and compared with a rejuvenated binder. Fatigue, permanent deformation and water sensitivity tests carried out on recycled mixtures produced with those binders showed that polymer modified binders could be used as rejuvenators to improve their performance significantly. The recycled asphalt mixture produced with the commercial PMB presented the best mechanical performance. The polymer-modified binders revealed an ageing resistance equivalent to that of the control rejuvenated binder, or slightly better in the case of the final binder with SBS polymer.

Full textAbstract:
The process of water-based foaming of bitumen produces binders that can be incorporated in cold recycled asphalt mixes and pavement upper structural layers made of half-warm mix asphalt prepared at 100–130 °C. During the foaming process, cold water and air act on hot bitumen (160–170 °C), which results in the explosive vaporization of water leading to changes in the binder structure. The impact of foaming on the properties of bitumen 70/100 was evaluated by investigating the binder characteristics before and after foaming. Determination of two foaming parameters, maximum expansion and half-life, was followed by measurements of penetration at 25 °C, softening point, Fraass breaking point, and dynamic viscosity at 60, 90, and 135 °C. Rheological and low-temperature tests were also performed before and after foaming bitumen 70/100. The Bending Beam Rheometer method was applied to determine the low temperature stiffness modulus. A DHR-2 rheometer was used to determine the dynamic modulus and phase angle of the tested binder. The Black and master curves before and after foaming were plotted in the 2S2P1D model and the model parameters were analysed. Analysis of the test results confirmed the effects of the foaming process on the basic, low-temperature, and rheological characteristics of the bitumen.

The work presents results of the experimental study of dynamic compression of various modifications of bitumen: bitumen 40/60, polymer-bitumen binder and rubber bitumen. The tests were carried out using the Kolsky method. The tests were conducted for the sample temperature of-15 and 20 °C. It is shown that polymer modifier and rubber additives have a significant influence on the carrying capacity of the bitumen samples at slow loading, but they do not provide significant advantages in the dynamic tests. Strain rate dependence of maximum compressive stress was obtained for the bitumens. It is shown that this dependence can be predicted by the incubation time criterion. The values of the quasi-static and dynamic strength, characterizing the carrying capacity of bitumen at slow and fast loading, are defined.

Full textAbstract:
Polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) is bitumen that has been specifically engineered with polymer for providing enhanced performance in service. The aging of bitumen is a main aspect that is able to affect its final performance: during the production phase in a hot mix plant, all the binders experience short-term aging due to the high processing temperature. The same is true during the production of the modified binder, when the polymer is dispersed at high temperature in the bitumen mass. This paper aims at studying the effect of short-term aging when using different types of modifiers such as recycled polymers obtained from waste materials. A 50/70 penetration-grade bitumen has been modified, and bitumen characterization has been carried out before and after short-term aging; conventional tests, viscosity measurements, and dynamical mechanical analysis have been used to investigate the properties. Different aging indices have been determined for predicting the effect of short-term aging based on the type of modifier. Furthermore, the morphology of the modified bitumen has been investigated via fluorescent microscopy, before and after aging, in order to highlight morphological changes due to aging. The results confirm that aging affects all the modified binders, due to the thermal stress imposed during PMBs production. Nevertheless, polymer modification is proved to reduce the aging effect in terms of an increase in the elastic modulus as experienced by the original binder.

Polymer modified binders have been used for long time to improve the quality of asphalt pavement. This study investigates the effect of crumb rubber and latex on the properties of bitumen binders. Crumb rubber and latex were added to the control 60/70 pen grade bitumen. Four different proportions of crumb rubber and latex were considered in this study: 0%, 4%, 6% and 8% by weight of bitumen binder. The effect of crumb rubber and latex were evaluated through standard penetration and softening point tests as well as dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) test. Temperature ranges of 20°C - 40°C were used for the DSR rheological testing. The results showed that the addition of crumb rubber and latex leads to a promising improvement on the binder properties. A reduction in penetration and an increase in softening point temperature were observed with the addition of either crumb rubber or latex, this indicates improvement in stiffness and rutting resistance. The analysis on DSR results also show that the modified binders have good rutting resistance.

