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.

In this study, the failure mechanism of crumb rubber–asphalt pavement was analyzed under the combined effects of low temperature, water, and traffic load. The investigation was carried out based on the mechanical and deformational properties of crumb rubber–asphalt mixture and the typical environmental and load conditions such pavement is typically exposed to. A method was proposed for objective evaluation of the interfacial adhesion between rubber crumbs and asphalt through consideration of the effects of the characteristics of the materials and the working environment. The main evaluation method used herein included the indirect tensile strength test under freeze–thaw–boiling cycle, and the Cántabro abrasion test under water-immersion was adopted as an auxiliary method. The evaluation system has the advantages of simple implementation, realistic simulation of the actual working state of the mixture, and reliable results. Moreover, it is a durability evaluation method that can be specifically applied to asphalt mixtures with some special aggregates or stone mastic asphalt (SMA) mixtures.

Prone to low temperature cracking of asphalt pavement problems in cold areas, testing BBR on 70# base asphalt and 4 kinds of different dosage of SBS modified asphalt, testing TSRST on their mixture to appraisal the low temperature performance of SBS modified asphalt mixture. Results show that compared with the temperature stress of internal cracks of base asphalt and SBS modified asphalt mixture not rise significantly. But the stress of SBS asphalt mixture growing slow and the temperature of cracking reduce obviously; it means the low temperature performance improved. This shows that SBS improves the toughness and reduced the modulus of asphalt mixture in low temperature, rather than increasing the tensile strength of mixture specimens.

Resistance of asphalt mix to low-temperature cracking and rutting at high temperature is very important to ensure the service performance of asphalt pavement under seasonal changes in temperature and loading. However, it is challenging to balance the improvement of such resistance by using additives, e.g., anti-rutting agent (ARA). This study focuses on improving the flexibility of anti-rutting asphalt mix by incorporating crumb rubber (CR) and ARA. The properties of the prepared modified asphalt mix were evaluated in the laboratory by performing wheel tracking, three-point bending, indirect tensile, and uniaxial compression tests. The experimental results showed that the dynamic stability of modified asphalt mix was significantly increased due to the addition of ARA and further improved by incorporating CR. The maximum bending strain at −10 °C was increased due to the contribution of CR. The results of indirect tensile strength and resilient modulus further indicated that the CR-modified anti-rutting mixture was more flexible. Moreover, the field observation and evaluation indicated that the CR-modified anti-rutting asphalt pavement met the standard requirements, better than normal asphalt mixture in many parameters. A conclusion can be made that incorporating CR in asphalt mixture prepared with ARA can improve pavement performance at both high and low in-service temperatures.

One of the causes of flexible pavement damage is being submerged in water with a high acidity, such as seawater. To overcome this condition, a study on the use of buton asphalt (as-buton) was conducted. The advantages of as-buton are that it has higher adhesion and is more resistant to temperature changes. As-buton modification by mixing Lawele as-buton Southeast Sulawesi with oil asphalt pen 60/70. This study focuses on determining the effect of the addition of as-buton to the modified asphalt mixture and the effect of seawater immersion on as-buton mixture based on the Marshall characteristic test. The percentage by weight of as-buton used is 5%, 7.5%, and 10%. The immersion was carried out in freshwater and seawater immersion for up to 24 hours at a temperature of 30°C. The result of this study show that the addition of as-buton increase the value of stability, void in mixture, Marshall quotient (MQ), and void in mineral aggregate, but reduce the flow, void filled with asphalt, and density. The increase of stability and MQ value in seawater-immersion due to the addition of as-buton was higher than that in freshwater. The stability value of the 10% modified as-buton mixture in freshwater-immersion increased by 169.338 kg (14.61%) and in seawater-immersion increased by 1261.669 kg (55.65%). The flow value in freshwater-immersion decreased by 1.9 mm (25.33%) while in seawater-immersion decreased by 1 mm (14.08%). For further research, variations in the addition of as-buton will be carried out to produces a modified asphalt mixture.

The reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) materials with aged SBS bitumen were limited to applied in unmodified asphalt mixture for low level pavement structure by conventional recycling technology. To overcome this, a new recycling procedure was developed to recover the aged SBS RAP as modified asphalt mixture by warm mixing technology. The Marshall method was applied to design Warm Recycled SBS modified Asphalt Mixture (WRMA) with different RAP content (0, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%). the performance properties of WRMA and hot recycled SBS modified asphalt mixture (HRMA), such as the high temperature stability, water stability and low temperature performance, were evaluated by the rutting test, low-temperature creep test, beam bending test and water immersion Marshall test, respectively. From the testing results, the properties of WRMA was more than HRMA significantly, and the warm recycling technology could effectively increase the RAP content applied in recycled pavement materials.
