Evaluation of Fatigue and Rutting Behavior of Asphalt Binder Containing Warm Additive

摘要

In this research study, Sasobit as warm additive was used to modify original binder (60/70 penetration grade). The binder fatigue and rutting performance was evaluated through linear amplitude sweep (LAS) and multiple stress creep and recovery test, respectively. Results indicated that 3% Sasobit modified binder has the highest percent recovery value and the lowest J(nr) value, but had the highest sensitivity to a sudden increase in the stress level inside the asphalt mixture. The LAS test results demonstrated that the fatigue behavior of asphalt binders modified with 1% Sasobit is the highest one.
