Computer simulations of SBS modified bitumen and carbon nanotube/SBS were carried out to have research on the mechanism capacitating effect nanotubes SBS-modified bitumen. Through molecular dynamics simulation, binding energy (Ebinding), radial distribution function (g(r)) mixing (Emixing) composites analyzed according Velocity-Verlet algorithm, enhancement compatibility was quantified influenc...

due to performance grade  )pg) zonation of different parts in iran and poor properties of 60/70 penetration grade bitumens for pavement applications, suitable  polymer modifed  bitumen was  produced.  to  fulfll  this  purpose, different pmbs samples were produced using 60/70 penetration grade bitumen and  various  percentages  of vb  (20  and  25%), with  different  percentages  of  sbs calpre...

The ageing of the bitumen during storage, mixing, transport and laying on the road, as well as in service life, are the most important problems presented by the use of bitumen in pavements. This paper investigates the possibility of using waste cooking oil (WCO), which is a waste material that pollutes landfills and rivers, as an alternative natural rejuvenating agent for aged bitumen to a cond...

In this paper, the effect of adding recycled glass powder (RGP) as a third component in polymer modified bitumen is studied. RGP and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is added to the base bitumen in order to prepare modified binders and mixtures. The initial study is performed to determine physical properties of unmodified, SBR modified and RGP-SBR modified asphalt binders which prove RGP's compat...

bituminous emulsion insulators are types of bituminous emulsions groups composed of different grades of bitumen emulsified in water by bentonite and emulsifiers at 80-90oc. these emulsions are water resistant after drying andtheir physical and mechanical properties are superior in comparison to bitumen properties. iranian climate, because of variety and extreme variations in temperature imposes...

In recent decades, porous asphalt has been extended for surface drainage in various regions throughout the world. The permeability of porous asphalt has an important role in the performance of asphalt pavements in the rainy weather. The most remarkable problem related to the porous asphalt is its short service time. Considerable efforts have been made to enhance the mechanical properties of por...
