The aim of this study is evaluating the interaction between several base pen grade asphalt binders (35/50, 50/70, 70/100, 160/220) and two different recycled plastics (EVA and HDPE), for a set of new polymer modified binders produced with different amounts of both recycled plastics. After analysing the results obtained for the several polymer modified binders evaluated in this study, including ...

The present research aims to conduct laboratory assessment on fatigue phenomenon in warm mix asphalt modified with nano-silica and including reclaimed asphalt pavement materials by the aid of review on self-healing behavior and measurement of validity of laboratory results by modeling via neural artificial network in neutral network of SPSS software. For this purpose, 2% weight of sasobit and 3...

A new interpretive algorithm has been developed for bitumen spectra analysis in tar sands. This algorithm utilizes Low Field NMR method for measurements. With the use of appropriate basic components spectra database the algorithm extracts information on bitumen contents, immovable and movable water saturations. The basic components spectra database can be built by analysis of spectra for simila...

We conducted a cross-shift study with 66 bitumen-exposed mastic asphalt workers and 49 construction workers without exposure to bitumen. Exposure was assessed using personal monitoring of airborne bitumen exposure, urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP), and the sum of 1-, 2 + 9-,3-,4-hydroxyphenanthrene (OHPH). Genotoxic effects in WBC were determined with nonspecific DNA adduct levels of 8-oxo-7,8-d...

This review paper shows several sections of bitumen, asphalt mixtures, polymers, and waste plastic in pavement engineering. The reviews evaluates the influence using polymer improving rheological engineering properties modified binder mixtures. Evaluation design stone mastic mixtures are reviewed. Reports studies had investigated advantages importance bitumen modification; however, they yet sho...