Full textAbstract:
Conventional binders cannot meet the current performance requirements of asphaltic pavements due to increase in traffic volumes and loads. Nanomaterials, due to their exceptional mechanical properties, are gaining popularity as bitumen modifiers to enhance the performance properties of the asphaltic concrete. Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most widely used nanomaterials because of their strength properties, light weight, small size, and large surface area. CNT addition results in improved substrate characteristics as compared to other modifiers. Due to high length to diameter ratio, dispersion of CNTs in bitumen is a complex phenomenon. In this study, dispersion of CNTs in bitumen was carried out using both dry and wet mixing techniques, the latter was selected on the basis of homogeneity of the resultant asphalt mixture. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to check the dispersion of CNTs in binder while Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was carried out to ensure the removal of solvent used for wet mixing. Conventional bitumen tests (penetration, softening point, and ductility), dynamic shear rheometer tests, rolling bottle tests, and bitumen bond strength tests were employed to check the improvement in the rheological and adhesion properties of bitumen while wheel tracker test was used to check the improvement in resistance against permanent deformation of asphalt mixtures after addition of CNTs. Results show that CNTs improved the higher temperature performance and permanent deformation resistance in both binder and mixtures. Improvement in bitumen–aggregate adhesion properties and moisture resistance was also observed.

Full textAbstract:
Lignocellulosic biomass has gained increasing attention as a performance modifier for bituminous material due to the vast amount available, its low cost and its potential to improve the durability of pavement. However, a comprehensive study concerning both the binder and mixture performance of modified bituminous material with lignocellulose is still limited. This research aims to evaluate the feasibility of applying lignocellulose as bitumen modifier by rheological, chemical and mechanical tests. To this end, two lignocellulosic biomass modified bituminous binders and corresponding mixtures were prepared and tested. The chemical characterization revealed the interaction between lignocellulosic biomass and bitumen fractions. Rheological test results have shown that lignocellulosic modifiers improve the overall performance of bituminous binder at high, intermediate and low temperatures. The findings obtained by mixture mechanical tests were identical to the binder test results, proving the positive effect of lignocellulosic biomass on overall paving performance of bituminous materials. Although lignocellulosic modifier slightly deteriorates the bitumen workability, the modified bitumen still meets the viscosity requirements mentioned in Superpave specification. This paper suggests that lignocellulosic biomass is a promising modifier for bituminous materials with both engineering and economic merits. Future study will focus on field validation and life cycle assessment of bituminous pavement with lignocellulosic biomass.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, the growing energy costs and pressing worldwide demand for petroleum-based products create a strong need to develop alternative binders deriving from green and renewable sources. Bio-binders (or bitumen added to bio-based materials) can potentially be a viable alternative for the production of bituminous mixture, promoting the circular economy as well as environmental sustainability principles without reducing the overall performance of the mixture. In this context, the current study focuses on evaluation of the effects of a bio-binder on the mechanical response of asphalt concrete (AC) produced with it. In particular, a 10% bio-oil deriving from a by-product of the paper industry has been blended with a conventional 50/70 penetration grade bitumen to obtain the bio-binder. Moreover, plain bitumen having the same consistency was chosen to produce a reference AC. Two dense-graded AC wearing courses were prepared in the laboratory according to Italian technical specifications. A mechanical characterization in terms of indirect tensile strength, indirect tensile stiffness modulus, fatigue response and permanent deformation resistance was performed on gyratory compacted specimens using both conventional and performance tests. In addition, aging and water sensitivity of the AC specimens were evaluated. Overall results highlight that the AC produced with the bio-binder did not show reduced mechanical properties and it was comparable to the reference AC regardless of aging and water conditioning. This highly encourages the use of bio-binder as a viable alternative in asphalt technology.

The development of non‐black asphalt mixtures for surface courses may play a significant role to improve functional, aesthetic and environmental issues of road pavements. Nowadays, the development of clear binders as substitutes for traditional bitumen in asphalt mixtures, which combine durability and mechanical properties, exalting the color of pavements for a better integration of road networks in urban and environmentally sensitive areas, is undoubtedly a timing challenge. However, the selection and classification of clear binders are often based only on color and standard requirements referred to traditional bitumen that do not describe consistently the binder behavior. A better understanding on clear binder properties is required to guide the aggregate selection and the mix design for surface layer, merging safety, aesthetical and environmental benefits into long lasting pavement. This paper presents a comprehensive experimental program, including empirical tests, infrared spectrum analysis, and rheological testing over a wide range of temperature and frequency, to determine the overall mechanical behavior of three clear binders. Results highlighted that the selected clear binders differ from traditional bitumen in terms of mechanical behavior. Different composition or origin can induce to completely different performance. Moreover, the combination of several testing procedures allowed suggesting specific application methods and uses for the three clear binders.

