Article Abstract
To enhance the properties of SBS and crumb rubber-modified asphalts, four different amounts (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) of castor oil were added to crumb rubber-modified asphalts to mitigate the adverse effects of high levels of fine crumb rubber particles on the aging resistance of SBS and crumb rubber-modified asphalt. Initially, a conventional test was conducted to assess the preliminary effects of bio-oil on the high-temperature and anti-aging properties of SBS and crumb rubber-modified asphalt. Subsequently, dynamic shear rheometer and bending beam rheometer tests were employed to evaluate the impact of bio-oil on the high- and low-temperature and anti-fatigue properties of SBS and crumb rubber-modified asphalt. Finally, fluorescence microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to examine the micro-dispersion state of the modifier and functional groups in bio-oil, SBS and crumb rubber composite-modified asphalts. The experimental results indicated that bio-oil increased the penetration of SBS and crumb rubber-modified asphalt, decreased the softening point and viscosity, and significantly improved its aging resistance. The addition of bio-oil enhanced the anti-fatigue properties of SBS and crumb rubber-modified asphalt. The optimal amount of added bio-oil was identified. Bio-oil also positively influenced the low-temperature properties of SBS and crumb rubber-modified asphalt. Although the addition of bio-oil had some adverse effects on the asphalt's high-temperature properties, the asphalt mixture modified with bio-oil, SBS, and crumb rubber still exhibited superior high-temperature properties compared to unmodified asphalt. Furthermore, fluorescence microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results demonstrated that bio-oil can be uniformly dispersed in asphalt, forming a more uniform cross-linked structure and thereby enhancing the aging resistance of SBS and crumb rubber-modified asphalt. The modification process involved the physical blending of bio-oil, SBS, and crumb rubber within the asphalt. Comprehensive research confirmed that the addition of bio-oil has a significant and positive role in enhancing the properties of SBS and crumb rubber-modified asphalt with different composite crumb rubber particle size ratios.

This study systematically investigates continuous and discrete spectra methodologies for determining time-domain viscoelastic response functions (creep compliance and relaxation modulus) in asphalt mixtures. Through complex modulus testing of three asphalt mixtures (base asphalt mixture, SBS-modified asphalt mixture, and crumb rubber-modified asphalt mixture), we established unified master curves using a Generalized Sigmoidal model with approximated Kramers-Kronig (K-K) relations. Discrete spectra can be obtained by Prony series of Maxwell/Kelvin modeling, while continuous spectra derived through integral transformation produced complementary response functions by numerical integration.

Gap-graded asphalt mixtures like stone mastic asphalt (SMA), porous asphalt (PA), and asphalt mixtures for very thin layers (fr. Béton Bitumineuse Très Mince-BBTM) are usually made with the use of SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) polymer-modified bitumen. This is a binder that allows one to achieve the required parameters, but at the same time, its use increases the costs of making pavement layers.

The rapid rise in greenhouse emissions has intensified climate change, highlighting the urgent need to assess its impact on critical infrastructure. Asphalt pavements, are particularly vulnerable to the stresses caused by climate change including rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns. The paper examines the impact of global warming on asphalt pavements using the Prophet model under three scenarios, focusing especially on variations in the performance grade of bitumen obtained from 34 synoptic stations of Iran.

The significant growth in road infrastructure worldwide over the last decade has resulted in a notable increase in the demand for asphalt binder. However, the utilization of asphalt binder in the road industry poses challenges to environmental sustainability and economic standpoints. The application of vehicular loads and exposure to environmental factors throughout the service life of roads contribute to the deterioration of binder properties, such as hardening and aging, ultimately leading to premature road failure.

Article Synopsis
- This study tests composite modification techniques to enhance the performance of recycled asphalt, using high-viscosity agents (HVA) and crumb rubber materials (CRM) combined with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) to create modified asphalt samples.
- The performance of four types of asphalt mixtures, including virgin and three recycled mixtures with 50% reclaimed asphalt content, was analyzed through various tests, revealing that higher kinematic viscosity leads to increased optimum asphalt content and enhanced adhesion in dry conditions.
- Results indicate that while SBS-CRM significantly boosts moisture sensitivity and low-temperature cracking resistance compared to other modified asphalts, the choice of modification method should align with climate and loading conditions for optimal performance and sustainability.
