The main reasons and ways of bitumen modification by polymers were examined. Positive and negative aspects of the usage of different polymer modifiers (elastomers, thermoplastic elastomers, reactive polymers, thermoplastics) were analysed. The authors’ achievements concerning modification of bitumen by various polymers, namely indene-coumarone, petroleum, phenol-formaldehyde and epoxy resins, were described.

Bitumen Modification

Recycling of waste plastics (WP) denotes an effectual method to dispose the post-consumer products for possible alternative way to obtain new materials with good properties. With this aim the influences of WP and maleic anhydride (MA) grafted WPs (MA-g-WP) were investigated as the bitumen modifiers for paving applications. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis established the effective grafting of MA with the waste plastic (WP). Polymer modified bitumen (PMB) binders were analyzed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OP) in an effort to characterize the bitumen/modifier interphase morphology. The conventional rheological tests such as penetration test, softening point, and ductility results indicate that the degree of polymer modifications are function of the nature of modifier, bitumen–modifier compatibility, and modifier concentration. It has also been confirmed that the morphology observed by SEM and optical microscopy revealed the compatibility between MA-g-WP and bitumen, and the storage stability of binder was improved significantly compared with WP modified bitumen (WPMB) binders. Consequently, the use of grafted modifier with polar site can be considered as a suitable alternation for modification of binder in pavement by expecting their chances for better performance during service.

Bitumen Modification

The growing need for high quality bituminous mixtures in road construction, rehabilitation and maintenance is currently satisfied by means of techniques to produce polymer-modified bitumen, or by the addition of additives to mixtures during in-plant mixing operations. A rigorous rheological approach in the study of the bitumen modification process enables researchers to rationally compare different modifying agents and to evaluate their relative efficiency for specific field applications. As far as additives are concerned, the binder is not the only element involved in the evaluation; both binding mastics and bituminous mixtures must be evaluated to get a complete understanding of the characteristics. Moreover, the advantages that may stem from the use of fibers should be carefully taken into consideration since they may offer alternative strategies for the enhancement of bituminous mixtures. As a result of these observations, the authors have devised an experimental research project focused on the analysis of the effects of different types and dosages of cellulose-based fibers on the main performance-related properties of bituminous road materials: compaction properties, volumetric characteristics and mechanical performance. This paper provides an overview of the results obtained and some details of the specific protocols followed during the research project.

The current research focuses on investigating the effect of using reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) on performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA) prepared with polymer modified bitumen (PMB) binder. This PMB used for the first time with HMA contained RAP. The mechanical properties and performance of HMA were assessed using several standard tests including Marshall, indirect tensile strength, creep compliance, and wheel track test. The RAP replacement was conducted up to 70% of total aggregate in HMA with an increment of 10%. The results of investigation showed, that the use of PMB binder prepared by addition novolac (phenol formaldehyde solid resin) and hexamine to conventional bitumen, significantly improved the performance of HMA contained RAP. Also, the optimum percentage of RAP replacement was found to be 50% of total aggregate in HMA. For this level of replacement, the rut depth reduced up to 38% of its original value.

Porous asphalt (PA) mixtures are more environmentally friendly but have lower durability than dense-graded mixtures. Additives can be incorporated into PA mixtures to enhance their mechanical strength; however, they may compromise the hydraulic characteristics, increase the total cost of pavement, and negatively affect the environment. In this paper, PA mixtures were produced with 5 different types of additives including 4 fibers and 1 filler. Their performances were compared with the reference mixtures containing virgin bitumen and polymer-modified bitumen. The performance of all mixes was assessed using: mechanical, hydraulic, economic, and environmental indicators. Then, the Delphi method was applied to compute the relative weights for the parameters in multi-criteria decision-making methods. Evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS), technique for order of the preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), and weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) were employed to rank the additives. According to the results obtained, aramid pulp displayed comparable and, for some parameters such as abrasion resistance, even better performance than polymer-modified bitumen, whereas cellulose fiber demonstrated the best performance regarding sustainability, due to economic and environmental benefits.
