Abstract:Stone mastic asphalt pavements are preferred worldwide as they are more resistant to heavy traffic loads. The stone mastic asphalt pavement design involves the use of 70-80% of coarse aggregate, 8-12% of filler, 5-7% of binder, and approximately 0.3-0.5% of fibre. The gap-graded structure and high binder content of stone mastic asphalt cause bitumen to drain down from aggregates. Marshall test and Schellenberg bitumen drainage test are performed in this research on samples prepared with different quantities of… Show more
“…While the SMA mixture with 0.3% textile waste content gave the highest stability value, the lowest stability was obtained by 0.2% cellulose fiber mixture. SMA mixtures prepared with textile waste contributed to Marshall stability [37]. The increase in stability with the addition of different contents of textile waste indicates that the asphalt pavement is more resistant to rutting and permanent deformations.…”

Bitumen draining in stone mastic asphalt mixtures has become a potential problem. Due to the storage and laying temperatures as well as difficulties in providing the necessary compaction, the temperatures of the asphalt mix cannot be lowered to prevent or reduce drainage. In stone mastic asphalts, generally cellulose or mineralbased fibers are preferred to reduce draining down of bitumen. Conventional fibers commonly used in stone mastic asphalt increase pavement costs because they are expensive.The aim of this research is investigation of textile waste used to prevent bitumen drainage problem in stone mastic asphalt pavements instead of traditional fibers. Following the determination of the bitumen content, Marshall Stability tests, Schellenberg bitumen drainage test and Indirect Tensile Strength tests were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of the stone mastic asphalt mixtures in comparison to mixes containing textile waste. The results indicated that it is possible to produce stone mastic asphalt mixes with textile waste that exhibits similar mechanical properties mixes including cellulose fiber. Moreover, it was found that samples prepared with textile waste exhibits advantage in terms of cost compared to samples prepared with cellulose fiber.

“…The fibers are used in all production steps until the final product in the tex tile industry, such as labor, energy, water, chemicals, etc. they are the main determinant for resources (Oner & Ozdas, 2021). Textile recycling, most often refers to the reprocessing of pre-or post-consumer textile waste for use in new textile or non-textile products.…”
In recycle yarn spinning, the original fibers are added to the blend as a carrier because of the recycled fibers obtained by opening from fabric scraps are very short and coarse. In the textile recycling industry, mostly petroleum-based synthetic fibers are used as carrier fibers. In an environmentally important activity such as recycling spinning, it is necessary to reduce the use of synthetics used as carrier fibers. When considered from this point of view, hemp fibers come to the fore with their important performance and environmental features. Based on this fact, in this study, in addition to the standard production conditions in the recycling yarn production facility, hemp fibers in different proportions were added to the blends to reduce the ratio of polyester as carrier fiber and the effects of this situation on yarn quality were examined. According to the results, it was observed that adding hemp fiber to the recycle yarn blend increased yarn tenacity, yarn unevenness and yarn hairiness while decreased yarn elongation properties.
Stone mastic asphalt requires a high amount of binder due to the high interaggregate void ratio, which causes the bitumen to drain from the aggregates. Pavement costs increase due to the expensiveness of conventional fiber (mineral, cellulose) used to prevent draining. In this study, the use of textile waste, which is considered as waste in textile factories, instead of cellulose fiber was investigated. Within the scope of the study, Marshall test, Schellenberg bitumen draining test and Sand Patch test were performed on the samples prepared with the addition of textile waste and cellulose fiber at different rates. When the test results are evaluated together, it has been determined that textile waste contributed to Marshall stability compared to cellulose fiber and showed higher performance with less draining. It was determined by the Sand Patch test that the used aggregate gradation provided the depth condition of the surface texture. The results of the study show that textile wastes can be used instead of traditional fiber in terms of both waste disposal and reduction of coating cost.
