Abstract
Improving the durability of asphalt concrete road surfaces by increasing their moisture resistance is an urgent task. Modified bituminous binders should be compacted into coatings with the lowest possible water saturation. The purpose of this study was to establish the effect of modifiers on the hydrophobicity of bituminous films in order to achieve minimum water saturation and to build a mathematical model of the wetting process with water. As modifiers, we used a product of amination of distillation residues of petrochemistry, waste sealing liquid (a solution of high molecular weight polyisobutylene in mineral oil), and a condensation product of polyamines and higher fatty acids. The water-repellent effect of modifiers was studied by measuring the contact angle of bituminous film with a water drop. The water saturation of asphalt concrete samples was determined by the amount of water absorbed by asphalt concrete at 20 °C. A close correlation was revealed between the hydrophobicity of modified bitumen and the water saturation of asphalt concrete. Generalized equations and a graphical representation of a function of several variables allowed for optimizing compositions by the content of modifiers to achieve the required performance properties of asphalt concrete coatings.
