Adhesion of Bituminous Binders With Aggregates in the Context of Surface Dressing Technology for Road Pavements Treatment

Abstract

In this article the study is done for the adhesion of aggregates coming from various granite quarries of Ukraine with bituminous binder, namely with bitumen emulsion – for application in surface dressing technology for road pavements treatment. In the article there are used the Ukrainian and European testing methods for determination of adhesion in the “bitumen – aggregate” system. According to the Ukrainian method, there was determined the adhesion of residual binder with the chips surface after boiling in the distilled water and in the solution of glycerin and distilled water. As the European method, for the studies there was used Vialit Plate Shock Test. There were developed three bitumen emulsion formulations.

Determining the residual service life of polymer-modified asphalt concrete pavement on road bridges

“…A review of existing methods and criteria for assessing the crack resistance of asphalt concrete pavement against the effects of temperature and the action of vehicles led to conclusions that previous studies were fragmented [8,9]. Assessment of crack resistance of the coating is carried out separately under the action on the coating of the ambient temperature and separately the action of the transport load.…”

“…From the review of works [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] it follows that the assessment of the residual resource of asphalt pavement on reinforced concrete road bridges, taking into account the influence of temperature factors with the influence of time and the action of transport load, is a necessary and urgent task of scientific research. It is also necessary to devise a unified methodological basis for a comprehensive method for calculating the residual life of asphalt concrete pavement using SBR polymers on reinforced concrete road bridges, taking into account the joint effect of temperature (seasonal annual and daily temperatures) and vehicles.…”

Adhesion in Bitumen/Aggregate System: Adhesion Mechanism and Test Methods

“…The disadvantage of these methods is that during the test there is both adhesive and cohesive separation of the bituminous film, and also there can be inhomogeneity of values over the entire sample area [19,26,27]. Vialit Plate Test [28,29] used in European countries is also one of the typical for the peeling methods. The essence of the method is that on a metal plate is applied a bitumen layer and then 100 or 50 grains of stone material are glued by the appropriate fractions.…”
