Abstract: In this study, the usability of calcium carbonate-polyethylene compound (PEC) was investigated as an alternative to styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), which is one of the most used additives in bitumen modification. The ...

Abstract: Using hard and polymer-modified binders in stone mastic asphalt mixtures reduces workability considerably. In this study, Sasobit (Sasolwax, Worthdamm, Hamburg) is used in bitumen to increase the workability and efficiency ...

Abstract: In this study, the effects of asphaltite and long-term aging (LTA) on the mechanical properties of hot-mix asphalt were investigated. The asphaltite entrained as filler at five different proportions into the hot-mix asphalt ...

Abstract: In this study, the performances of bitumen and asphalt mixtures modified by crumb rubber (CR) were compared with those modified by styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS). The resultant mixtures were evaluated for their rheological ...

Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of field-compaction conditions on the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete and then compare the properties with those of the specimens prepared with different Marshall ...

Abstract: In this study, the mixes prepared using crumb rubber (CR) and binders with warm mix additives were aged through various aging methods (1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks at 60°C in the laboratory; 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 months under ...

Abstract: Recently, various types of additives are being used to enhance the properties of bitumen. Until now, few researchers have handled the utilization of different additives in the same binder. In this study, styrene-butadiene-styrene ...

Abstract: Capsules containing waste mineral oil can delay the maintenance of asphalt mixtures by preventing the spread of cracks. As a result of the encounter between the crack and capsule, the capsule breaks and releases the ...
