“…The static creep test, a simple and effective test to appraise the resistance to permanent deformation (rutting) of various AC mixtures, was conducted [ 58 , 59 ]. By conducting this testing technique, the elastic (recoverable) and plastic (irrecoverable) deformations of AC mixtures can be captured [ 60 ].…”

Utilizing polymers for asphalt concrete (AC) mixture modification has many drawbacks that hinder its wide implementations for roadway construction. Recently, research on employing complementary materials, such as nanomaterials, to balance negative impacts of polymers while enhancing the AC mixture’s performance has received great attention. This study aimed to investigate the effect of incorporating nanoclay (NC) particles on the performance of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE)-modified AC mixture. A 60/70 asphalt binder was first modified with HDPE, and then NC particles were gradually added at a concentration of 1–4% by weight of the asphalt binder. The binders’ physical characteristics, storage stability, and chemical change were scrutinized. AC mixture performance, including pseudo-stiffness, moisture damage resistance, stripping susceptibility, and rutting tendency, was investigated. A statistical analysis on the experimental results was conducted using Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn tests. Test results showed that employing NC/HDPE significantly increased penetration index and thereby enhanced binder temperature sensitivity. Moreover, it prevented oxidation action and separation and, therefore, enhanced binder storage stability. Furthermore, incorporating NC amplified pseudo-stiffness and significantly improved resistance against moisture damage and stripping of HDPE-modified mixtures. Moreover, it improved both elastic (recoverable) and plastic (unrecoverable) deformations of mixtures. The most satisfactory results were attained when incorporating 3% of NC.

“…Marshall cylindrical specimens (101.6 mm diameter and 63.5 mm height) were used to run this test. The cylindrical specimens were immersed in a water bath at 60 o C for 30 mins immediately before testing to assess the rutting, while other specimens were tested at 20 o C to assess the fatigue behavior of the asphalt mixture [40]. As shown in Figure 2, the cylindrical specimen was placed in the center of two steel punches (25 mm diameter each) and then loaded vertically at a rate of 1.27 mm/min until collapse.…”

“…None of them investigated the effect of utilizing silica fume in high concentrations on the performance of the asphalt binder and mixture. Therefore, this study investigated the possibility of modifying the virgin bitumen with various contents of silica fume (2,4,6,8,20,30,40, and 50% by bitumen weight). Also, the fatigue, rutting, and moisture damage tendency of the silica fume modified-HMA mixture were evaluated.…”

This research aims to evaluate the mechanical properties of hot asphalt mixtures prepared using modified asphalt binders with various contents of nano-silica fume (NSF). The modification to virgin bitumen is done by shear mixing with NSF at low contents (2, 4, 6, and 8%) and high contents (20, 30, 40, and 50%) with bitumen weight. The homogeneity of the modified asphalts was assessed using Scanning Electron Microscopy. The rotational viscosity, softening point, and penetration tests were used to evaluate the rheological-physical properties of the modified asphalt binders. The stiffness, moisture damage, rutting, and fatigue of the hot mixes prepared with NSF-modified binders were evaluated using Marshall, indirect tensile strength, and double punching tests. The results showed a significant improvement in the rheological-physical properties of the modified binders with high content compared Aboelmagd et al., Evaluation of Hot Mix Asphalt and Binder Performance Modified with … to low content of NSF. Therefore, the modified binders with 30%, 40%, and 50% of NSF were selected to prepare NSF-modified mixtures. The results showed that asphalt mixtures incorporating 30, 40, and 50% NSF-modified binders were more resistant to moisture damage, rutting, and fatigue cracking compared to the control mixture. The novelty in this research is to produce a modified asphalt mixture with half a quantity of bitumen while achieving a high performance compared to the control mixture.

“…Aging bitumen was mixed with 2, 4, 6 mass% and 8 mass% of waste non-biodegradable polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and make the data gained, we can deduce that Viscoelastic and mechanical traits of the aged bitumen showed that using 6 mass% WFPVC into the aged bitumen resulted in the most increase in the softening point (about 11 °C), shore 'A' hardness, and tensile strength compared with the blank sample [13]. Wen et al (2012) were performed the IDT tests in accordance with AASHTO T322, PG 58-28 asphalt, two types of aggregates: recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), and virgin aggregate (basalt) were used, they concluded that the IDT decreased when the RCA percentage increased [14].…”

Recycling can be considered as one of the measures of sustainable methods. The physical traits of the asphalt mixture under the influence of accelerated aging (Long and Short–Term) for asphalt concrete were assessed. Asphalt cement (40-50), aggregate with 12.5 mm nominal extreme size and limestone dust as filler of the mineral was used for the preparation of asphalt concrete mixture. At the optimum content of the asphalt and asphalt of 0.5 percent below and above the optimum value, specimens were prepared by using Marshall Method. Two types of polymers as recycling agents were used (Polyethylene of Low Density and Crumb Rubber) with (0.5, 1 and 1.5) % by weight of the binder. The indirect tensile test was used for the mixtures at 25 ºC and double punch test at 60 ºC. It was determined that the use of (asphalt binder mixed with rubber) as the agent of recycling showed improved performance than the other kind of recycling agent. The indirect tensile strength at 40 ˚C of the recycled mixture was higher than that the control mixture. Punching shear strength was decreased by 84 %, temperature susceptibility was decreased by 69.6 % and the resistance to moisture damage increases by3.3 % at optimum asphalt content.