Asphalt mixtures often fail due to poor interaction between mineral aggregate and bituminous binder. Therefore, many efforts are being made on adhesion improvement between the two materials. In this work, paving grade bitumen 50/70 was doped with two types of adhesion promoters. Asphalt mixtures composed of crushed aggregate Brant coated by binder were made and exposed to stripping water. Then, they were subjected to visual and digital image analysis aiming to quantify aggregate residual bitumen-coated areas. Besides, two cylindrical samples of aggregate were bonded together by a thin film of bitumen doped with adhesion promoters. After solidification of binder, force needed for separation of the two parts was measured. It was shown that residual bitumen-coated areas were increased by 20-30% by adding adhesion promoters into binder. Mechanical adhesion of thus modified binder to aggregate was increased by up to twice.

Two bituminous binders were used in this research to investigate the influence of high-temperature volatilization on the binder performance. The results indicated that at higher temperature, the weight of bituminous binder reduced and the reducing rate was decreasing with heating time. After certain volatilization period, the softening points of bituminous binder increased while the penetration reduced significantly. The volatilization condition of oxygen and vacuum did not have significant differences on the asphaltene and colloid. The bitumen binder modified with 3% of Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) would reduce the amount of VOC fumes.

Full textAbstract:
Aiming to gain knowledge in the epoxy-bitumen modification mechanisms, this work explores the effects that epoxy concentration and ambient curing exert on the physico-chemistry and thermo-rheological properties of epoxy-modified binders. Process rheokinetics of epoxy-bitumen blends indicates that binder short-term modification (i.e., during processing) is accelerated by epoxy concentration. Furthermore, a synergistic effect of epoxy concentration and ambient curing is found during long-term modification (i.e., during curing at ambient conditions). As a result, viscous and viscoelastic rheological properties of binders are enhanced at medium/high in-service temperatures, at least, after one month of curing. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy) tests and SARAs (Saturates, Aromatics, Resins and Asphaltenes) analysis confirm the existence of esterification/etherification reactions between epoxy oxirane groups and the carbonyl groups available in aromatic and resin molecules. Thus, the new high molecular weight compounds increase the asphaltenic fraction of modified bitumen. Likewise, nonreversing heat flow curves obtained by modulated calorimetry corroborate the formation of such highly structured domains responsible for the final binder performance.

The use of polymer-modified binders in asphalt mixtures has become more widespread due to their reduced thermal susceptibility and improved rutting and fatigue resistance. Nevertheless, their high cost limits their application, thus making the use of reclaimed polymers (RP) an interesting alternative for both reducing price and extending the service life of pavements. This paper; therefore, presents a comparative review of the recycled polymers most commonly studied as bitumen modifiers: polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), and ground tire rubber (GTR), in order to facilitate their selection and extend the use of the bitumen. The differences in terms of melting point, mixing conditions, and maximum quantity of added polymer are analyzed. Moreover, their effect on the mechanical behavior of the asphalt binders and their stability with and without the use of additives is presented. According to the literature revision, the performance of the new binder is more influenced by the kind of polymer that was incorporated and the mixing conditions than by the base bitumen that was chosen, although rheological evaluation is needed to fully understand the modification mechanisms of the modified binder. In general terms, plastomers have a stronger effect in terms of increasing the stiffness of the bitumen in comparison with crumb rubber (elastomers), thus providing an improved rutting resistance. The joint use of polyethylene (plastomer) and crumb rubber (elastomer) can be an interesting option for its recycling potential and mechanical performance, although further study is needed to achieve stable bitumen across the entire range of temperatures; additives, such as maleic anhydride (MA), are commonly employed to improve the stability of the binder and enhance its characteristics, but their use could limit the economic benefits of using recycled materials.

