    Asphalt Modifier as Countermeasure to Rutting

     

    TPP (TAF-PACK-PREMIUM)

     

    PREFACE

    Development of transport infrastructure is absolutely essential for the development in economy of the country and the region. In fact, the traffic infrastructure like expressway has been increasing year by year in Vietnam. On the other hand, the traffic conditions on the roads pavement have become more by the increase in the traffic volume and large vehicles. On the heavy traffic roads, rutting becomes a serious problem at present. Therefore, further durability and sustainability are required for the asphalt pavements.

    Based on our long term experiences that we have tackled this problem, there is a countermeasure to prevent the rutting problem. Here, we will introduce such technologies to the rutting, which we have carried out.

    ABOUT RUTTING

    Rutting is caused by plastic flow of asphalt mixtures by the viscoelastic characteristic which asphalt mixture originally has. And, the rutting will impact on safety and comfort of driving. The viscoelasticity of asphalt mixture may cause some problems relating to rutting as follows.

    • Plastic flow

    This causes a typical rutting on the asphalt pavement by the repeated traffic load at high temperatures. This occurs on pavement roads with many large vehicles but it depends upon the property of the asphalt mixture used as well. And it is easier to occur at an uphill road and an intersection, a bus stop. This is because the vehicles do a stop and slowdown on these roads.

    • Top down cracking

    When the asphalt mixture used on the surface is too hard, the top down cracking may occur in a pavement surface with rutting. This is because the tensile strain generates in the surface of the asphalt mixture by traffic load. It is important to take a balance between the hardness of the surface course and that of the binder course to prevent this problem.

    • Corrugation

    This is the problem with the small waves to occur at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of pavement roads. It is easy to occur in places where the vehicles repeat stop and braking frequently. And, it is occurred at a hill and a traffic jam route, an intersection this side.

    COUNTERMEASURE to RUTTING by TPP ( TAF-PACK-PREMIUM )

    TPP is an asphalt modifier to improve rutting resistance, which belongs to Plant-mix type. And, the characteristics are as follows;

    • TPP can enhance the resistance to plastic deformation and the flexibility of asphalt.
    • TPP is an asphalt modifier used in Plant mix type.
    • TPP can be dissolved in straight asphalt quickly and modify asphalt into modified asphalt in a short time.
    • Modification level of asphalt can be controlled freely by changing TPP content, even to higher level.

    The modified asphalt mixture can be easily produced at any asphalt plants by using TPP. Furthermore, the usage is very easy, only to add TPP into a mixer of the asphalt plant. Moreover, the production of the modified asphalt mixtures is available at any existing plant, and other special devices are not needed. These merits are due to the merits of the Plant mix method.

    TPP is an asphalt modifier of the Plant mix type. The characteristics of the Plant mix type are as follows;

    • The modified asphalt mixtures of necessary quantity can be produced whenever you need them.
    • There are no concerns about the residua and/or the lack of modified asphalt.
    • The spare storage tank for modified asphalt is not necessary.
    • TPP can be available even in case of small amount of production of asphalt mixture. Even asphalt mixture of 1 batch can be produced.

    Regarding the method of addition of TPP, both of the manual addition and the automatic addition are available. The points to take attention are the order of adding materials, mixing temperature and mixing time.

    TPP is a plant mix type modified asphalt additive which has the excellent compatibility with asphalt and excellent modifying effects.

    PROPERTIES OF ASPHALT MODIFIED BY TPP

    The properties of the modified asphalt by TPP of more than 4% meet the Japanese standard for Modified Asphalt Type II. The examples of the properties of TPP asphalt are shown in the table below. TAF-PACK M is a premix type asphalt, it is shown as a reference.

    In case of the asphalt modified by TPP of 5%, the properties can be categorized in the standard of PMB-II in Vietnam. PI in the table is an index indicating the temperature susceptibility of asphalt. And, it is hard to be affected by the temperature when its numeric is big. In the case of TPP 5% addition, the numeric of PI is very big. TPP 5% Modified asphalt has the excellent thermal properties, TPP 5% is recommended for the countermeasure to rutting.

    *) TPP can be blended into asphalt by a propeller mixer. However, mixing time shall be more than 1 hour.

    PROPERTIES OF MODIFIED ASPHALT MIXTURE USING TPP

    The properties of the asphalt mixtures using TPP by 4% and 5% are shown in the table below. The asphalt mixture used for this test is dense graded asphalt mixture with the maximum size of 13mm.

    Dynamic stability of the modified asphalt mixture using TPP of 5% is going up to 7875 pass/mm while that of the asphalt mixture using the normal asphalt is 440 pass/mm. This means that the modified asphalt mixture by TPP of 5% provides the rutting resistance of more than 15 times of the normal asphalt mixture.

    These test results show the great efficiency of TPP of 5%. As a result, regarding the countermeasure to rutting, the use of 5% TPP is recommended. In case of this example, 5% TPP means that only 2.75kg of TPP, 55kg * 0.05, will be added to 1 ton asphalt mixture.

    (Regarding wheel tracking test and dynamic stability, refer to APPENDIX).

    *) The effect of TPP is affected by a base asphalt to use. Therefore, you need to add TPP to an asphalt which you use, and confirm the effect of it.

    OTHER COUNTERMEASURE TO RUTTING BY TAIYU

    The challenge to the rutting problem has been started in 1979, and the first product, “TAF-PACK”, has been developed as an asphalt modifier. Up to now, this product has been improved over and over again. And, the original technology has evolved into TPM, TPS and TPP. Furthermore, there are special technology against the further severe rutting, which might not be improved by TPP and others.

    In Japan, the asphalt mixture modified by TPP or TPM is generally used as a countermeasure to the rutting on heavy duty roads. This is because everyone knows that the method to use modifier is the most steady and reliable as a countermeasure to rutting through the long term experiences. However, TPM is provided only in Japan, because it is a pre-mixture type. And, TPS will be used when the high durability of porous asphalt pavements is required.

    TAF-EPOXY is the epoxy resin for asphalt to significantly improve rigidity and flexibility. And, Semi-Flexible Pavement is the pavement in which the voids of porous asphalt pavements are filled with the special cement milk. TAF-EPOXY is applied at the parts with severe rutting like an intersection, it is also employed for the pavement on the bridge with steel plate deck. Semi-flexible pavement may be sometimes used for like bus stop because it can prevent the asphalt pavement from being melted by oil spilling out.

    WHEEL TRACKING TEST IN JAPAN

    Wheel tracking test is employed to evaluate the resistance to rutting of asphalt mixture. The index to evaluate the resistance to rutting is DS “Dynamic Stability”. DS is expressed as the passing number of the wheel until the deformation becomes to 1mm. The heavy duty roads require DS of more than 3000 pass/mm.

    DS of normal asphalt mixture like dense graded asphalt mixture with straight asphalt is about 300 to 600 pass/mm. Even though the gradation will be improved, the DS would go up a little to 800 pass/mm. If TPP is employed, the DS would be about10 times of the normal asphalt mixture, the effect of improvement is significantly bigger.
