Abstract
In the context of the wide demand of high quality of bitumen, this research was initiated with the objective of enhancing the asphalt mix properties. Variable additives percentages of nano-materials and polymer materials were, experimentally, investigated to determine their effect on asphalt properties. Three nano materials (namely; nano-silica, nano-kaolinite and nano-montmorlionite) and three polymer materials (namely; styrene butadiene styrene (SBS), polypropylene, and polyethylene) were considered. Modified specimens (with 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9% of nano and polymer materials) were prepared. Rheological properties tests were conducted (namely; penetration, softening, flash point and viscosity). In addition, mechanical properties tests were carried out (namely; Marshall, compression, and indirect tensile tests). Results were obtained and analyzed. They indicted that both types of additives enhanced rheological and mechanical properties of asphalt mix.
