One of the main reasons for reducing the service life of road asphalt pavements (the appearance and development of damage in the form of ruts, various kinds of plastic deformations, potholes, cracks, etc.) is the low quality of the used oil bitumen. The physicomechanical properties of road bitumen are subject to stricter requirements, especially for organic binders used for the production of crushed stone mastic asphalt (SMA), therefore, in authors’ view, the development of bitumen binders with enhanced physicomechanical properties is one of the key and most urgent tasks in road construction. This problem is solved by introducing various modifiers into the binder. This article presents the results of a study of bitumen modified by introducing technical sulfur into the composition. The effect of binder modification on the physicomechanical properties of road asphalt concrete is shown on the example of crushed stone mastic asphalt (SMA-20) relative to base samples made to control the dynamics of changes in the properties of composites made using sulfur-raising technologies. For a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of modifying crushed stone mastic asphalt concrete based on various binders, a generalized quality criterion is calculated, taking into account the calculated particular quality criteria and various values of the weight coefficients. The comparison and analysis of the obtained efficiency criteria is made.

Stone mastic asphalt concrete is one of the main types of asphalt concrete used for the construction of road surfaces. The quality, reliability and longevity of which depends on road safety of vehicles. To reduce the intensity of aging processes occurring at the stage of production and laying of asphalt concrete, "green" technologies are used, based on the use of physical and chemical processes that reduce the viscosity of bitumen to produce warm asphalt mixtures. This paper discusses the features of the formation of properties of crushed stone-mastic asphalt mixes SMA-15 based on polymer bitumen modified, compacted at lower temperatures, relative to traditional asphalt concrete. The influence of chemical additives of domestic and foreign production of DAD-TA and Cecabase RT 945 on the properties of modified binder and asphalt concrete was studied. It was established that they have a positive plasticizing effect on the modified bitumen binder in crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete without a decrease in heat resistance and adhesive strength, which made it possible to compact asphalt concrete samples at low temperatures (up to 130°C) without negatively affecting the strength and deforming properties of asphalt concrete.

Heavy traffic reduces the strength characteristics of asphalt concrete, causes peeling on the pavement. Crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete is designed for the device of the upper layers of the coating on roads with high traffic intensity. The use of polymerasfalt concrete on a modified binder can lead to an improvement in the physical and mechanical characteristics of asphalt concrete and increase its re-sistance to climatic influences. The main aspects of improving the quality of crushed stone-mastic as-phalt concrete (SMA) due to the use of a binder modified with sevilen (SEVA) are discussed. The effect of bitumen containing sevilen with 22 and 29 % vinyl acetate groups on the properties of crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete has been investigated. Analysis of the results showes that the use of modified binders has a positive effect on the entire complex of physical and mechanical parameters of polymer asphalt concrete. An increase in the strength of the samples at 20 and 50 °C, a decrease in this indicator at 0 °C is established. The indicators of water and heat resistance, shear resistance and crack resistance are also improved, which should have a positive effect on the durability of the road surface. Rational concentrations of polymer additives and the amount of vinyl acetate groups in its composition have been established. The adhesion of the binder to the mineral part of the asphalt con-crete mixture is estimated. The index of sensitivity to temperature differences of asphalt concrete sam-ples is considered due to the fact that asphalt concrete is a material that reacts to temperature fluctua-tions in the external environment. The analysis of the results of the tests carried out demonstrates that the use of modified binders has a positive effect on the entire complex of physical and mechanical pa-rameters of polymer asphalt concrete.

The effect of modification of asphalt concrete mixtures of different grain sizes with “Ric-Polycell” (Ukraine) and “Duroflex®-SMA” thermoplastic polymers (Germany), which were added directly to the asphalt mixer during their preparation, on the properties of asphalt concrete was studied. It is confirmed that it is more expedient to use stone mastic asphalt concretes with a larger size of mineral crushed stone grains on high-traffic roads, as they are more rutting-resistant compared to asphalt concretes with smaller size and content of crushed stone grains. The effect of the temperature of preparation and thermostating of asphalt concrete mixtures modified with the investigated thermoplastics on the compressive strength of asphalt concrete at a temperature of 50 °С, which were made of the studied mixtures, was investigated. It was found that the maximum possible temperatures of preparation and thermostating of asphalt concrete mixes provide a more complete modification. The effect of the content of thermoplastic polymers in the composition of asphalt concrete mixtures on the properties and rutting resistance of fine-grained asphalt concrete, as well as stone mastic asphalt concrete, was studied. It was found that adding the “Ric-Polycell” polymer in the amount of 1.5 % and 3 % by weight of bitumen in the composition of the studied asphalt mixtures in the asphalt mixer during their preparation increases the rutting resistance of asphalt concrete under the studied conditions by 2.52–3.86 times. Modification of asphalt concrete mixtures with the “Duroflex®-SMA” additive in the amount of 0.3 % and 0.6 % by weight of the aggregate by a similar technology also allows increasing the rutting resistance of the obtained asphalt concrete by 1.86–3.16 times. Using these modifiers in the future will have a positive effect on the service life of the entire pavement structure

