Mechanical analysis of asphalt mixtures produced with waste plastic modified binders
This work compares the viscoelastic properties of an asphalt binder (70/100 pen) modified with different waste plastics and the mechanical properties of the resultant asphalt mixtures. Two different plastic wastes were used, namely recycled HDPE and EVA. Three different polymer modified binders were produced with these plastic wastes: i) 5% HDPE modified binder (P5); ii) 5% EVA modified binder (E5) and; iii) a modified binder with 4% of EVA and 2% HDPE (E4P2). Asphalt mixtures were produced with these modified binders, and their mechanical properties were analysed and compared with a conventional mixture produced with a 30/50 pen bitumen. It was possible to conclude that these recycled polymers are able to improve the mechanical performance of the asphalt mixtures used in road paving. ; FEDER funds through the Operational Programme for Competitiveness Factors & COMPETE and National Fund s through FCT & Foundation for Science and Technology under the project PLASTIROADS (PTDC/ECM/119179/2010) and Symposium_22 Recycling and Reuse of Wastes into New Composite Materials -2062-of the strategic project UI 4047- 2011-2012 Centre of Territory, Environment and Construction.
