Use of Nano-Clay in Asphalt Binder Modification
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
In order to increase the life of bituminous pavement, performance of bitumen needs to be modified. The study was carried out to explore the addition effect of nanoclay on physical and mechanical propertieslike stiffness, fatigue resistance, strength, and aging resistance. In this paper potential of modified bitumen with nanoclay is tested, rheological test and mechanical test containing unmodified and nanomodified bitumen were carried out. Impact of nanoclay on aging and rheology of binder is discussed. The impact of nanoclay modifiers on unaged&aged bitumen was measured with Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)and on asphalt mixture with the direct tensile strength, fatigue, resilience modulus test at lower temperature and dynamic creep test at high temperatures and addition of nanoclayin asphalt mixture, the results showed remarkable improvement in the nanoclay modified asphalt binder inmechanical properties & aging resistanceperformance.
