Performance improvements of asphalt mixtures by dry addition of polymeric additives
This paper shows the results of an experimental study concerning the development and optimization of asphalt mixtures for binder and base courses, improved with specifically engineered additives. The focus was on the mechanical improvements of the mixtures as achievable via dry modification with polymeric additives by making use of aggregate and bitumen of average quality, as locally available, in order to limit the consumption of virgin materials. The results allowed interesting conclusions to be drawn about the use of polymeric additives for these mixtures. In particular, the modified mixtures proved to have better performance in terms of both permanent deformation resistance and stiffnes…
Prestazioni migliorate con additivi polimerici
IMPIEGARE I MATERIALI DISPONIBILI SUL TERRITORIO E AD UN TEMPO GARANTIRE ELEVATE PERFORMANCE E DURABILITÀ, NONCHÈ CANTIERABILITÀ ANCHE IN CONDIZIONI CLIMATICHE ESTREME: È LA GRANDE SFIDA DELL’”OTTIMIZZAZIONE” DELLE PAVIMENTAZIONI STRADALI VINTA DALL’INGEGNERIA DEI MATERIALI CON L’AIUTO DEI COMPOUND CONTENENTI POLIMERI. DI SEGUITO, L’ILLUSTRAZIONE DI UN CASO ESEMPLARE DI MODIFICA MIGLIORATIVA DI MISCELE BITUMINOSE, GIÀ PRESENTATO AL RECENTE CONGRESSO TIS 2017 DELL’AIIT A ROMA.
