4 TH FFCT OF VA-MODIFID BITUMNS ON ROLLD ASPHALTS CONTAINING DIFFRNT FIN AGGRGATS ABSTRACT The changes in the rheological properties of petroleum bitumens after the addition of ethylenevinyl acetate co-polymer (VA) are described and the consequent effect on their use in rolled asphalt wearing course mixtures is reported. In particular, the changes in the Marshall stability and deformation resistance using four asphalt sands of different stability are quantified. The relationship between these properties and the effect of the VA component is discussed in detail, and equations are derived relating the Marshall stability of a conventional rolled asphalt wearing course to the Marshall stability of a rolled asphalt containing bitumen modified with 5 per cent VA for the same resistance to permanent deformation. 1 INTRODUCTION The use of bitumens modified with an ethylene-vinyl acetate co-polymer (VA) is now fairly widespread in the UK particularly in weather conditions likely to affect adversely the laying of conventional wearing courses or where more deformation-resistant surfacings are required. Denning and Carswell (1981) have detailed the effect of a particular grade of VA on the physical properties of the bitumen and on the rolled asphalt mixtures made with this binder. This work has led to a draft specification being introduced to cover the use of this particular grade (18_+2 per cent vinyl acetate, melt flow index 150_+40) in rolled asphalt wearing courses. The principal effect of adding 5 per cent of this VA to a petroleum bitumen is to increase the resistance to permanent deformation of a rolled asphalt wearing course material to a far greater degree than would be expected from the measured change in Marshall stability. This finding raises the question as to whether low stability fine aggregates, at present unsuitable for surfacing heavily-trafficked sites, may be used with an VA modified bitumen to achieve a performance similar to that of conventional asphalts made with higher stability fine aggregates. As a result of this research the option would be available to use either a locally-available, lower-stability sand with a more-expensive modified binder or a higher stability sand, with high haulage costs, with a conventional binder. This report quantifies the effect of two petroleum bitumens modified with ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer on rolled asphalt wearing course mixtures containing four different fine aggregates. The fine aggregates were chosen to represent a wide range of stability characteristics. 2 BINDRS The following binders were used in this project: a 50 pen bitumen, a bitumen, the bitumen plus 2.5 per cent and 5.0 per cent VA (18 per cent vinyl acetate, 150 melt flow index) and the bitumen plus 5.0 per cent of the same VA. The bitumen/va binders were blended using a low shear mixer for a period of approximately 2 hours at a temperature of 160 C. Rheological tests were carried out on the 5 binders. 2.1 PNTRATION The penetration of each binder at 25 C was determined according to the Institute of Petroleum method 49/1984 (Institute of Petroleum 1984a). The results are given in Table 1 and show that the addition of VA to a bitumen reduces the penetration by about one grade. 2.2 SOFTNING POINT Ring and ball softening point measurements were carried out according to the Institute of Petroleum method 58/1984, (Institute of Petroleum (1984b)) and the results are tabulated in Table 1. The increase in softening point is marked, being 5 C for the 2.5 per cent addition, 12 C for the 5.0 per cent addition to the bitumen and 15 C for this level of addition to the bitumen. It appears from this limited information that the change in softening point with the addition of VA may be linear, particularly for a given bitumen and polymer. 2.3 VISCOSITY (45 C) The viscosity of each binder at 45 C was measured using the Sliding-Plate Rheometer (Denning and Carswell 1981). The values of viscosity at a shear rate of 0.05s -1 and at a strain of 1 are shown in Table 1. Previous work (Denning and Carswell 1981) has shown a good correlation between this measure of viscosity and the wheel-tracking rate of a rolled asphalt (with 30 per cent coarse aggregate) made with the same binder. Table 1 also shows the nominal elastic recovery of each binder measured with the same rheometer, determined after a period equal to the loading time; it can be seen that the VA confers a degree of elasticity to the binder, in proportion to the polymer content, indicating that the
