Abstract
In Vietnam, the increased traffic loading and traffic volumes require higher quality of road pavement materials. In recent years, the SBS (styrene–butadiene–styrene) modified asphalt mixtures are used largely in road pavement construction that achieved good results. This paper presents some experimental tests on the SBS polymer modified bitumens with various SBS additive contents. The conventional tests (penetration, softening point and elastic recovery tests) of asphalt binders were performed. In addition, the complex shear modulus and the performance grade (PG) tests were also carried out. The experimental results showed that the SBS additive enhances significantly the mechanical properties and the performance grade of the original bitumen. The effect of aging when mixing the binder can be considered to be negligible. The master curve of the complex shear modulus of the original and SBS polymer modified bitumens were built and helps to evaluate the linear viscoelastic behaviour of the tested materials. The effects of the SBS content and the SBS mixing time on the mechanical properties of the asphalt binder were clearly observed.References
