Design approach for epoxy modified bitumen to be used in antiskid surfaces on asphalt pavement

Application of Epoxy-Asphalt Composite in Asphalt Paving Industry: A Review with Emphasis on Physicochemical Properties and Pavement Performances

“…It is interesting to note that mixtures with 4.75 mm nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) [93,95] have increased resistance to raveling and mixtures with 9.5 mm NMAS [95] have increased performance of surface friction at a high slip speed. With the intention of increasing skidding resistance, the volume design method (V-S method) [96] based EAM with a skeleton-dense structure was designed for steel bridge deck [97]; a design approach was proposed for the epoxy-modified binder suitable for the antiskid asphalt surface layer [98]; a high friction treatment prepared with epoxy and aggregate was successfully implemented in Virginia to provide strong skidding resistance [99]; an epoxy-modified binder was successfully used to replace the tar-containing binder for the ultra-thin surface layer on asphalt runways, which was determined to be toxic due to its high polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content [100]. An epoxy resin-based ultra-thin antiskid surface layer (UTASS) with 2.36 mm-3 mm basalt aggregates was developed for steel bridge deck to enhance the skidding resistance of epoxy asphalt pavement [101].…”

Preliminary examination of chipseals prepared with epoxy-modified bitumen

“…The work resulted in successful full scale road trials being constructed [2,[15][16][17]. Investigations into the properties of EMB bitumen [18] and asphalts have also been undertaken in China and The Netherlands [19][20][21].…”

Function Investigation of Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) Mixture Partly Containing Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) Slag

“…The high proportion of coarse aggregates provides great texture depths and a stable skeleton through stone-to-stone contact (12), which benefits the skid and deformation resistances of SMA pavement. As performance indexes of asphalt pavement, skid and deformation resistances are two important properties (12-13-14-15). Wu et al evaluated the feasibility of recycling BSCA in SMA mixtures (13), and SMA mixture with 100% BSCA as a substitution of basalt coarse aggregate was identified to possess 15% higher dynamic stability in the laboratory environment.…”