5 binder is less Newtonian in character than a bitumen at this temperature. 2.4 VISCOSITY ( C) Measurements of viscosity in the range 100 to 200 C were made on each binder using a Haake viscobalance, which utilizes the principle of a falling sphere in a fluid. This temperature range is useful as it corresponds to the mixing, laying and rolling temperatures of rolled asphalt wearing course materials. The viscosity curves for each binder are shown in Figure 1 and equiviscous temperatures, relating to mixing and rolling temperatures, are O t~ v d BINDR o Bitumen o Bitumen per cent VA Bitumen + 5 per cent VA Bitumen Bitumen + 5 per cent VA I I I I I I I I I I I Temperature ( C) Fig. 1 Relationship between HAAK viscosity and temperature shown in Table 1. The temperature values shown for 300 poise are extrapolated from the experimental results and should be treated with caution. The effect of the VA co-polymer is to render the binder more viscous, but not markedly so, and is in keeping with the increased softening point values. However, previous work has shown that the VAmodified bitumens do not require higher mixing and laying temperatures in commercial practice, possibly because the VA confers a degree of shear susceptibility to the binder as it departs from Newtonian behaviour. 3 DISCUSSION OF RHOLOGICAL CHANGS For a 2.5 per cent addition of VA to a bitumen the high temperature viscosity characteristics remain relatively unchanged but, over the typical temperature range experienced on the road, the binder is generally stiffer and slightly more elastic. At 45 C it is nearly twice as viscous as the bitumen, indicating an increased resistance to permanent deformation when used as a binder in a wearing course material. The effects of adding 5 per cent VA to the and the bitumens are virtually the same; the penetration is reduced by about one grade and there is a substantial increase in the ring and ball softening point. At 45 C, the elasticity of the polymer modified binders were an order of magnitude greater than the respective base bitumens and their viscosities were also increased by a factor of 4 to 5. This stiffening effect was observed in the normal mixing and laying temperature range but not to the extent that modifications to existing commercial practice were required.

This suggests that in commercial production an asphalt containing this binder would provide a more deformation resistant surfacing without involving additional energy costs. Denning and Carswell (1981) have shown that asphalt surfacings containing VA modified bitumens may show better workability, with adequate compaction being achieved below the rolling temperature, equivalent to 50 poise, as measured by the Haake viscobalance. At present, the reasons for this are not clear and may be due either to the non- Newtonian behaviour of the binder at these temperatures or to physical-chemical reactions within the VA itself. This effect, if reproduced generally, should allow more time for compaction of an asphalt, thereby either extending the working season, or allowing more successful laying in adverse weather conditions. The problems associated with adverse weather working are the subject of a report by Daines (1985). Further work is needed to quantify the effect of the VA co-polymer on the compaction of asphalt in the temperature range C. 4 AGGRGATS All wearing course mixtures were made with granite coarse aggregate (Croft) and limestone filler (Flowers). The coarse aggregate and the filler gradings, together with their specific gravities are shown in Table 2. The variables in the mixtures were the type of binder and the type of fine aggregate. Four fine aggregates were used ranging from rounded to angular shaped particles, yielding a wide range of Marshall stability values. The fine aggregates were all sands and their gradings, specific gravities and bulk densities are recorded in Table 2. The Southport Beach and Bristol Channel fine aggregates are composed mainly of rounded particles, the difference between them being that the Southport material is more single-sized. The Whitegate fine aggregate was chosen to represent an average stability sand and the Almington fine aggregate for producing high Marshall stability asphalt wearing course mixes. 5 PROPRTIS OF ASPHALT MIXS 5.1 MARSHALL DSIGN The optimum binder content for each binder for each fine aggregate was determined using the procedure in British Standard BS 594 (1973) (British Standards Institution 1973) except that 30 per cent coarse aggregate was also included in the test specimens. The values of mix density, compacted aggregate density, Marshall stability and percentage voids are plotted against binder content for each fine aggregate and binder in Figures 2 to 5.

