The effect of retreated coal wastes as filler on the performance of asphalt mastics and mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of coal waste ash (CWA, retreated from CWs by reheating) on asphalt mastics and mixtures, and tried to explain this effect from the physical and chemical characteristics of CWA.

Effect of volcanic ash filler on thermal viscoelastic property of SBS modified asphalt mastic

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of volcanic ash (VA) fine filler and SBS modifier on the thermal stability of asphalt mastics was investigated, and it was found that the modification of asphalt by SBS was the dominant factor for improving the high and low temperature performance of mastics.

Evaluation of ethylene–acrylic acid copolymer (EAA)-modified asphalt: Fundamental investigations on mechanical and rheological properties

TL;DR: In this paper, three different types of EAA with different acrylic acid content were adopted to modify the asphalt, and the results showed that, with adding more EAAs, softening point and viscosity of the modified asphalt were both increasing while penetration decreased.

Polymer-Modified Asphalt Cements Used in the Road Construction Industry: Basic Principles

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic principles of bitumen-polymer compatibility, the mechanism for modification, and the effect of the components on the properties of the modified binders are presented along with several specific problems related to the use of these products.

Classification of asphalt binders into simple and complex binders

TL;DR: The NCHRP 9-10 Project as mentioned in this paper evaluated the suitability of using the Superpave binder and mixture test system for modified asphalt binders, and the results indicated that modified binders will be used more in the future and that there are major concerns regarding the applicability of the superpave PG-grading system to modified asphalt binder.

Characteristics of polymers and polymer-modified binders

TL;DR: In this article, the properties of a number of polymers commonly proposed for polymer-modified bitumens (PMBs) were studied to suggest a way to select the polymer suitable for the required application; the prediction of the performance in the final application would allow bypass of the tests on PMBs and asphalt mixtures.
