Experimental Study on the Physical and Rheological Properties of Bitumen Modified with Different Nano Materials (Nano SiO2 & Nano TiO2)
Authors
Abstract:
This study is carried out to explore the effect of nano materials (SiO2 & TiO2) on the physical and rheological properties of Bitumen. To achieve this goal, Nano materials are blended in bitumen in various percentages (0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2%). The physical and rheological properties of modified binders are characterized using a penetration, softening point, kinematic viscosity and a dynamic shear rheometer tests and compared with unmodified bitumen. The tensile strength of the bitumens is also tested as a function of nano contents. The results of the study indicate an increase in softening point, kinematics viscosity and decrease in bitumen penetration. The tensile strength of modified bitumen is enhanced by a comparison with the standard 60/70 bitumen. Also, results of DSR test show that modified bitumen significant better rutting resistance than the standard 60-70 bitumen. Tests results show that the best improvements in the modified bitumens were obtained with 1.2% nano SiO2.

Estimation the Fatigue Number of Stone Mastic Asphalt Mixtures Modified with Nano SiO2 and Nano TiO2
Asphalt modification/reinforcement has received considerable attention as viable solutions to enhance flexible pavement performance. This is mainly prompted by the unsatisfactory performance of traditional road materials exposed to dramatic increases and changes in traffic patterns. This paper presents the evaluation of fatigue behaviour of nano reinforced Stone Mastic Asphalt mixtures. Fatigue...

We report on the synthesis, morphology, chemically and structurally of TiO2-NiO-SiO2 nanostructure. The TiO2-NiO-SiO2 nanostructure was synthesized by a method based on the sol-gel method, by the simultaneous gelation of all cations. The coatings were deposited on dried soda-lime glass slides by spin coating. Composite powders and coating on glass hav...

In this study, different contents of Nano-silica, 2 wt.%, 4 wt.% and 6 wt.%, have been added to bitumen to modify the physical, mechanical and rheological properties of warm mix asphalt (WMA). WMA is containing 2 wt.% of Sasobit (mixture of long-chain hydrocarbons). Various quality control tests have been carried out to characterize the modified bitumen and WMA. The rheo...
