RESUMO

Asphalt binder and crumb rubber from discarded tires are materials that, most of time, are not compatible, requiring the addition of chemical products to facilitate the dispersion and incorporation of rubber particles as, for example, the extender oils. This research aims at evaluating the hypothesis that the shale-oil residue, once it is an aromatic oil, may be used as an extender oil for asphalt-rubber binders, allowing the incorporation of crumb-rubber proportions even higher than those usually added to asphalt binders without extender oils. The effort to verify these hypotheses was made by means of a laboratorial program divided in two steps. In the first step an investigation was carried out to assess the effects of crumb rubber and shale-oil residue on physical characteristics of twenty seven asphalt binders, in order to model rheological properties of these materials, using the component proportions and the process variables as predictor variables. In the second step, eight asphalt binders were studied, to obtain data to validate the original models and to model some properties that were not monitored in the first step. In both steps, the experiment was designed using the statistical technique of experiments with mixtures. The physical characterization of the asphalt binders was performed using traditional tests (softening point, penetration and resilience) and those of Superpave specification (apparent viscosity, mass loss, dynamic shear and flexural creep), with materials in three conditions: virgin, short-term aged (RTFOT) and long-term aged (PAV). Storage stability tests were also performed. There are evidences that the shale-oil residue can be used as an extender oil in asphalt-rubber binders, but the selection of the adequate concentrations of the components (asphalt, rubber and oil) depends on the measurement of rheological properties in the temperatures at which the main pavements distresses occurs in the place the road will be constructed.
