Asphalt Concrete Modification with Plastomers: A Case Study Conducted 7 Years after Construction

Ever-increasing traffic loads, in addition to hot climates, have always been a challenge for both road pavement authorities and engineers. Technically, asphalt binder concrete modifiers that generally increase the viscosity provide higher resistance permanent deformation optimal choice. In this paper, layers of motorway constructed 2015 were studied. pavement, plastomeric polymeric compound synthetic-cellulose composite fibers containing polymers used its course surface course, respectively. The performance mixtures additives allowed thinner pavement. This study addressed quality assurance monitoring plan spanning 7 years, consisting core mechanical tests, including stiffness moduli strength situ structural analysis by means falling weight deflectometer (FWD), profile characterization IRI SCRIM, experts’ visual inspections. Overall, test results complied with specifications, no distress or failure was recorded after years being under service. could indicate plastomers dry method can be considered as reliable alternatives high production.
