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.

This paper investigates dynamic response, rutting resistance, and fatigue behavior of three stone mastic asphalt (SMA) concrete mixtures selected on basis of nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS): 25 mm, 19 mm, and 12.5 mm using cellulose fiber added as 0.3% of the total weight of aggregate. Superpave gyratory specimens were fabricated and subjected to the dynamic modulus (E∗) and flow tests (flow number and flow time) using an asphalt mixture performance tester. The E∗ test results were employed to develop stress-dependent master curves for each mixture, indicating that the mixture with the NMAS of 25 mm is relatively stiffer than other tested mixtures; this mixture also exhibits excellent strength against rutting failure. In addition, fatigue parameter, which is derived from dynamic response and phase angle, is determined, and results reveal that 12.5 mm NMAS mix has relatively better resistance to fatigue than other selected mixtures. Furthermore, nonlinear regression model specifications were utilized to predict accumulated strains as a function of loading cycles. Also, a flow number model is developed that predicts the rutting behavior of mixtures, and results suggest that model predicted and observed outputs of 25 mm SMA mix are found to be very close. The results of this study help in understanding the performance and behavior of cellulose fiber-added stone mastic asphalt concrete mixtures under varying simulated temperature and stress levels, which can be used in areas where the premature failure of flexible pavements is often observed. The testing protocol employed in this study will also help in evaluating pavement performance using Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide.

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.

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).

The objective of this research was to select the most effective warm asphalt additives for mix practice based on a series of laboratory testing programs such as density, Marshall stability, freeze-thaw splitting strength, dynamic stability, and bending beam strain. The experimental design of warm mix asphalt included the use of three commonlyused additives, two typical aggregate gradations, one crushed aggregate, and one modified asphalt. Results showed that: (1) the bulk specific gravity and air voids of all the mix specimens were similar to those of controls; (2) the Marshall stability and flow values of the warm stone mastic asphalt were 6.8%–26.6% and 3.5%–10.3%% higher than those of controls, respectively, and those of the warm asphalt concrete were 6.1%–15.6% and 6.5%–9.7% higher than those of controls, respectively; (3) the indirect tensile strength of two types of mixtures was 1.7%–14.4% lower than that of controls, and the average tensile strength ratio of the warm stone mastic asphalt and asphalt concrete was 4.3% and 1.3% higher than that of controls, respectively; (4) the dynamic stability of warm mix specimens was 10.8%–16.6% lower than that of the controls; (5) the average bending failure strain of warm stone mastic asphalt was 7.6% higher than that of the controls, and that of warm asphalt concrete was 12.8% lower than that of the controls; (6) Overall, warm asphalt mixtures with Sasobit and Rediset had relatively best performances required in Southeast China, where rutting and stripping are the main failures of asphalt pavements.

Physical And Chemical

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.

The article presents the results of the study of the bitumen-retaining ability of stabilizing additives developed on the basis of cellulose-paper waste and finely dispersed fillers of various genesis. Analysis of the test results of crushed stone-mastic asphalt mixtures of the same composition showed that all additives provide the value of the runoff index of the organic binder in the mixture, which meets the requirement of the State Educational Standard No. 31015-2002. The introduction of mineral fillers into the stabilizer contributes to a decrease in the studied parameter, which is due to the additional structuring effect. For a two-component additive (without mineral filler), the studied indicator has the greatest value, exceeding the recommended limit. It is important to note that the use of mineral powder in the composition of stabilizing additives has a positive effect on the flow of the binder. Mineral powder, due to the structuring effect on bitumen and the formation of a microporous structure, reduces the run-off rate of the binder. This is due to the fact that bitumen, being in thin interlayers and small pores, falls into the region of influence of the molecules of the surface layer of the mineral part, increasing the density of granules and facilitating the granulation process of the additive. The minimum runoff of the organic binder is observed in the preparation of crushed stone-mastic asphalt-concrete mix with additives based on mechanically activated wastes of wet magnetic separation of ferruginous quartzites and is 0.07.
