Modification of Rheological Properties of Asphalt by Treatment with Reclalaime Rubber from Scrap TiresEffect Modification Treatment on the Properties of the Modified Asphalt
Abstract
Reclaimed rubber of scrap tires is added to modify the physical characteristics of asphalt in two manners. The first ones depends on combining the rubber molecule with some of the asphalt. The second one depends on the same principle in addition to adding sulphur to formulate sulpharized compounds. The out come of these asphalt patterns and their physical characteristics are specified. The results of this study indicate that these modified asphalt patterns are characterized by having little thermal sensitivity in comparison with unmodified normal asphalt.
