This book was released on 2016 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the proposed research project is to determine the feasibility of utilization of laboratory blended ground tire rubber (GTR), terminally-blended GTR following Nevada Department of Transportation's (NDOT’s) specifications, or other crumb-rubber-modified (CRM) products to meet the rheological and engineering properties of asphalt modified binders and mixtures. The test results will be compared to styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) modified binders used in Nevada. The specific objectives of the research project will include the following: (1) Determining initial recommendations for terminally-blended GTR mix design guidelines based on the literature review and basic laboratory test results; (2) Investigating the rheological characteristics of various crumb rubber types (e. g. -30, -40, and terminal blend) at high, intermediate, and low performance temperatures through the performance of American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards and any other NDOT’s specification requirements; (3) Investigating the effects of various rubber modifiers on NDOT’s mix design including the mix volumetric properties such as air voids, voids in mineral aggregate (VMA), and optimum asphalt binder ratio specifications from AASHTO and NDOT; (4) Determining the Hveem stability, moisture susceptibility, permanent deformation, dynamic modulus, flow number characteristics of various alternate modifiers with hydrated lime in terms of specifications from AASHTO and NDOT; and (5) Developing recommended specifications for Nevada DOT regarding the utilization of these materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this project was to develop an asphalt mix design method incorporating crumb rubber and using the "Wet" or "Dry" method of producing Crumb Rubber Modified Asphalt (CRM). Several resurfacing projects have been constructed using both the "Wet" and "Dry" methods. Based on this study, the Kansas Department of Transportation could use CRM mixes with a binder content between 7.5% and 9.0% depending on the percent air voids, with 19% to 22% rubber content. In this study, it was observed that using 24% rubber produced mixes that were too sticky to manage. With a rubber content of less than 18% combined with AC-5 it was difficult to satisfy the minimum viscosity requirements. Fracture tests can be used as a basis to determine the optimum binder content for any asphalt-rubber mix.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asphalt mixture performance tests (AMPTs) are developed to complement the Superpave volumetric mix design procedure and to reliably measure the mechanical response characteristics of the asphalt mixtures. The AMPT protocols, such as dynamic modulus, flow time and flow number test protocols, and the computational algorithms for post-processing of data are in the development stages and require further refinement. In this investigation, AMPTs were carried out on asphalt mixtures with unmodified, polymer-modified, and crumb-rubber-modified binders. Dynamic modulus test was carried out for a wide range of temperatures and frequencies and master curves were constructed. It was observed that the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) procedure for master curves does not take into account the influence of phase angle, and this could hinder the effective use of this input in pavement design and analysis. Flow time and flow number tests were carried out for an extended time of 100 000 s (cycles) rather than the currently practised 10 000 s (cycles) protocol. The test data was used in assessing the various algorithms for evaluating flow values. A wheel tracking test was also carried out and it was found that the response of mixtures could be correlated to wheel tracking test results in a qualitative manner to the flow time test.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The urgent need for infrastructure rehabilitation and maintenance has led to a rise in the levels of research into bituminous materials. Breakthroughs in sustainable and environmentally friendly bituminous materials are certain to have a significant impact on national economies and energy sustainability. This book will provide a comprehensive review on recent advances in research and technological developments in bituminous materials. Opening with an introductory chapter on asphalt materials and a section on the perspective of bituminous binder specifications, Part One covers the physiochemical characterisation and analysis of asphalt materials. Part Two reviews the range of distress (damage) mechanisms in asphalt materials, with chapters covering cracking, deformation, fatigue cracking and healing of asphalt mixtures, as well as moisture damage and the multiscale oxidative aging modelling approach for asphalt concrete. The final section of this book investigates alternative asphalt materials. Chapters within this section review such aspects as alternative binders for asphalt pavements such as bio binders and RAP, paving with asphalt emulsions and aggregate grading optimization. - Provides an insight into advances and techniques for bituminous materials - Comprehensively reviews the physicochemical characteristics of bituminous materials - Investigate asphalt materials on the nano-scale, including how RAP/RAS materials can be recycled and how asphalt materials can self-heal and rejuvenator selection
