RESUMO
In Brazil, the annual production of waste tires is in the order of 40 million units, with an estimated tire disposal of at least 25 million units per year. According to statistics of the National Association of Tire Industry, 100 million of useless tires are spread around the country in landfills, vacant land, rivers and lakes, causing enormous environment damage. The recycling of scrap tires has become mandatory since 2005 according to the resolution 258 of the National Council on the Environment (NCE) and the recycling rate must be of 120%, i.e., for every 4 tires produced or imported, 5 have to be recycled, thus contributing to the elimination of existing scrap tires. This dissertation deals with the chemical and rheological analysis of asphalt binder modified with rubber tires in order to improve the performance, when applied to the asphalt coating, and minimize the environmental problem. The wet process was used to modify the binder. It was verified the effect of different levels of aromatic oil (2.5, 4.5 and 6.0%) and the particle size of the incorporated rubber through the sieve passing 80 (0.180mm) containing 20% by weight (w/w). For comparison purposes, it was considered a commercial sample of rubber asphalt. The rheological study of samples produced in laboratory and commercially available was conducted in a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and the chemical analysis was performed in an infrared spectrometer with Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR). The aromatic oil influenced the chemical and rheological properties of the modified binder produced in the laboratory, since the spectra in the infrared showed the appearance of new bands. Viscosity decreased with the presence of oil and the workability of the material was improved. The region of linear viscoelasticity was higher for the sample that contained 4.5 and 6.0% aromatic oil. The master curves showed that rubber can reduce fatigue in intermediate temperatures and provide a greater elastic response for the modified samples. It was observed a plateau in the master curves which indicates the formation of a polymer network in the modified binder. The modified binder produced in the laboratory showed a greater performance with respect to the commercial sample and the pure asphalt binder. The differences in the rheological behavior of the samples can be attributed to the rubber content, type of asphalt binder and rubber used during the modification process
