In order to explore the feasibility of waste edible animal oil used as the asphalt rejuvenator, this study investigated the effect of waste edible animal oil on softening point, penetration, ductility and viscosity of aged asphalt binders. The aged asphalt binders were obtained from the indoor simulating aging processes by using Thin Film Oven Test (TFOT) and Pressure Aging Vessel (PAV). The results show that the dosage of waste animal oil has different effect on physical properties of aged asphalt. Both 70# asphalt and SBS modified asphalt have the optimal content of waste edible animal oil to achieve the best physical properties. The optimal contents of waste edible animal oil for 70# asphalt and SBS modified asphalt are 6% and 4%, respectively.

Simulation of short-term aging of asphalt binders is a widely used procedure in asphalt binder characterization for predicting the binder response to plant mixing and paving under controlled laboratory conditions. There are two laboratory test methods for evaluating the short-term aging of asphalt binders: (i) a method using rotating pans filled with a thin asphalt film termed thin film oven test (TFOT) and (ii) a method using rolling cylindrical asphalt containers termed rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT). In this paper, an attempt is made to develop generalized models for short-term aging effects using the RTFOT aging time as a benchmark. Six binder types representing two PG grades and three source suppliers are conditioned to varying levels of RTFOT aging and tested using the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). Aging effects are modelled using independent temperature shift models for the shear modulus and phase angle. The paper discusses the sources of errors in producing generalized models and some potential applications of aging models. The research revealed that it is possible to develop and implement such models for unmodified binders.Key words: asphalt, aging, RTFOT, DSR, binder rheology, shear modulus, phase angle.

Sasobit additives with different dosages were added into 70# and 90# virgin asphalt binders to prepare WMA binders. The rheological properties, includingG∗andδ, were measured by using DSR at the temperature ranging from 46°C to 70°C, and the effects of temperature, additive dosage and aging onG∗/sin⁡δ, critical temperature, and H-T PG were investigated. The results indicate that WMA additive improvesG∗but reducesδ, and the improvement on 70# virgin binder is more significant.G∗/sin⁡δexponentially decreases with the increasing temperature but linearly increases with the increasing additive dosage. Aging effect weakens the interaction between binder and additive but significantly increases the binder’s viscosity; that is whyG∗/sin⁡δis higher after short-term aging. In addition, the critical temperature increases with the increasing additive dosage, and the additive dosage should be more than 3% and 5% to improve H-T PG by one grade for 70# and 90# virgin binder, respectively.

DBSA was used as a solubilizer together with conventional rejuvenator (CR) to produce a solubilized rejuvenator (SR), two kinds of aged bitumen involving TFOT aged bitumen and PAV aged bitumen were obtained by thin film oven test (TFOT) and pressurized aging vessel (PAV), respectively. Effects of CR and SR on the physical properties, chemical components, colloidal structure and micro-morphology of TFOT aged bitumen and PAV aged bitumen were investigated. Testing results of physical properties and chemical components indicated that CR and SR can replenish aged bitumen with necessary aromatics, TFOT aged bitumen that chemical component variation deteriorates its physical properties. With regard to PAV aged bitumen, of which the performance attenuation lies in chemical components variation and colloidal structure transformation, even if the content of CR reached up to 10 wt %, the regenerated bitumen cannot meet the regeneration requirement yet due to its definite influence on colloidal structure transformation, comparatively, sulfonic group in SR can react with the superficial atoms of asphaltenes to reform a solvation layer to facilitate the colloidal structure transformation of PAV aged bitumen, performance and beelike structure of regenerated PAV aged with bitumen with 10 wt % SR were approximated to that of virgin bitumen.

Sbs Modified Asphalt

Microscale flyash/SBS composite modified asphalts (CMA) were prepared by melt blending. Rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) was employed to study the anti-aging property. Both flyash and SBS disperse homogeneously in the base asphalt, which lead to an improvement in terms of toughness, strength, and thermal stability. Moreover, microscale flyash plays a significant role in the CMA. The effect of flyash on the properties of SBS modified asphalt appears as a decreasing penetration, an increasing softening point, and a decreasing ductility. The anti-deformation ability under high temperature of the CMA improved significantly. In comparison with that of the base asphalt, the softening point of the CMA decreases after aging, which maybe attribute to the different rheological properties between the CMA and the base asphalt. Compared to that of SBS modified asphalt, the anti-aging property of CMA improved significantly. This demonstrates that the microstructure of flyash can prevent oxygen from diffusing and permeating.

Electroplated nickel manufactured via the LIGA process, offers the possibility of stronger structure and connectors in a micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS). In this study, the mechanical properties of electroplated Nickel thin film were characterized using two methods; tension test and nano-indentation test. In tension test, a linear guided motor was used as actuator and the applied force was measured using a load cell. Strain was measured with a dual microscope that obtains the displacement of two separated zone by the tracking process of the image captured with CCD camera. In indentation test, elastic modulus was measured using a CSM(continuous stiffness measurement) module. Two types of specimen were prepared in the same wafer and tested after four months of aging, which reduces the variation of properties caused by fabrication condition and aging effect. The tension specimen is 15 µm thick and 300 µm wide. The indentation specimen is also 15 µm thick. Young's modulus were measured by two different testing methods and compared quantitatively.

Aging of asphalt binders is one of the main causes of its hardening, which negatively affects the cracking and fatigue resistance of asphalt binders. Understanding asphalt aging is crucial to improve the durability of asphalt pavements. In this regard, this study aims at understanding and differentiating the effect of temperature and oxygen uptake on the aging mechanisms of unmodified asphalt binders. For that, four laboratory aging procedures were employed. The two standardized procedures, rolling thin-film oven test (RTFOT) and pressure aging vessel (PAV), were considered to simulate the short-term and long-term aging of the asphalt binders, respectively. In addition, two thin-film aging test procedures, the nitrogen atmosphere oven aging test (NAAT) and ambient atmosphere oven aging test (OAAT) were employed to assess the effect of thermal and oxidative aging on unmodified asphalt binder properties. The NAAT procedure is based on the principle that the inert gas minimizes the oxidative aging. The rheological and chemical characterization showed that the high temperatures considered during the NAAT procedure did not change the properties of the unmodified asphalt binders. Therefore, it can be hypothesized that no significant thermal and oxidative aging was observed during NAAT aging procedure for the considered binders and that oxidative aging is the main cause for the hardening.

Effect of three de-icing additives: NaCl, wrapped NaCl (W-NaCl) and Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) on thermo-oxidative and ultraviolet aging properties of bitumen were investigated by thin film oven test (TFOT), pressure aging vessel (PAV) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation test. The experimental result illustrated that compared with bitumen with MF, the softening point and viscosity of bitumen with NaCl and W-NaCl increased and the ductility decreased distinctly after TFOT, PAV and UV aging, indicating that NaCl and W-NaCl accelerated the aging of bitumen. However, for bitumen with LDHs, the softening point and viscosity decreased significantly, the ductility increased after aging, which demonstrated that the anti-aging properties of bitumen were improved effectively by LDHs.
