Asphalt polymer has superior characteristics than conventional asphalt. Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) is a polymer that has proven its performance in heavy traffic, but it must be imported and expensive. Crumb rubber have high potential to be used as an asphalt modifier. Asphalt modified crumb rubber has high viscosity and is not homogeneous, so that the utilization cannot be delayed. This reduces workability in the field. This study aims to obtain asphalt modified crumb rubber which is easier to use by adding materials that do not affect its performance. RejIRE is a low viscosity additive to restore the properties of bitumen on crumb rubber modified. Experiments were carried out by adding variations in RejIRE levels to crumb rubber modified asphalt to determine its characteristics. Continued investigation of the performance of hot paved mixtures for wearing courses compared to asphalt mixtures with Pen 60/70 asphalt and SBS modified asphalt mixtures. The result is the addition of 0.75% RejIRE on asphalt crumb rubber modification have high workability. Overall the performance of the mix with SBS modified asphalt is better, but the mixture of hot paved with modified asphalt crumb rubber has a resistance to permanent deformation superior to the other paved mixtures.

Montmorillonite/SBS composite modifed asphalts were prepared by mixing montmorillonite with SBS-modified asphalt, further the corresponding asphalt mixtures were obtained. The paving technical indexes of the mixture such as physical properties, moisture suscepyibility, and high temperature stability were tested, and compared with that of the corresponding SBS-modifed asphalt mixture and base asphalt mixture. The results demonstrate that the montmorillonite/SBS composite modifed asphalt mixture exhibites enhanced stability, improved flow value and moisture susceptibility, and increased high temperature stability.

The objectives of this paper are to use Direct Coal Liquefaction Residue (DLCR) to modify the asphalt binders and mixtures and to evaluate the performance of modified asphalt mixtures. The dynamic modulus and phase angle of DCLR and DCLR-composite modified asphalt mixture were analyzed, and the viscoelastic properties of these modified asphalt mixtures were compared to the base asphalt binder SK-90 and Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) modified asphalt mixtures. The master curves of the asphalt mixtures were shown, and dynamic and viscoelastic behaviors of asphalt mixtures were described using the Christensen-Anderson-Marasteanu (CAM) model. The test results show that the dynamic moduli of DCLR and DCLR-composite asphalt mixtures are higher than those of the SK-90 and SBS modified asphalt mixtures. Based on the viscoelastic parameters of CAM models of the asphalt mixtures, the high- and low-temperature performance of DLCR and DCLR-composite modified asphalt mixtures are obviously better than the SK-90 and SBS modified asphalt mixtures. In addition, the DCLR and DCLR-composite modified asphalt mixtures are more insensitive to the frequency compared to SK-90 and SBS modified asphalt mixtures.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the anti-aging durability of asphalt and asphalt mixture under the conditions of inherent and improved performance. The research contents include: the mechanical properties (dynamic stability, bending strain, freeze-thaw splitting tensile strength ratio (TSR)) of different modified asphalt mixtures were tested by using the best modified asphalt.Design/methodology/approachThe anti-aging durability of different modified asphalt was analyzed by using the results of macro tests such as penetration and softening point as evaluation indexes. Meanwhile, the change of the asphalt colloid instability index (Ic) in the aging process was used as the evaluation index to verify the results of the macroscopic test, and the best modified asphalt was obtained. On this basis, the composition of different modified asphalt mixtures was designed by using the best modified asphalt. Meanwhile, water stability was used as evaluation indexes to study the anti-aging durability of different modified asphalt mixtures.FindingsThe results show that styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt has better aging resistance. Due to the special storage time, the performance of rubber asphalt is also the best. Meanwhile, in terms of modified asphalt mixture, its high temperature performance and durability of anti-aging is as follows: 4% SBS /16% rubber modified asphalt mixture (IV) > 4% SBS modified asphalt mixture (II) > asphalt mixture (90#) (I) > 16% rubber modified asphalt mixture (III). The low temperature performance and durability of anti-aging is as follows: Ⅱ > IV > Ⅰ > Ⅲ. The water stability performance and durability of anti-aging is as follows: IV > Ⅲ > Ⅱ > Ⅰ.Originality/valueThe research results have important theoretical and guiding significance for exploring the change of intrinsic properties and improved properties of asphalt and asphalt mixture in the aging process and revealing the anti-aging mechanism of different modified asphalt mixtures.

Abundance, affordability, and also the usability of sulfur as a part of the binder are the main reasons for using this additive in asphalt mixtures. However, lack of proper adhesion and brittle behavior of sulfur-modified asphalt mixtures could make them susceptible to moisture damage and fatigue cracking. In this regard, anti-stripping agents and some polymers like crumb rubber may be used to overcome these types of distresses. This research aimed at investigating the effects of polymeric sulfur and crumb rubber on the moisture sensitivity and fatigue behavior of asphalt mixtures. To this end, asphalt mixtures were subjected to 1 and 3 freeze-thaw cycles. Then, an indirect tensile fatigue test was carried out. Moreover, the response surface method (RSM) was used to assess the interaction between various parameters in samples containing polymeric sulfur and crumb rubber. Results showed that with an increase in polymeric sulfur content, the fatigue life was reduced and the moisture sensitivity was increased. Additionally, the RSM was found to be effective in ranking parameters influencing the performance of asphalt mixtures. According to the experimental results, a crumb rubber-modified binder could improve the fatigue life of the polymeric sulfur-modified mixture up to 70%. Furthermore, experimental results and RSM analysis indicated that crumb rubber would be more effective in higher numbers of freeze-thaw cycles and raised temperatures, in which polymeric sulfur-modified asphalt mixtures are probably prone to moisture damages (i.e. the lack of adequate cohesion and adhesion).
