Investigation of Rutting and Aging Performance of Gap-Graded Rubberized Asphalt Mixtures

Abstrakt

Gap-graded asphalt mixtures like stone mastic asphalt (SMA), porous asphalt (PA), and asphalt mixtures for very thin layers (fr. Béton Bitumineuse Très Mince—BBTM) are usually made with the use of SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) polymer-modified bitumen. This is a binder that allows one to achieve the required parameters, but at the same time, its use increases the costs of making pavement layers. An alternative to polymermodified bitumen (SBS) is rubber-modified bitumen. The research presented in this publication includes an assessment of the resistance to permanent deformation and susceptibility to aging of SMA and porous asphalt (PA) mixtures containing both SBS polymer-modified bitumen and rubber-modified bitumen, where the modification process was carried out directly in the refinery. The laboratory tests of resistance to deformation were assessed based on the rutting test and on the assessment of the dynamic modulus (SPT). The changes in the tested asphalt mixtures after aging in laboratory conditions were assessed based on the changes in the stiffness modulus (IT-CY) and the changes in the indirect tensile strength (ITS) after the short-term and long-term aging processes. The presented research results clearly show that the use of rubber-modified bitumen produced in industrial conditions (i.e., in a refinery) allows one to obtain gap-graded mixtures that are as resistant to permanent deformation as mixtures containing SBS polymer-modified bitumen. Similar conclusions resulted from the study of susceptibility to aging. Changes after aging for both types of asphalt mixtures were at a similar level. The presented results clearly indicate that, in the case of gap-graded mixtures such as SMA- and PA-type mixtures, they meet the rutting and aging expectations when either expensive modified bitumen or a cheaper, more environmentally friendly alternative (rubber-modified bitumen) is used.
