Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study investigates the impact of processed oil on asphalt binder PG 64-22 and conjugate of it with common modifiers such as Crumbed Rubber Modifier (CRM), Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene (SIS), Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) and Petroleum Resin (PE). The binder was tested at different temperatures, and different amounts of modifiers and processed oil were added to the binder. The modified binders were also aged artificially using different procedures. The study found that adding processed oil to polymer modified binders reduces viscosity and improves workability, while the modifiers improve the rutting resistance of them, however, the addition of processed oil reduces the binder's rutting performance due to decrement of viscosity. The study also found that the conjugating of modifying polymers and processed oil improves the low temperature cracking resistance. The study's results indicate that co-modifying polymer binders with processed oil resulted in a significant reduction in viscosity values, resulting in improved workability. The results also showed that increasing the processed oil concentration from 6% to 12% caused a viscosity reduction in conjugation of CRM, SIS, SBS and PE. Even though the addition of processed oil results in a reduction in the rutting performance of asphalt binder, the addition of polymers significantly improved the rutting resistance of asphalt binders. The modified asphalt binders containing 6% and 12% processed oil decreased the G*sin ð values. This reduction caused improvement of fatigue cracking resistance of all binders modified with CRM, SIS, SBS and PE. The higher concentration of processed oil means 12% showed greater reduction rate compared to the asphalt binders containing 6% processed oil. The BBR results for modified asphalt binders showed that the incorporation of CRM, SIS, SBS and PE and processed oil improved the low temperature cracking resistance significantly, due to the high penetration rate of processed oil in asphalt binders during modification.

Download or read book SBS Polymer Modified Asphalt Binder and Its Implications on Overlay Design written by PC. Hopman and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substantially improved overlay mixes, required by the modern road industry should be highly resistent to reflection cracking. The mix must contribute significantly to the stiffness of the pavement, even when it is applied in relatively thin layers. The binder should possess a high softening temperature to reduce the sensitivity for rutting and corrugation, and it should have a reasonable penetration value to minimize the chances of cracking. In this paper attention is paid to the manner SBS polymer modified asphalt binders cope with this set of requirements. The basic principles of this modification are outlined and emphasis is laid on the rheological and mechanical properties: viscosity and penetration test results are presented. Burgers' model for viscoelastic materials is used in an attempt to describe the visco elasticy. Results of indirect tensile tests are reported, including the tensile strengths and the elastic moduli. Repeated loading tests have been done on polymer modified and plain asphaltic concrete mixes. The results are mutually compared concerning fatigue behaviour, elastic moduli and crack propagation characteristics. The paper describes various trial sections, with special attention to comparative tests carried out in an Australian accelerated loading facility.

Download or read book Detection of Polymer Modifiers in Asphalt Binder written by Stacey D. Diefenderfer and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study addressed the evaluation of alternative test methods to identify the presence of polymer modifiers in performance-graded binders for the purpose of quality assurance. A method of identification is presented in AASHTO T302, Polymer Content of Polymer-Modified Emulsions and Asphalt Binders, that uses Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to evaluate the constituent elements in binders or emulsions. With proper calibration, output from FTIR can be used to determine the presence and approximate content of polymers in an asphalt binder. AASHTO T301, Elastic Recovery Test of Bituminous Materials by Means of a Ductilometer, offers an alternative method to determine the presence of polymer by evaluating the elasticity of the binder. Samples of binder were collected from contractor tanks and tested in accordance with AASHTO T301 and AASHTO T302. The performance grade was verified in accordance with AASHTO M320. Test results were evaluated to identify calibration needs, test variability, and choice of preferred methodologies for adoption into the quality assurance program. Results of the study identified the use of either FTIR analysis or elastic recovery as a timesaving alternative to full-fledged performance grading in the initial investigation of concerns about the presence of polymer. Both methods identified binders containing varying polymer contents with no instances of false positive identification. However, based on the results of this study, neither method is suitable to determine binder grade. The investigator recommends that the elastic recovery and FTIR analysis be incorporated as quality assurance tests to verify the presence of polymer in mixtures that specify the use of polymer-modified asphalt binders. Following this, the frequency of quality assurance sampling of polymer modified binders should be increased to ensure that inferior material is not being used in premium mixtures. Further, AASHTO T301 should be adopted in place of Virginia Test Method 104 for use with unaged binders. Incorporating the use of elastic recovery testing and FTIR spectroscopy as alternatives to performance grading will benefit VDOT by allowing increased quality assurance testing of premium asphalt mixtures. This will result in minimizing VDOT's risk of acceptance of inferior material and maximizing the benefits of using premium materials. Typically, performance grading is performed once per month on one binder sample from each active grade of binder in a VDOT district. This is estimated to result in testing less than 5% of the binder lots used in any district during a typical month. Although neither elastic recovery testing nor FTIR spectroscopy was shown conclusively to determine binder grade, almost all PG 76-22 binders shipped into Virginia contain polymer modifiers. Thus, the detection of the polymer is a first level indicator for quality assurance. The potential cost of these tests is approximately $200 per test for elastic recovery and approximately $120 per test for FTIR spectroscopy. Overall, the increased testing is expected to result in improved pavement quality by reducing the acceptance of inferior material.
