Asphalt aging is the main cause of fatigue failure from asphalt pavements, and it can be divided into thermaloxidative and ultraviolet (UV) aging. In this study, nano-TiO2/Irganox 1010 were added to neat asphalt to simultaneously improve the aging phenomenon of asphalt in a variety of complex conditions of asphalt. We then analyzed and discussed physical properties of nano-TiO2/Irganox 1010 modified asphalt composites. In addition, MSCR (Multiple Stress Creep Recovery) and DSR (Dynamic Shear Rheometer) rheological tests were performed on nano-TiO2/Irganox 1010 modified asphalt with different contents. Aging simulation of nano-TiO2/Irganox 1010 modified asphalt was conducted through the TFOT (The Thin Film Oven Test) and UV test, and microstructure of UV aging was analyzed through scanning electron microscopy. Data analysis showed that the nano-TiO2/Irganox 1010 increased softening point and reduced penetration (25 °C) and ductility (5 °C). The nano-TiO2/Irganox 1010 also improved the creep resistance and rheological properties of the composites. Finally, the analysis of test results under different conditions showed that the addition of nano-TiO2/Irganox 1010 significantly enhanced the ability of asphalt to deal with aging in a variety of complex environments.

Engineers have been using modified binders to improve the quality of flexible pavements. The use of waste material is one of the solutions taken in this direction. It is for this ground that the studies emphasis on the evaluation of waste engine oil as a modifier for asphalt binder as a pavement material. In the study uses four samples extracted from 80/100 penetration grade bitumen. From four sample first sample was checked for weather requirements of asphalt binder meet or not and the three were modified with different content of engine oil (3,6 and 9%). The behaviors of both unmodified and modified binder were checked for rheological properties. Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) was used to determine high temperature performance grade (PG) and multiple stress creep recovery tests to determine rutting resistance properties of the binder. PG analysis indicates that both aged and un-aged 3% and 6% modified binder have similar higher PG grade with the unmodified one and 9% modified to have lower PG vale. Jnr3.2 value of modified asphalt binder is lower than unmodified binder indicating that modification had improved the rutting resistance and design traffic load (ESALS). The study shows that it is possible to use waste engine oil-modified binder as a pavement material.

The sustainable use of non-renewable natural resources, such as asphalt binder, can be achieved by adequate planning. The proper assessment of asphalt binders is a prerequisite to the appropriate designing of road constructions that can eventually result in pavements in which the development of pavement distresses can be mitigated. Rutting is the most common distress occurring at high temperatures, which is frequently experienced by such countries as Indonesia; thus, the use of adequate asphalt binder in hot mix asphalt pavements results in long-lasting road constructions. By means of advanced techniques, e.g., multiple stress creep recovery test, conducted on a dynamic shear rheometer, it is possible to determine the rutting potential of asphalt binders. This technique, however, still seems to be imprecise at currently determined shear stress values. This paper aims to investigate on the example of ten different asphalt binders, if creep and recovery measured at higher shear stresses result in better correlation with rutting potential of hot mix asphalts than that at the standardized stress levels. Concurrently, other conventional asphalt binder properties (e.g., penetration, softening point, elastic recovery) are determined and compared with rutting.

Multiple stress creep recovery test (MSCR) as an effective evalution mothed for polymer modified asphalt was studied newly,and was formed a new ASTM standard.In this article, SBS modified asphalt,rubber asphalt,and rubber/SBS composite modified asphalt were taken a multiple stress creep recovery test (MSCR) through the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), value of Jnr and Jnr-diff from MSCR test of different modified asphalt were studied according to ASTM D7405-08.The results showed the rubber / SBS modified asphalt had a lower Jnr compared with the other two,which indicating that it had an obvious advantage on high temperature deformation resistancing.Furthermore,low Jnr-diff value was related with lower dependence on the shear stress. made it applicable to conditions such as high temperature and overload or long steep road construction; MSCR test also provides a reasonable basis for choosing modified asphalt in such geological and climate conditions.
