“…Moisture damage occurs due to weak adhesion and lack of cohesion in asphalt mixtures. Half-warm asphalt mixtures and especially technologies based on asphalt binder foam have less adhesion between asphalt binder and aggregates [10]. Also, less asphalt binder coating on aggregates due to the low viscosity of asphalt binder causes lower integrity of these mixtures.…”

The advancement of technology and the increasing growth of environmental threats have led experts in the field of transportation to find alternatives for hot mix asphalts (HMAs). One of these alternatives is low-energy asphalt (LEA) mixtures. LEA mixture consists of hot asphalt binder and coarse aggregates and wet sand, which, having a lower mixing temperature, has caused a significant reduction in energy consumption and pollutants emitted from asphalt binder. According to previous studies, the influence of crumb rubber (CR) on the rutting and moisture performances of LEAs has not been investigated so far. In this regard, due to the softness of this type of asphalt mixture and its weakness against rutting and moisture, in this study, as an innovation, CR was used to modify LEA mixtures in three weight percentages of 10, 15, and 20. Considering the high moisture sensitivity of LEA mixtures due to the presence of water, the ability of CR to overcome this weakness and its potential to be replaced with antistriping additives were also investigated using the indirect tensile strength (ITS) test. In addition, in order to evaluate the rutting resistance, LEA mixtures were subjected to the dynamic creep test at a temperature of 54.4°C and at two stress levels of 270 and 310 kPa. According to ITS test results, it was found that although the modified LEA mixtures with 10 and 15% CR met the minimum requirement, the tensile strength ratio (TSR) value recorded for mentioned mixtures was still lower than that for HMA. Therefore, it is recommended to use antistripping additives in the use of LEA-containing CR, especially in areas with a high probability of moisture damage. The results of creep curves and flow numbers (FNs) extracted from four different models of three-stage, Fnest, Francken, and stepwise showed that although the LEA sample without additive had lower rutting resistance than HMA, the modification of this mixture to 15% CR significantly increased the rutting resistance. Moreover, considering the variety of variables in the process of making LEA compared to HMA, the comparison of FN determination models and the introduction of the most stable model were conducted in this research. According to the laboratory and statistical analysis results, it was found that the Francken model had less sensitivity to the variables, so it is suggested to determine FN for LEA mixtures.

“…The dynamic modulus master curve reflects the dynamic mechanical performance and viscoelastic property of the asphalt mixture and is widely used in the area of asphalt mixture and as an effective way to evaluate the asphalt mixture. Many studies [50,51] improved or modified the asphalt with a warm mix additive or other additives to improve the viscoelastic property under higher temperatures. The PU mixture which possesses good road performance [52,53] is a new kind of pavement material, the dynamic mechanical performance and viscoelastic properties of which should be captured and used to understand the performance of pavement structure with PU mixture layers before applying the PU mixture in pavement structure design, material selection, and performance prediction.…”

The PU mixture considered here is a new kind of pavement material with excellent road performance, which lacks study into its dynamic mechanical and viscoelastic properties. In this study, the dynamic modulus of the polyurethane (PU) mixture was fitted by using five master curve models, five shift factor equations, and four error minimization methods. According to test results, the log–log plot form was able to more effectively display the differences between master curves. The solver method, the sum of square error minimization (≤0.02), proved to be more appropriate and accurate with higher fitting parameter results. The line of equality statistic and Pearson linear correlation analysis results demonstrated that WLF and Kaelble equations were appropriate for five master curve models with trend line R2 values higher than 0.98. The GLS and SCM model with the WLF equation had the most accurate master curve fitting results. The dynamic modulus master curve shape of the PU mixture did not follow the traditional smooth “S” shape and did not show the ultimate dynamic modulus at extreme frequency. The viscoelasticity of the PU mixture is quite different from that of the asphalt mixture. This study recommended the most accurate error minimization method, the master curve model, and shift factor equations for characterizing the dynamic properties of the PU mixture.
