The aim of the research is to improve composition cold BNR (bitumen-nairite rubber) by improving technical properties, technology anti-filtration and anti-corrosion materials using at repair hydraulic structures, as well development a method for predicting state reliability structures with sealing protective coating.

bituminous emulsion insulators are types of bituminous emulsions groups composed of different grades of bitumen emulsified in water by bentonite and emulsifiers at 80-90oc. these emulsions are water resistant after drying andtheir physical and mechanical properties are superior in comparison to bitumen properties. iranian climate, because of variety and extreme variations in temperature imposes...

Calcium carbonate is a cheap and readily available filler used in rubber industry. This material is not compatible with rubber matrix, so many researchers have tried to modify its surface with various materials in order to increase its hydrophobicity and improve compatibility with the rubber matrix. In this effort, surface modification of calcium carbonate was carried out by 1.5%, 3% and 4% ste...

Canadian oil sands are unconsolidated sand deposits that are impregnated with heavy, viscous petroleum, normally referred to as bitumen. The total bitumen in place in Alberta is estimated at 1.7 to 2.5 trillion barrels and is clearly massive by world standards. Presently, 25% of the Canadian energy needs are derived from upgraded bitumen from mined oil sands. The oil sands are a complex mixture...

In a previous paper presented at the 2008 E&E Congress, the French mirror group (BNPé/P04/GE1) of the CEN/TC336 – WG1 committee (bituminous binder) has reported the results of a round robin test on DSR complex modulus measurements involving two paving grade bitumen (10/20 and 50/70 classes) and three modified binders (plastomer, elastomer and cross-linked elastomer). This paper presents the out...

Stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mixtures are one of the most resistant types known to date that bulk load is borne by aggregate skeleton. In this research, effect crumb rubber powder (CRP), Vestenamer polymer, and warm additives, including Sasobit, ZycoTherm, a porous mix (PAWMA), was investigated on moisture resistance SMA mixtures. A segregation test performed determine tendency polymer separate f...
