Effects of filler particle size and ageing on the fatigue behaviour of bituminous mastics
Graphical abstract Display Omitted
Highlights Zero shear viscosity values of mastics increase remarkably in response to ageing. Finer filler particles improve fatigue behavior, regardless of mastic age. Addition of fine filler particles to a mastic reduces its sensitivity to fatigue. Fatigue response is related to the morphological characteristics of mastic surface.
Abstract Fatigue cracking is caused by repeated traffic loads and environmental conditions (temperature, ageing, etc.); it predominantly initiates within the mastic phase in the form of micro-cracks. In this sense, bituminous mastics (comprised of a binder, filler and entrapped air) play a significant role in the anti-fatigue performance of asphalt mixes. In this paper, the effects of filler particle size and ageing on the fatigue behaviour of bituminous mastics were evaluated. Prior to this, the rheological properties of the studied samples were evaluated using physical tests and frequency sweep tests. Moreover, the mastic morphology and filler distribution inside a bituminous matrix were characterized by Scan Electronic Microscope (SEM). The results revealed that ageing had a greater effect than filler particle size on the rheological behaviour of SBS-modified bituminous mastics, especially for mastics containing coarse filler particles. According to the ageing responses derived from log-log fatigue law plots, aged mastics containing coarse filler particles had higher slopes (represented by coefficient B) and lower intercepts (identified by coefficient A) than un-aged mastics. However, opposite fatigue behaviour was observed with fine filler granules, where coefficient B slightly decreased while coefficient A slightly increased after ageing. In addition, mastic morphology and filler dispersion inside a bituminous matrix were characterized by SEM, providing insight to possible relationships between morphological characteristics and fatigue performance.
