Water Damage

Water damage often occurs on porous asphalt pavement during service life because of the well-developed pore structure. Determining the adhesion and adhesion healing properties of high-viscosity modified asphalt (HVMA) under water condition is beneficial to understand the water damage process of porous asphalt. In this study, the modified binder bond strength test was first conducted to investigate the adhesion property and self-healing behavior of HVMA at different conditions. Then, the surface energy test was carried out to further characterize the differences in adhesion property of HVMA. Moreover, the gel permeation chromatography test and fluorescence microscopic test were used to investigate the influence of chemical composition and polymer morphology on the adhesion property of HVMA. Results show that the presence of water reduces the adhesion property of HVMA. The addition of polymers leads to an increasing adhesion strength and a decreasing self-healing ability of HVMA. The self-healing ability of HVMA improves with the increase of temperature, but also shows a decreased trend when the healing time is long at high-temperature water immersion. The effect of polymers on the adhesion property of asphalt has two aspects. First, the swelling of polymers leads to an increasing content of polar heavy components in HVMA, thus enhancing polarity adsorption between asphalt and aggregate. Moreover, a polymer-centered interfacial diffusion layer can be formed during the adsorption of light components, which increases the overlapping area of structural asphalt between adjacent aggregates. This can also improve the adhesion property at the asphalt–aggregate interface.

Rubber Modification

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.

High-viscosity modified asphalt is mainly used as a binder for porous asphalt in China and Japan. In order to meet the demand for using porous asphalt under high temperature condition in Africa, high-viscosity asphalt made from low-grade matrix asphalt, which is commonly used in Africa is investigated. Based on simulation of local climate in Africa, the suitable range of high viscosity additive content for different matrix asphalt was obtained by analyzing dynamic viscosity of the asphalt. Through PG high temperature grading, multi-stress repeated creep, accelerated fatigue, temperature sweep and other tests, changes of high temperature, anti-fatigue and anti-shear indicators before and after modification were compared and analyzed and effects of different matrix asphalt were also studied. Finally, considering engineering requirements, mixing and compaction temperatures of various high-viscosity modified asphalt were determined through study of viscosity-temperature characteristics. This research provides a support for preparation of high-viscosity modified asphalt and porous asphalt mixture by using low grade asphalt. The research achievements can help to guide the material design and application of porous asphalt in Africa and other high temperature areas.

Permanent deformations, primarily in the form of ruts, are one of the basic asphalt pavement damages impairing its service properties. Application of appropriate asphalt mixtures and binder modification are effective methods for improving asphalt courses resistance. While being manufactured, stored, fitted into a road pavement and during long term service, bitumen binders and asphalt mixtures are subject to continuous unfavourable ageing processes during which pavement courses characteristics change considerably, resistance to permanent deformations being among them. This article presents rut and dynamic creep test results of concrete, SMA (stone mastic asphalt), MNU (thin courses of non‐continuous grain mixtures), Superpave mixture and porous asphalt mixture of two air void content percentages: 15 %, 20 %. Asphalt concrete mixtures, MNU's and porous asphalt mixtures contained elastomer, plastomer and fine rubber modified binders. Samples for laboratory rut tests were made by slab compaction because this method, as the author's previous research had shown, was the closest to ‘in‐situ’ conditions. Resistance to permanent deformations of the examined specimens was evaluated before aging, after technological aging (short term ageing) and after service ageing (long‐term ageing). The test results show that resistance to permanent deformations depends on the kind of asphalt mixture and binder applied. Concrete asphalts with fine rubber modified bitumens and concrete asphalts with 7 % polymer modified binders as well as SMA's and Superpave mixtures with unmodified binders appeared to be most resistant to permanent deformations after a long‐term laboratory ageing. It was proved that the overall evaluation of resistance to permanent deformations could be obtained by rut and creep testing of asphalt mixtures exposed to short‐ and long‐term ageing. Simultaneous determining 4 parameters: maximum rut depth after short‐term ageing, rutting coefficient after operational ageing, stiffness creeping modulus after long‐term ageing and cumulated deformation after short‐term ageing, facilitates full characteristics of modified asphalt mixes designed to be built in the wearing course of a road pavement.

Selection Of

Porous asphalt (PA) mixtures are more environmentally friendly but have lower durability than dense-graded mixtures. Additives can be incorporated into PA mixtures to enhance their mechanical strength; however, they may compromise the hydraulic characteristics, increase the total cost of pavement, and negatively affect the environment. In this paper, PA mixtures were produced with 5 different types of additives including 4 fibers and 1 filler. Their performances were compared with the reference mixtures containing virgin bitumen and polymer-modified bitumen. The performance of all mixes was assessed using: mechanical, hydraulic, economic, and environmental indicators. Then, the Delphi method was applied to compute the relative weights for the parameters in multi-criteria decision-making methods. Evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS), technique for order of the preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), and weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) were employed to rank the additives. According to the results obtained, aramid pulp displayed comparable and, for some parameters such as abrasion resistance, even better performance than polymer-modified bitumen, whereas cellulose fiber demonstrated the best performance regarding sustainability, due to economic and environmental benefits.

Mechanical Performances

In recent years, nanotechnology has sparked an interest in nanomodification of bituminous materials to increase the viscosity of asphalt binders and improves the rutting and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. This paper presents the experimental results of laboratory tests on bituminous mixtures laid on a 1052 m-long test section built in Rome, Italy. Four asphalt mixtures for wearing and binder layer were considered: two polymer modified asphalt concretes (the former modified with the additive Superplast and the latter modified with styrene–butadiene–styrene), a “hard” graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) modified asphalt concrete and a not-modified mixture. The indirect tensile strength, water sensitivity, stiffness modulus, and fatigue resistance of the mixtures were tested and compared. A statistical analysis based on the results has shown that the mixtures with GNPs have higher mechanical performances than the others: GNP could significantly improve the tested mechanical performances; further studies will be carried out to investigate its effect on rutting and skid resistance.
