THE IMPACT OF AGING ON WATER AND FROST RESISTANCE OF ASPHALT CONCRETE WITH LOW – TEMPERATURE BITUMENthan that of traditional bitumen. Such asphaltconcrete is more resistant to permanent deformations.The use of the low – viscosity bitumen resulted insignificant increase in stability of asphalt concrete.A considerable difference between static modulus andMarshall stiffness of asphalt concrete with diabasechippings is the increased void fraction content.In the graphs presenting changes of the physicaland mechanical parameters under the aging process,asphalt concrete with the traditional 35/50 bitumenwas denoted with the letter Z e.g. BA-DZ (asphaltconcrete with diabase aggregate and the 35/50bitumen) and with the letter O e.g. BA-DO when theOlexobit 30 NV bitumen was used.The analysis of the results of stability changes ofdiabase, quarzite and gabbro asphalt concrete afterthe aging process and changes of its parameters arepresented in Figure 3.During the short and long term aging an increase instability of asphalt concrete is observed (regardless of thekind of bitumen and aggregate). However, the increasein stability of asphalt concrete produced from the low– viscosity bitumen during the aging process (STOA/NS, LTOA/NS and LTOA/STOA) occurs more slowlythan in case of the traditional bitumen. The increase instability of asphalt concrete with the low – viscositybitumen (regardless of the aging stage) is betweenca. 10 – 15% of the stability increase as compared toasphalt concrete produced from the traditional bitumen.Consequently, during the aging process asphalt concretewith the low – viscosity bitumen becomes less stiff thanin the case of the application of the traditional bitumen.Such asphalt concrete is more durable and resistant tothe effects of weathering and traffic. The parameters ofchanges of the static creep modulus after aging WKMare presented in Figure 4.Fig. 3. The impact of aging on the stability change ofasphalt concreteFig. 4. The impact of aging on changes of the static creepmodulus of asphalt concrete27
Marek Iwański, Grzegorz MazurekThe tests of static creep were done to verify thetest results from Marshall method. The static creepmodulus is determined at the temperature of 40 o Cunder loading of 0,1 MPa for 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20,30, 40, 50, 60 min with the 0.0001 mm/mm readingresolution of the deformation. From the results thefollowing parameters are determined:– deformation ε from the formulae:ε max= Δh / h [mm/mm] (1)where: Δh = the difference between the initial heightand the height after the loading period, and h = theinitial height:– the static creep modulus from the formulae(measurement error up to 0.1 MPa)M s=δ s/ ε max(2)where: δ s= compressive stress, which equalls 0.1MPa; and ε max= deformation after 1 h of loading.Changes of static creep of asphalt concrete afteraging (with regard to the kind of bitumen andaggregate) are similar to the results of Marshallstability after aging. However, the dynamics of thechanges of the static creep of asphalt concrete withthe low – viscosity bitumen is lower than in the casewhen the stability change of asphalt concrete afteraging was tested. During the STOA and LTOA agingthe static creep of asphalt concrete with the Olexobit30 NV bitumen was at most 10% lower (when thequarzite aggregate was used) than the static creep ofasphalt concrete with the 35/50 bitumen.The intensity of changes of the static creep ofasphalt concrete with both the low – viscosity andtraditional bitumen during the STOA and LTOAaging (STOA/LTOA) is similar. It implies that therate of change of static creep modulus of asphaltconcrete does not depend on the kind of bitumen.From the analyses of test results after aging wemay state that the aggregate used in its productionhas a significant impact on its mechanical properties.Quarzite aggregate is least suited, especially whenthe traditional 35/50 bitumen is applied. In this casethe stability and static creep change is highest ascompared to diabase and garbo aggregate.To assess resistance to water and frost the testswere performed to determine:- indirect tensile strength before and after curingcycles, simulating weathering on roads accordingto the American procedures – the AASHTO T283method. Its detailed description can be found in [2].Indirect tensile strength after curing, simulatingthe impact of temperatures below 0 o C, according tothe PANK 4302 standard is described in [2] and [5].An assessment of aging on water and frost resistancewas also made. The tests were focused only on thethe short – term aging due to its significant influenceon mechanical properties. The results are presentedin Table 4.Table 4.

Theaging has the worst effect in case of asphalt concretewith quarzite aggregate. In this case the binder wasthe 35/50 bitumen with the adhesive agent. Indirecttensile strength after aging (according to PANK4302) at 2 o C was 4.7 MPa (i.e. close to the criticalvalue of 4.8 MPa). Aging, especially short – termaging, did not cause excessive stiffening in the caseof asphalt concrete with the low – viscosity bitumen.Consequently, if the road surface is made from asphaltconcrete with quarzite aggregate it can experience low– temperature cracking during winter. However, this ismuch more likely to happen for asphalt concrete withthe traditional bitumen. The aging process has alsoan unfavourable impact on water and frost resistanceaccording to AASHTO T283 methododology. Theindirect tensile strength ratios after aging of asphaltconcrete produced from quarzite, diabase and gabbroaggregate with the 35/50 bitumen were below 75%.That is the limiting value of proper water and frostresistance. In the case of asphalt concrete producedfrom quarzite aggregate and the 35/50 bitumen, itlost its resistance in low temperatures as a result ofaging (the ratio was below the critical value of 70%).The indirect tensile strength ratios after aging processaccording to AASHTO and indirect tensile strengthaccording to PANK are presented in Figure 5.28
