R-Curve Characterization of Crumb Rubber Modified Asphalt Mixtures Incorporating Warm Mix Additive at Low Temperatures
In a previous research by authors, a methodology was developed to derive J-R curves for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures using an elastic-plastic approach where a comprehensive understanding of crack propagation regime could be achieved. In this research, the effect of crumb rubber modification of HMA binder is studied in terms of R-curves and crack propagation at low temperatures. Mode I Single edge notched beam (SE(B)) fracture tests were conducted in temperature levels of 0 °C, -10 °C, and -20 °C. PG58-22 and PG64-22 binders were used in the fabrication of HMA samples. Modified specimens consist of 20% crumb rubber along with the incorporation of 3% warm mix admixture. Crack growth resistance curves were obtained in SE(B) tests by means of image processing and recording of the progressive crack length. Elastic-plastic J-R curves revealed that crumb rubber modified mixtures exhibit higher crack growth resistance for each bitumen performance grade. As well, increased ductility and cohesive energy can be observed according to the R-curves as the mixtures are modified by crumb rubber.
