RESUMO

In Brazil, since the beginning of the 90s, have been developed researches on the application of asphalt-rubber seeking the reduction of environmental problems created by the used tires, and the improvement of the characteristics of the produced binder. Taking this into account, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the mechanical performance of eight hot mix asphalt concretes, produced with conventional asphalt and modified asphalt with crumb rubber and shale-oil residue. Eight types of binders were used: CAP 30/45 (reference); two binders using different crumb rubber contents, two with different shale-oil residue contents, and finally three more with the combination of crumb rubber and shale-oil residue contents. The specimens used in the laboratorial tests were compacted in five different binders contents (4.5; 5.0, 5.5; 6.0 e 6.5%). Hence, the tests performed are: Marshall test, indirect tension, resilient modulus and moisture induced. The results showed that the rubber and the shale oil reduce the indirect tension and resilience module of the mixtures, however, on the delayed recover, the effects of the rubber and of the shale oil are opposed, decreasing and increasing it, respectively. Moreover, for the moisture susceptibility, the mixtures with shale-oil residue exhibited less susceptibility to water than those with crumb rubber. Furthermore, all the studied mixtures, except those with high shale-oil residue and rubber concentrations, they got to attend the established requirements for the specifications, for the analyzed properties. Although, in some cases, considering the opposed effects of the shale oil and of the crumb rubber, some combinations between both can be accomplished, with the purpose of reach the levels wanted for the properties of the asphaltrubber binder and the asphalt mixtures. Also regression models were elaborated as for the analyzed properties. The results obtained of modeling were satisfactory.