The main tasks of improving the crushed stone-mastic coatings of forest timber highways through the use of innovative road-building materials are considered. Such roads are characterized by the use of materials capable of meeting the basic requirements for transport and operational conditions in difficult natural and climatic conditions. The known road building materials are distinguished by the instability of their physical and mechanical properties. This causes significant difficulties both in the design and in the operation of forest timber roads made of these materials. Despite the complex of experimental studies carried out, the task of developing road coatings with adjustable performance properties remains unfulfilled. Thus, the developed method of designing the grain composition of crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete pavements of forest roads, with new transport and operational parameters, taking into account the operating conditions, which determined the purpose of this work, will help to solve the problem. The aim of the research was to develop methods for creating crushed-night-mastic asphalt concrete pavements of forest timber roads, using a heat stabilizing additive from expanded vermiculite sand. In this work, the problem of assessing the degree of influence of the addition of sand from expanded vermiculite on the quality indicators of crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete coatings of forest timber roads was solved. The results of the work were the creation of a formulation of crushed stone-mastic asphalt concrete with a heat-stabilizing additive from expanded vermulite of fraction from 0.5 to 1.0 mm. Taking into account the sufficient adequacy of experimental research, the results of the selection of the mixture can be recommended for use in the practice of building forest timber roads for I and II road-climatic zones.

The paper considers the use of crushed stone-mastic asphalt mixtures laid with a small thickness as protective layers of wear of roads. The General characteristics of mixtures and their components are given, the pros and cons, as well as the possibility of their application are given. As a mineral powder, it is recommended to use lime-containing waste (calcium oxide hydrate) of the chemical industry. The effective increase of shear resistance of the protective wear layer with the subsequent prevention of the formation of a track on the coating due to the use of lime-containing waste, which has a highly active structuring effect on bitumen with a slowdown in its aging in the asphalt binder, subject to the principles of sufficient water resistance and crack resistance of asphalt concrete. The replacement of mineral powder with lime-containing waste in the composition of crushed-mastic asphalt concrete with the same mass amount of other mineral components and bitumen indicates a significant increase in quality indicators.

The evaluation of the quality of the fibrous filler, which is part of stabilizing additives for the production of stone mastic asphalt concrete, can be carried out on the basis of researching its structuring role to a binding material, which was studied by the following parameters: the depth of needle penetration, elongation at 25 and at 0°C, the softening point, cohesion, elasticity and plastic strength. It is found that the fiber made of high-density microporous cellulose-paper waste have the highest adsorption activity and structuring capacity to the organic binder. Moreover, the adding fiber in amount of 1% of the initial bitumen weight allows forming the more rigid framework of the "tar - cellulose fiber" system, which corresponds to the introduction of 0.5% of stabilizing additive to the stone mastic asphalt mix (SMAM), that is, the amount close to recommended regulations.

AbstractThe aggregate applied for the wearing course has a significant influence on skid resistance of road surfaces. However, it is difficult to evaluate the behaviour of road surface in use on the basis of the Polished Stone Value (PSV) determined for the aggregate according to the so called ‘British method’. The British method, which is currently used in many countries, does not allow to determine the influence of neither the grain size of the aggregate nor the type of the wearing course on skid resistance of road surface. The present paper suggests a method for evaluation of the British Pendulum Number (BPN) for road surfaces in laboratory conditions. The authors assumed the BPN for polished slabs, made from asphalt mixtures, as the criterion. The index was measured with the British Pendulum Tester. The simulation of the process was conducted on research stand (called slab polisher) built at Bialystok University of Technology (BUT). The results of laboratory tests indicate that surfaces from asphalt concrete (AC) have slightly higher values of BPN in comparison with the values determined for surfaces made from stone mastic asphalt (SMA).
