EFFECTS OF RTFOT AGING ON SELECTED PROPERTIES OF BITUMEN 50/70 MODIFIED WITH RUBBER AND SYNTHETIC WAX
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents the results and analysis of the study devoted to the effect of RTFOT aging on selected properties of bitumen 50/70 modified with rubber and Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax. The bitumen used in the tests had 10% and 15% addition of crumb rubber and 1÷2% addition of synthetic wax. The graphs prepared using the Statistica program illustrate the results of tests carried out to determine penetration, softening point, Fraass breaking point, elastic recovery, tensile force and viscosity. Other parameters established in the tests included the penetration index and the temperature range of plasticity. The tests were repeated for all the test series following the RTFOT aging. The results showed that RTFOT aging has a significant effect on the properties of bitumen 50/70.
