This book was released on 2015 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of polymer-modified binder has become much more important in recent years to enhance the durability and strength of asphalt concrete (AC) pavements in order to sustain higher traffic volumes, heavier loads, and extreme weather conditions. Unlike neat (unmodified) asphalt binders, polymer-modified binders are sensitive to the applied stress levels and show a nonlinear response in rutting factor and phase angle. The widely used dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) test (AASHTO T315) is not sufficient to capture viscoelastic properties of polymer modified-asphalt binders. Thus, state transportation agencies often need to conduct additional expensive and time consuming "PG Plus" tests (e.g., elastic recovery (ER), force ductility, toughness, and tenacity) for characterizing polymer-modified binders. Multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR), a recently introduced test method (AASHTO TP 70) for measuring high temperature properties of an asphalt binder, is expected to replace the existing AASHTO T315 for short-term aged binder. In the current study, MSCR and Superpave tests were conducted on three commonly used performance grade (PG) binders (PG 64-22, PG 70-28, and PG 76-28) from 12 different sources throughout Oklahoma. Based on expected traffic loads and service temperatures, the tested binder samples were graded in accordance with the MSCR grading system. The non-recoverable creep compliance (Jnr) and MSCR % recovery values obtained from the MSCR tests were then analyzed using the polymer curve and quadrant methods to assess the feasibility of the adoption of the MSCR test method for conditions prevailing in Oklahoma. Findings of this study reveal that the MSCR test method can be used to characterize polymer-modified binders without penalizing suppliers or risking the users.

This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Superpave specifications and equipment, introduced in 1993, represented a major advancement with respect to offering a better understanding of the behavior and characteristics of asphalt binders based on their rheological properties. However, the Superpave high-temperature test protocol has been shown to be inadequate for characterizing the high-temperature behavior (rutting resistance) of asphalt binders, particularly polymer modified ones. Recently, a specification based on the Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR) test has been proposed to address the shortcomings of the Superpave high-temperature binder specifications. This study aims to investigate the merits of implementing the MSCR test and specification as a replacement for the conventional high-temperature testing in the Performance Graded (PG) system. A statistical analysis was conducted on a dataset from Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) to see how MSCR and PG procedures differ in grading different binders used in the state. In addition, an experimental study was conducted using seventeen different modified and unmodified binders. In addition to binder tests, seven of the binders were selected to conduct asphalt mixture tests such as dynamic modulus and flow number. The results confirm that the MSCR test is a suitable replacement for the current PG high temperature test since it provides a better tool to rank modified asphalt binders as well as unmodified ones. That is, creep compliance from the MSCR test more fundamentally represents binder behavior at high temperatures compared to the PG rutting parameter. In addition, the very simplified approach, known as grade-bumping, used in the current PG system to account for high traffic levels and low speed limits can be eliminated when using the MSCR test. The MSCR test also provides a better coefficient of correlation (at both stress levels) with flow number test results than the PG rutting parameter, again indicating that it more accurately reflects binder performance at high temperatures.

Book excerpt: Waste polymers have been studied for various applications such as energy generation and biochemical production; however, their application in asphalt roads still poses some questions. Over the last decade, several studies have reported the utilization of waste plastics in roads using different methodologies and raw materials, but there is still significant inconsistency around this topic. What is the right methodology to recycle waste plastics for road applications? What is the correct type of waste plastics to be used in road applications? What environmental concerns could arise from the use of waste plastics in road applications? Plastic Waste for Sustainable Asphalt Roads covers the various processes and techniques for the utilization of waste plastics in asphalt mixes. The book discusses the various material properties and methodologies, effects of various methodologies, and combination of various polymers. It also provides information on the compatibility between bitumen and plastics, final asphalt performance, and environmental challenges. Discusses the processes and techniques for utilization of waste plastics in asphalt mixes. Features a life-cycle assessment of waste plastics in road surfaces and possible Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). Includes examples of on-field usage through various case studies.