The relevance of this paper is based on the increasingly larger volumes of reconstruction of buildings and structures and also with the opportunity to use polymer-bitumen binder based multifunctional materials for construction and installation purposes during such works as sealing cracks and hollows in structural elements. The paper provides a summary analysis of the current situation with the use of composite materials to increase the load-bearing capacity of certain structural elements. It discusses the methods for achieving multi-functionality of materials with the use of polymer-bitumen binders. It further details the procedure for the experimental studies conducted to test several composite materials introduced in a liquid polymer-bitumen mass and applied onto an adhesive polymer-bitumen tape, including the following components: graphite powder, graphite grease, cement and a mixture of graphite powder and cement. When assessing the adhesion characteristics of the samples tested, it was found that the best performance was demonstrated by the following composite materials: polymer-bitumen tape with graphite powder and a mixture of graphite powder and cement. Their adhesion characteristics were shown to be relatively equivalent by using the following two testing methods: the tear-off method with a three day holding period, and the instant adhesion measuring method. However, composite materials with a liquid polymer-bitumen basis failed to produce the desirable results. The authors are of the view that in this case the given adhesion power parameters can be achieved through changing the structure of the materials.

The present research was aimed to develop the scientific applied principles and technologies of composite bituminous materials for civil engineering based on the investigation of the structures of polymer modifier and bitumen-polymer binder (BPB) on its basis with the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The method of pulsed NMR was chosen as one of the rapid analysis methods that can be used for the analysis of bitumen-polymer systems, especially when assessing the group chemical composition of residual oil feedstock (ROF), bitumens and composite materials based on them. Using the method of pulsed NMR the regularities of the impact of modifier component composition on the changes of structural-group composition of the original and modified products were specified. Based on the results of research the optimal ratio of bitumen-polymer binder components was investigated, the manufacturability of the process for obtaining of composite bituminous materials for civil engineering with the aim of optimizing the quality of the final products was evaluated. Pulsed NMR - spectroscopy is suggested as input and output quality control of bituminous products. The regularities of redistribution of the phases with different molecular mobility and their relationship with the binder components were investigated. Rapid technique for quantifying the content of polymer in the solvent was developed.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ageing on bitumen, before and after modification. Nano-clay modified bitumen (NCMB) was produced by adding nano-clay (NC) to 60/70 penetration grade bitumen; then, the binder was tested using conventional tests for properties such as penetration, softening point and viscosity. These tests were carried out on the modified binder before and after ageing. A rolling thin film oven (RTFO) was used to simulate short-term ageing (STA), and a pressure ageing vessel (PAV) was used to simulate long-term ageing (LTA) for the modified binder. After initial results showed an improvement for the modified bitumen regarding the effect of ageing, the investigation continued using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), where the microstructure distribution of the modified binder before and after ageing was observed. Finally, there was no doubt that the effect of ageing on mixtures should be investigated. For this step, the indirect tensile strength (ITS) test, which highlights the strength changes that occur for the mixtures after ageing, was selected. The results indicated that the tensile strength of mixtures made with modified bitumen showed better resistance against ageing when NC was added, which is in good agreement with the results of previous binder tests. The results of this study show that the modification of bitumen using nano-clay as an additive improves the ageing resistance of the binder, which is consequently reflected in the strength of the asphalt mixture.

The article addresses the issues of structure formation of road composite materials containing hydraulic (рortland cement) and organic (bitumen) binders. It has been determined that organic and hydraulic binders, being thermodynamically incompatible, are capable of interaction and complement each other. Structure formation processes are associated with interphase transition layers interaction mechanism and the direct formation of phase contacts with cement crystallohydrates. The interphase boundary is diffuse and is established through interphase transition layers. The emergence of interfacial layers is thermodynamically advantageous, since it contributes to a decrease in Gibbs free energy and does not contradict modern concepts of solid state physics. It was established that with cement content of about 30 % of complex bitumen-cement binder volume, there will appear (nucleate) phase contacts that will prevail in the binder structure when the cement content is more than 60 %. In the case phase contacts prevail, concrete will demonstrate significant strength at high temperatures, but low temperature and fatigue crack resistance, which will lead to their durability loss. The cement content of 30–40 % of the total complex binder can be considered optimal.

In between thermal-oxidative (heat and oxygen) and photo-oxidative (ultraviolet irradiation and oxygen) aging process of bitumen, photo-oxidative aging mainly depends on the optical properties of the asphalt binder. The higher the reflection (or the lower the absorption of the binders), the better the pavement serviceability. The literature review indicates that there is limited research conducted on the optical properties of the binder with wax additives. In this paper, the optical properties of commonly used binders (PG 64-22, Rubber modified binder, and SBS modified binder) containing wax additives (LEADCAP and Sasobit) were investigated using UV-Vis spectrometer. The result of this study showed that (1) the addition of modifiers (crumb rubber and SBS) with the base binder slightly increases the absorption of the binder; (2) the binder types and aging level have significant contribution on optical properties; (3) in general, the aged binders were observed to have higher reflectivity compared to the unaged binders; and (4) the addition of wax additives is observed to have a significant effect on the optical properties.

