EVALUATION OF BITUMINOUS MIXES WITH EPOXY-MODIFIED ASPHALT BINDERS

| description | Road surfaces have long been made with bituminous mix because of its low
cost and versatile applications. However, environmental variables, traffic loads, and ageing frequently affect its endurance. Many additives have been introduced to overcome these problems, and epoxy resin has shown great promise. This study evaluates bituminous binder and bituminous mixes with different percentages of epoxy modification. Epoxy asphalt binder's (EAB) rheological properties were described. Following that, an evaluation was conducted on the engineering properties of an epoxy asphalt mixture (EAM). The results demonstrated that the rheological properties of EAB outperform those of neat binders. Furthermore, the outcomes demonstrated that EAM had better moisture damage performance in terms of static immersion test and retained Marshall stability test than the conventional hot dense graded bituminous mixes. According to the results, the ideal content for both VG 30 and VG 40 binders is 2% epoxy modification. Out of all the mix permutations, bituminous mixes with 2% epoxy modification yielded the best results. Comparing blends with control mixes or unmodified bituminous mixes, on the other hand, revealed a lower resistance to moisture damage than mixes with 3% epoxy modification with both binders. The study concludes that epoxy resin can significantly improve the performance and longevity of asphalt concrete roadways, offering benefits to the road construction industry. |
