The paper analyzes the performance of polymer modified bitumen due to multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR). This phenomenon is of great importance when considering binder’s performance related to rutting resistance on high temperatures during exploitation period. The paper presents testing results of five polymer modified bitumen samples, obtained by two producers, tested under same temperature and stress levels. Finally, bitumen samples are classified under new MSCR specification, according to SUPERPAVE methodology.

The crumb rubber modified (CRM) binder was evaluated considering the general operating temperatures of high, intermediate, and low temperatures. CRM binders were produced with four different contents (0, 5, 10, and 15%) using the base asphalt binder (PG64-22). Then, they were artificially aged by a rolling thin-film oven (RTFO) and pressure aging vessel (PAV). Superpave binder tests using a rotational viscometer (RV), dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), and bending beam rheometer (BBR) was applied to characterize the performance of the original and aged binders. Multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) tests were also performed for deeper rutting characterization. The results of this study are as follows: (1) the presence of PR increases the binder viscosity, (2) the integration of CRM greatly improved the rutting resistance of the binder, and it was found that PR also improved the rutting characteristics, and (3) it is observed that PR is detrimental to the cracking properties of CRM binders.