Abstract The reduction in asphalt mixture production and placement temperatures can be achieved by modifying bitumen 35/50 with the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax. To identify the role this modifier plays in the bitumen 35/50, a series of tests has been performed. The experiment was carried out for wax doses from 1.5% to 4.0%. Analysis of the modified binder properties such as ductility at 5, 15 and 25◦C, complex modulus G* with the parameter G*/sinx and LSV, susceptibility according to MSCR procedure, morphology and group type analysis helped describe the structuring function of the F-T wax in the binder. The optimum F-T wax content of 2.5% has been identified to provide the desired parameters required for modified binders.

Bituminous binder modification has been acknowledged as one of the methods to improve asphalt pavement quality. This study is focussing on investigating the effect of Portland cement and hydrated lime on asphalt pavement of which different percentages (4%, 6% and 8% by weight of bitumen binder) were added to the control 60/70 pen grade bitumen. The effect of the two additives were evaluated through penetration, softening point and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) tests. Temperature ranges of 20°C - 40°C were used for the DSR rheological testing. The results showed that addition of both hydrated lime and Portland cement had a significant influence on the binder properties. A reduction in penetration and increase in softening point temperature were observed with increase in additive content, this indicates improvement in stiffness and rutting resistance. Also, the DSR rheological analysis shows that the modified binders have higher rutting resistance.

The mandatory requirement for creating high-quality asphalt concrete is the modification of the bituminous binder. Either polymers, typically SBS, or crushed vulcanizates are usually used as modifiers. Using the polymer modifier has a number of disadvantages: the poor compatibility of polymers with bitumen, the stratification of the modified binder during transportation and storage, the coalescence of the dispersed phase particles at the coating laying temperatures. The use of crushed vulcanizate as a modifier is limited due to the complexity of obtaining a particle with a micro-size and complex surface organization. By now a binary mixed powder "Polyepor-RP" based on rubber crumb and butadiene-styrene thermoplastic elastomer has been developed and obtained. It combines the advantages of both types of initial constituents and eliminates their shortcomings. The hybrid modifier is obtained by the method of high-temperature shear grinding. In addition, thanks to the use of modern rotary dispersants, the resulting hybrid modifier can be introduced into the asphalt mixture by uniformly loading it into the mixer at the closing stage of mixing, bypassing the long and energy-consuming stage of preparing the modified bituminous binder. The paper describes the comparative analysis of the rheological properties of four types of asphalt binders in accordance with the American testing system "SuperРave": unmodified bitumen of BND 60/90 grade; polymer-bitumen binder; bitumen modified with active rubber powder brand "Polyepor-A" and active binary powder brand "Polyepor-RP". It is established that the introduction of modifiers "Polyepor-A" and "Polyepor-RP" increases the resistance of asphalt pavement to the formation of ruts and increases the resistance to fatigue cracking. The introduction of the butadiene-styrene thermoplastic elastomer into bitumen has a positive effect only on the resistance to rutting. Using a hybrid modifier it is possible to obtain a rubberpolymer binder characterized by higher stability, resistant to delamination and phase separation, which will increase the durability of coatings

The adsorbent coated exchangers are the main part of adsorption refrigeration systems. Although coated exchangers are commercially available, the coating technique and the binder used are seldom revealed and left as a challenge for researchers. Dip-coating is the most commonly used coating technique. However, the variety of binders used indicates that choosing the appropriate binder is still a matter of trial-and-error. A series of experiments were performed to introduce acrylic latex emulsion (ALE) and bitumen emulsion as the new binder for coating silica-gel powder on aluminum. The results indicate coats created by both emulsion binders are stable but the bitumen emulsion keeps its stability for about 10[Formula: see text]min after mixing with water and silica-gel powder. The effect of ALE binder and water concentrations on water vapor equilibrium and desorption kinetics was investigated. The outcomes indicated that the sample containing 0.8[Formula: see text]g water/g silica-gel, 0.08[Formula: see text]g ALE binder/g silica-gel shows the fastest desorption kinetic and the minimum capacity loss. The mechanical stability of this sample was evaluated by the shear test and the pull-off test. The measured values show that the prepared laminate withstands up to 27[Formula: see text]N/cm2 shear stress and 18[Formula: see text]N/cm2 tensile stress.

