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 and mechanical performances by different experimental techniques such as rheological bitumen tests, i.e., dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), bending beam rheometer (BBR), and hot mixture performance tests, that is, indirect tensile stiffness modulus, fatigue, semicircular bending, and toughness index. Experimental studies show that it is necessary to use twice as much CR as SBS to reach the same performance attained by SBS. CR modification at high additive content exhibits higher elastic response, i.e., recoverable strain, than the SBS-modified mixture. While the resistance to crack initiation of CR-modified mixtures increases with increasing additive content, the resistance to crack propagation decreases dramatically according to fatigue and semicircular bending tests.
Öz Yük ve yolcu taşımacılığının büyük oranda karayoluyla yapıldığı ülkemizde gelişen otomotiv sektörünün de etkisiyle daha yüksek yük kapasiteli kamyonların yollarda olması daha dayanıklı yolların imalatı ihtiyacını doğurmaktadır. Zemin taşıma gücünün artması esnek kaplamalarda maliyeti en yüksek kısım olan üst yapının daha dayanıklı ve daha az maliyetli olmasına sebep olacaktır. Bu çalışmada iki farklı zeminde yapılan C60B2 katyonik asfalt emülsiyonu ile stabilizasyonun zeminlerin Kaliforniya Taşıma Gücü (CBR) değerlerine etkileri incelenmiştir. CBR'da meydana gelen değişimin esnek üstyapı tabaka kalınlıklarına olan etkileri ise AASHTO 93 yöntemiyle tasarlanan üstyapı hesabıyla ortaya konmuştur. Sonuçta C60B2 ile stabilize edilmiş zeminlerde CBR artışıyla üstyapı tabakalarının kalınlığının belirgin ölçüde azaldığı ya da esnek üstyapının taşıma kabiliyetinin arttığı görülmüştür. Abstract In our country in which cargo and passenger transportation are mainly done on land routes, having more frequent higher load capacity trucks because of the improving automobile industry, necessitates more durable road constructions. The increase of the bearing capacity of soil enable cheaper and more durable superstructure, which is the most expensive part of flexible pavements. In this study, the effects on CBR value of two different soils which are stabilized with C60B2 cationic asphalt emulsion are investigated. Changing CBR values' effects on the thickness of flexible superstructure layers are revealed by the superstructure calculation which is designed by the AASHTO 93 method. Finally, it has been observed that on soils which are stabilized with C6B02, increase of CBR significantly decreases superstructure's layer thicknesses and improves flexible superstructure's bearing ratio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
