Over the past few years, the research of the use of cast asphalt concrete mixtures in the upper layers of the coating of bridge structures has been actively carried out. The experience gained allows us to conclude that one of the most common effective ways to improve the durability and thermal stability of cast asphalt concrete pavements is the use of modified bituminous binders. The modified bitumen part of cast asphalt concrete acts as a medium capable of initiating the «self-healing» of the composite, independently eliminating structural defects. This study aims to research the rheological characteristics of modified bituminous binders. Bitumen grade BND 50/70 was used as a raw material in the study; the following types of additives were used as its modifiers: rubber modifier (RM), EVATHERM and SBS. The optimal concentrations of the proposed additives for modification allowing to achieve the effect of structuring the mastic component of cast asphalt concrete with insignificant increases in the temperatures of mixing and compaction of mixtures based on them have been revealed.

The current topic of the reliability of bridge structures in modern conditions and the role of the structural layers of the roadway (road surface) in increasing and maintaining their operational reliability and durability are considered. The existing standard designs of road surface clothing and the materials used for their arrangement are considered. The analysis and systematization of information from Russian and foreign sources on the construction of the clothing of the driving road indicates the prospects and technical and operational advantages of using cast asphalt concrete mixtures in the upper layers of the bridge pavement. It is noted that an effective road surface made of this material is capable of resisting existing loads, taking into account the specifics of the operation of the asphalt concrete surface during the established service life, additionally performing the protective waterproofing function of the metal structures of the bridge structure. The analysis of the literature demonstrates that active scientific research on the development and creation of effective cast asphalt concrete mixtures is primarily associated with the production and modification of its bituminous part, as a medium capable of initiating "self-healing" of the composite, independently eliminating structural defects. The rich experience of various methods of modifying bituminous binders, accumulated over the past few decades, allows to predict the prospects for using cast asphalt concrete in the construction of the roadway of bridge structures, based on improved binders, in order to create new high-quality materials that can improve the quality of the bridge network in the country.

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.

It is well known that asphalt concrete is a self healing material: immediately after both faces of a crack are in contact, the diffusion of molecules from one face to the other starts. If there are no more loads, this process takes place until the crack has completely disappeared and the material has recovered its original resistance [1]. To increase this healing rate two methods are proposed. The first one is a passive self-healing mechanism. Embedded encapsulated chemicals are used in the binder. When microcracks start appearing in the binder due to the combination of ageing and accumulated damage, they break the capsules and the chemicals enter the binder by diffusion. These chemicals repair the material, decreasing the stiffness and increasing the healing rates of bitumen. The second approach makes use of an active self healing mechanism. Local heating inside the material is used to repair the binder and to improve the properties again. This is realized by adding conductive particles to the binder and using induction energy to increase the temperature. These methods are a fairly new concept in the asphalt industry.

The article considers improvement of the methodology for accounting for the degradation of asphalt concrete working in the upper layers of the pavement. Development of recycling technologies for road structures is an ongoing process; it allows reaching a higher quality of reclaimed materials and using them for subsequent construction of structural layers, including the upper layers without the protective ones, as well as during repair and reconstruction of roads of various technical categories. At the same time, the system of pre-project assessment (diagnostics) of the state of asphalt concrete pavements cannot be considered optimal and effective because the determined indicators demonstrate that, firstly, various surface and structural defects are present, and, secondly, that the indicators mentioned above are more relevant to the road structure as a whole. The joint handling of the theoretical and experimental data allows concluding that damageability level depends on the physical, mechanical and structural properties, the main being maximal structural strength and the number of elastic bonds involved in the deformation process. A variant of modelling of asphalt concrete damageability depending on the work capacity is proposed, when the reduced amount of dissipated energy is replaced with sufficient accuracy for practice by the ratio of the actual number of load application cycles (freezing and thawing cycles) to the limit. A correlation between the level of damageability and the kinetics of changes of the interpore space of asphalt concrete under the influence of strain (temperature, climatic factors) has been established. Results allow fixing (predicting) the level of damageability by measuring the level of water permeability. The research methodology and equipment for implementation thereof was developed earlier, it can be effectively used at the stage of pre-project diagnosis.

The practice of operating highways in the Republic of Kazakhstan shows that the durability of asphalt concrete pavements on them is much lower than the standard terms. Therefore, the maintenance of highways in a condition that meets the requirements of traffic flows is impossible without the use of new, progressive materials and technologies. The main factor affecting a sharp decrease in the service life of road surfaces is the use of lowquality bitumen in asphalt-concrete mixtures as a binder, since microcracks develop mainly in its film. The article deals with artificially synthesized bitumens of the Aktau bitumen plant: The following indicators of petroleum bitumen were studied: penetration, extensibility properties, brittleness temperature, softening and ignition temperature. It has been proven that the results obtained correspond to the technical specifications.