Abstract Study of feasible usage of waste plastic in addition with Nitrile butadiene rubber to enhance the engineering and rheological properties of bitumen binder. Rheological properties impact the performance and service life of bitumen greatly. Different percentages of Nitrile butadiene rubber were introduced as an additive in base bitumen binder along with Low density polyethylene. Nanoclay was used as compatibility agent. Waste plastic percentage was restricted to 3% where as NBR was used by 14 % by weight of bitumen. The nano-composite yielded softening value increased by 34% and recovery percentage was improved by 7.3 %.

The reutilization of waste generated by industrial processes has become a majorenvironmental objective in scientific and technical research. In the construction sector, there is a broad range of techniques for the exploitation of different types of waste, which can then be used as a replacement for raw materials. This paper presents the results of a study of vinasse, a by-product of biomass ethanol, andanalyzes its viability as a bitumen modifier in asphalt mixes. For this purpose, four AC-16S asphalt mixes were evaluated for moisture sensitivity, plastic deformation, stiffness, and fatigue. The mix formulas were the following: (Mix 1) 50/70 bitumen; (Mix 2) 50/70 bitumen modified with 10% vinasse; (Mix 3) rubber bitumen; (Mix 4) rubber bitumen modified with 10% vinasse. The results of this study showed that bitumen modified with vinasse improved the mechanical performance of the AC-16S mix and also contributed to the valorization of vinasse waste.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental pollution caused by abundant wastes from agricultural activities has increased in recent years because of increased productivity. Agricultural waste recycling has been employed to solve this problem. Coconut shell charcoal (CSC) ash is a by-product of coconut shell (CS) used as a bitumen modifier to enhance the properties of the binder. This study investigated the effect of fineness charcoal ash from CS on the rheological properties of bitumen. Penetration, softening point, and viscosity tests were performed to determine the properties of the binder. Laboratory simulation of aging called rolling thin film oven test was applied in this study. CSC at different sizes (< 75μm, 75–150μm, and 150–300μm) was added to replace bitumen 60/70 PEN at 0%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by weight of the binder, respectively. Result showed that the bitumen became more viscous and that the softening point of bitumen increased, whereas the rate of penetration decreased when CSC was incorporated. CSC at a proper amount improved the resistance of bitumen to temperature susceptibility. In addition, the modification of bitumen can relieve the effect of aging. Modified bitumen shows better result when incorporated with the finest particle (< 75μm) of CSC compared with other sizes.

Full textAbstract:
The only type of conventional bitumen (PG 64-10) available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) does not meet the temperature requirements of most of the kingdom’s regions. Hence, the binder needs to be modified to improve the performance of flexible pavements at high temperature and heavy traffic loading. In order to meet the requirements of the Superpave Performance Grade (PG), crumb rubber (CR), epolene (EE-2), and date palm ash (DPA) were used as asphalt additives in different percentages (4%, 8%, 12%, and 16% by weight of bitumen). Viscosity and rheological tests as well as stability and indirect tensile tests were performed on binders and asphalt mixtures. The binders modified with CR, EE-2, and DPA showed improved rheological and performance properties as compared to conventional binder. Similarly, the PG of conventional asphalt was upgraded with the addition of different percentages of the modifiers. Furthermore, this study also aimed to help the environment by minimizing and recycling wastes in road construction processes to achieve sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
The present study shows an investigation on improvement of bituminous binder and its mixes using modified binders with different percentage (1% to 7%) of domestic waste polyethylene (PE).The temperature susceptibility and penetration index (PI) of the modified binders were calculated. It is observed that PI value of modified binder is found higher than unmodified binder. The strength characteristics in terms of Marshall Stability and moisture susceptibility expressed in terms of indirect tensile strength ratio (ITSR) of bituminous concrete were determined in the present study. Marshall stability of the bituminous mixture containing 3% PE increased by 34.2% as compare to mixture containing unmodified binder. The addition of 3% PE to neat bitumen, results in an increase of 20% in indirect tensile strength ratio. Using PE modified binder in bituminous concrete mixes increases stability, indirect tensile strength which turn in provide better resistance against permanent deformation.
