Heterogeneous visco-hyperelastic numerical modelling of crumb rubber-modified asphalt binders
Three-dimensional numerical finite element (FE) biphasic models verified against the experimental data were developed aiming to study the accuracy of FE modelling in the prediction of viscoelastic properties of crumb rubber-modified asphalt binders. In the numerical models, crumb rubber-modified asphalt binders are considered as a heterogeneous composite material consisting of the original asphalt binder and rubber particles which respectively have viscoelastic and hyperelastic behaviours. Three different dosages of crumb rubber including 10, 15 and 20 wt% of the original asphalt are added. To capture rubber particles distribution within the bituminous matrix, a random generation method by using the MOA software (French acronym for random object modeller) was implemented based on rubber’s minimum and maximum particle sizes. In order to determine the viscoelastic properties of the original asphalt binder as well as the crumb rubber-modified ones, the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) was used. The excellent agreement between the numerical FE modelling and experimental results witnessed the capability of biphasic finite element models to predict the visco-hyperelastic behaviour of crumb rubber-modified asphalt binders having an error lower than 9%.
