Abstract

The traffic concentration and the temperature rise are considered as the main causes of road aggravation. These constraints require the exploration of new research directions to improve the performance of the ordinary bituminous concrete. This study presents the evaluation of the workability, Marshall Parameters, and the stiffness modulus (for three level of temperature) of rubber modified bituminous concrete using gyratory compactor, Marshall Method and the Nottingham University apparatus. For this another type of crumb rubber compacted with zinc oxide, made of waste comes from the recovery of soles of shoes and carpet of vehicles is used in order to improve the performance of asphalt on the one hand and to preserve the environment from pollution on the other hand. The crumb rubber is added to the mixture using the dry process. For the identification of the mechanical behaviour, impact tests have been conducted according to the gyratory compactor test and Marshall Method. To assess these properties a control and modified mix were prepared with optimum content of 40/50 pen bitumen, different fractions of aggregates and various percentages of the crumb rubber. The percentages of the rubber add to the mix are estimated using test of workability. The results obtained of the properties of modified mix indicate that the introduction of rubber to the control mix at deferent percentages of crumb rubber (0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75%) gave a workable mixture. However, the best performances of the mixture are obtained at a percentage of 0.25%. These performances indicate higher resistance to permanent deformation and rutting.
