TEXTO COMPLETO
 
2016 FEB 22 (VerticalNews) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Journal of Engineering -- Current study
results on Civil Engineering have been published. According to news reporting originating from Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, "The recycling of asphalt shingles in flexible
pavements has received considerable interest in recent years for economic, environmental, and social reasons.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding ground shingle using the wet process on the
binder rutting and fatigue behaviors."
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research, "The effects of recycled asphalt shingle (RAS) on the binder
rutting and fatigue characteristics were investigated using the multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) and the
linear amplitude sweep (LAS), respectively. Further, the influence of adding ground shingle on the binder chemical
composition was investigated in the laboratory using the Fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR) and saturates,
aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes (SARA) fraction analysis performed using a thin film chromatography. Based
on the results of the experimental program, it was found that the use of RAS in the binder blends was associated
with an increase in the percentage recovery and a decrease in the nonrecoverable creep compliance, which
indicates an improved resistance to rutting damage. On the other hand, results of the LAS test showed that an
increase in RAS content is associated with an improved resistance to fatigue cracking. This is in contradiction to
what would be expected, because the asphalt binder in RAS is air-blown, which is extremely stiff and brittle
compared to the binder used in roadway applications. Further evaluation of the LAS test with RAS-modified
binders is recommended. In addition, analysis of the FTIR spectra showed a slight increase in asphaltenes when
RAS was incorporated into the asphalt binder."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "The increase in asphaltenes was correlated to a slight
decrease in maltenes (saturates, aromatics, and resins)."
