Abstract
The present study was conducted to specifically evaluate performance of asphalt binder modified by polymers and nanomaterial additives. Nano-silica, EVA (ethylene–vinyl-acetate copolymer), and SBS (styrene–butadiene–styrene) were used as asphalt binder modifiers against permanent deformation. Multiple stress creep-recovery (MSCR) tests were performed to scrutinize resistance of the asphalt binder to rutting at three temperatures of 58, 64, and 70 °C. In the MSCR test, non-linear properties of asphalt binder were assessed. In this paper, three critical parameters of non-recoverable creep compliance (Jnr), recovery creep percentage (R%), and the difference between non-recoverable creep compliance at high and low stresses (Jnrdiff) were measured. Besides, loading capacity of the modified asphalt binder was evaluated. The results represented that addition of EVA, SBS, and nano-silica increased rutting resistance and also delayed elasticity. In addition, it was observed that addition of these additives as a modifier to asphalt binder leads to the increased traffic loading grades. In improving the non-recoverable creep compliance parameter, the best performance was related to EVA, SBS, and nano-silica, respectively. In improving the recovery creep percentage, the procedure was the same and EVA had the best performance, with the difference that in this parameter nano-silica performed better than SBS. It was also found that 6% of nano-silica could bring performance of PG 58-22 closer to PG 64-22 asphalt binder.
