| Abstract |
Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is a popular practice in the pavement industry due to envi-ronmental and economic benefits. But, RAP must be processed and treated before being reused in new pavements for preventing premature failures. A widely adopted strategy consists of adding recycling agents, and specifically rejuvenators, to mitigate the aging of the RAP binder. From the circular economy perspective, also crumb rubber (CR) from end-of-life tyres have been used to prepare binders with enhanced properties. The actual possibility of using the RAP derived from removed and/or reprocessed pavements containing CR particles (CR-RAP) for the formulation of new suitable mixtures is still a little-explored topic. Moreover, the available rejuvenators tailored on RAP have not yet evidence of effectiveness in producing asphalt mixtures containing CR-RAP. For this purpose, unaged, aged and rejuvenated blends with and without CR were studied through a rheological characterisation to evaluate the potential restoration of their physical properties when a bio-based recycling agent is added. The results of viscosity, frequency sweep, creep -recovery and multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) tests have highlighted on the one hand the significant contribution of CR in reducing the accelerated aging effects of the binder, on the hand the effectiveness of the rejuvenator in restoring, more clearly at low temperatures, the rheological behaviour of the binders (above all for CRMB) similar to the unaged condition. |