The analysis of the modern regulatory framework for quality testing of bituminous binders has been carried out. A methodology for effectiveness evaluation of powder modifiers introduced into asphalt concrete mixtures according to «Russian dry process» was proposed. It is based on rheological tests of «model binders» (MB). The set of tests and standard indicators in a wide temperature range were determined. A new indicator for evaluation of the binder quality is proposed. It is destruction temperature of bituminous binders during fatigue tests.

The review is devoted to the analysis of modern research in the development of formulations and technology for the manufacture of composites based on bituminous binders for the creation of improved asphalt concrete. Methods for modification of bitumen by polymer additives, chemical stabilizers, industrial wastes (recycled polymers, ground tire rubber, fly ash, etc.), nanodispersed additives and carbon nanomaterials to obtain the necessary predetermined properties are considered. The positive and negative aspects of using various modifiers are analyzed. The efficiency of modification of bituminous binders with recycled polymers and nano(ultra)dispersed fillers is shown, which makes it possible to create composites based on bituminous binders for asphalt concrete pavements with high performance characteristics. The optimal content of additives to the bitumen binder has been analyzed: the amount of thermoplastic polymers and thermoplastic elastomers in the range of 3-10 wt.%, thermosetting polymers − over 10 wt.%, elastomers − up to 15 wt.%, and nano-sized additives: nano-oxides ≥ 5 wt.%, nanoclay ~ 3 wt. %, carbon nanotubes, graphene < 1.2 wt.%. Modification of bitumen with recycled polymers and partial replacement of expensive polymer modifiers with cheaper polymer waste, composite modifiers, namely recycled polymer mixed with ground tire rubber and / or fly ash are considered. This allows solving the environmental problems (waste utilization and secondary use) and reduce the cost of asphalt concrete. From the analysis of the experimental results, it becomes clear that for prediction of the properties of modified asphalt concrete, the basic characteristics of the original bitumen, which can differ significantly, are important, as well as the type of modifier (combination of modifiers), its chemical nature, and the efficiency of its dispersing in bitumen. The different chemical composition of the initial bitumen and its physicochemical properties probably play a primary role in imparting high and low temperature properties to asphalt concrete. Modification of a bituminous binder with waste polymers and nanofillers, first of all, makes it possible to improve such important performance characteristics of bitumen and asphalt concrete, such as softening temperature, penetration, penetration index, ductility, viscosity, moisture resistance, complex shear modulus, rutting parameter, resistance to cracking, etc.

The Given

Building and, especially, reconstruction and repairs of highways, call for the development of stone materials manufacturing industry. Increasing need for stone materials may be satisfied by a wide use of industrial waste and secondary resources. In road building, slag of ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy is one of the most popular wastes which are increasingly widespread with every year. Such slag is a valuable raw material for preparation of macadam materials and mineral binders serving as a base for asphalt concrete mixtures and manufacturing of cement emulsions, which are widely used in road paving. The research focused on the use of different types of slag in road construction in Ukraine. Possibilities of using crushed rock and sand as recrement slag of different production for preparation of asphalt concrete and cement mixtures to be used for road-base was studied, as well as the use of slag materials for construction of lower category roads. In the given work, the opportunity to recycle electric furnace steel-smelting slag for preparation of asphalt concrete mixtures was defined.

Abstract The dense hot MDC-19 type asphalt mixes are considered, by the “Instituto Nacional de Vías” in Colombia, as continuous grading asphalt mixes (asphalt concrete). These constitute most of the surface course, in the structures of in-service pavements, being the object of study and research in different projects to ensure their durability. In the present investigation, unlike other investigations, the mechanical behavior under Marshall monotonic load was studied in the laboratory between MDC-19 dense type asphalt mixtures, comparing plant-produced and laboratory-produced asphalt mixtures. To carry out this process, samples of uncompacted asphalt mixtures were taken, produced in four fixed plants, with which Marshall-type briquettes were compacted. Likewise, samples of mineral aggregates and asphalt cement were obtained from the same plants, which constitute the mixtures raw material produced there. With these materials, briquettes with the same characteristics were mixed and compacted. Subsequently, the resistance under Marshall monotonic load was determined on the briquettes manufactured in plant and laboratory. The optimal asphalt cement content was compared between plant and laboratory- produced mixtures. An increase in Marshall Stability was found in the briquettes made with plant-produced mixtures, while these required a greater amount of asphalt cement for their production.
