Abstract

The work is devoted to the applied bitumen binders’ quality practical monitoring results at construction sites, repair and reconstruction of highways in the Russian Federation at all the production and technological stages, from their manufacture by the supplier, including transportation and storage, and ending with their use in the production of asphalt concrete mixtures. The quality control of bituminous binders was carried out according to the modern methods of Russia and abroad

Highlights

  • IntroductionThe road transport structure is one of the main tools in solving major geopolitical and economic problems

  • Highways and engineering equipment on them are an important component of the transport ecosystem in the Russian Federation

  • To a greater extent, the correspondence of the main indicators of the polymermodified bitumen physical and mechanical properties indicates a long-term preservation of their homogeneity during transportation, storage and use, and minor changes identified during the analysis indirectly indicate the nature of organic binders [11], and their inherent tendency to age under prolonged exposure to temperature

Summary

Introduction

The road transport structure is one of the main tools in solving major geopolitical and economic problems. The development of the road network and the maintenance of a high level of transport and operational indicators of highways, ensuring comfortable and safe movement of vehicles, are the main tasks of the road industry. It should be noted that the quality of materials used for the construction, repair and maintenance of highways is the most important component of the road surface durability. One of the main structural components of asphalt concrete mixtures are organic binders bitumen, polymer-bitumen binders and polymer-modified bitumen. The quality of these materials is directly related to the resistance of asphalt concrete to the destructive factors during operation. The use of polymermodified bitumen in advanced industrial countries has become more and more widespread