The results showed that for each fine aggregate the type of binder made little difference to the optimum binder content, to the mix and compacted aggregate densities or to the void content of the mix. The only differences found were in the values of Marshall stabilities where the VA modified bitumens gave higher results. For the bitumen plus 2.5 per cent VA the increase in Marshall stability was just over 10 per cent for the Whitegate and Almington sands, and over 20 per cent for the Southport Beach and Bristol Channel sands. Marshall quotient values were also higher because the flow values remained relatively unchanged, except in the case of Whitegate sand where an unusually high flow value resulted in a slightly lower Marshall quotient. For the two grades of bitumen modified with 5 per cent VA the percentage increases in Marshall stability were of the order of per cent for the lower stability sands, but only about 10 per cent for the Almington sand, probably because the angularshaped particles of this sand have an over-riding effect. A lower than expected increase in Marshall stability was recorded for the bitumen plus 5.0 per cent VA when using the Southport Beach sand; the reason for this is not clear. One point of particular interest from the Marshall design studies was that the optimum binder contents were about 1 per cent lower for the lower stability sands than for the higher stability materials; when

But, an asphalt surfacing with this reduced binder content may be less durable and the results of these Marshall designs must be interpreted cautiously. However, the results of an experiment on the Winchester by-pass (Jacobs 1983) have shown that low binder content rolled asphalts can perform well and some rolled asphalts with 1.5 per cent below target binder content (derived from the procedure given in Section 3 of BS 594: 1973) performed adequately for 7 years. 5.2 DFORMATION RSISTANC Laboratory samples were manufactured at the optimum binder contents and at 1 per cent of optimum for each binder and fine aggregate; they were subjected to the TRRL wheel-tracking test at 45 C described by Jacobs (1981). The variations in wheel-tracking rate with binder content for each material are shown in Figures 6-9. Density values and wheel-tracking rates at the optimum binder contents are recorded in Table 4. For the 50 and bitumens the wheel-tracking rates showed a similar pattern, with the more stable sands giving the lower tracking rates. Only the asphalts made with bitumen and with the Whitegate and the Almington sands had wheeltracking rates less than 2mm/h, indicating suitability for use on very heavily trafficked roads; see Jacobs (1981). For the materials made with bitumen plus 2.5 per cent VA the wheel-tracking rates for three of the sands were reduced by a factor of 1.8, with all rates being less than 2mm/h. For the Almington sand the effect was less marked (reduction factor 1.35), probably because the high particle interlock of this sand was more significant than the contribution made by the VA polymer. The wheel-tracking rates for the asphalts containing the bitumens modified at the 5 per cent VA level were substantially reduced for all the fine aggregates, with all values below 1.5 mm/h, a reduction factor of 3 to 4. This indicates that asphalts containing low stability sands, when mixed with bitumen plus 5 per cent VA, should perform satisfactorily under the severest traffic loading conditions, even though the Marshall stability values for the Bristol Channel and Southport Beach sands suggest otherwise. The plots of variation of wheel-tracking rate with binder content in Figures 6 to 9, show that the addition of ethylene-vinyl acetate to a bitumen improves the tolerance of the rolled asphalt to variations in binder content. In practice, this would enable a higher-thanoptimum binder content to be specified without adversely affecting deformation resistance and this could be of benefit in certain applications. While the optimum binder content, determined by the Marshall design method, gives low wheel-tracking rates for each material, Figures 6 to 9 also show that, for a minimum deformation resistance, a lower binder content could be chosen, especially for the Whitegate and Almington fine aggregates. This confirms earlier work by Jacobs (1983). However, this trend is not apparent for all the fine aggregates in this study.

14 6 RLATIONSHIPS BTWN DIFFRNT PROPRTIS OF MATRIALS The changes in the rheological properties of modified binders have already been discussed and provide a consistent pattern in this limited study. Relationships have been found between the softening point of a binder and the wheel-tracking rate by Jacobs (1981) who used Redhill sand and this information together with the data from four fine aggregates from this study are shown in Figure 10. Similarly, the effect of the apparent viscosity of a binder (45 C) on the wheel-tracking rate has been reported by Denning and Carswell (1981) for Redhill fine aggregate and regression lines for each fine aggregate are constructed in Figure 11. The relationships shown in both Figures 10 and 11 are distinct for each fine aggregate; it will be noted that the slopes are generally the same and the values are tabulated in Table 5. These different relationships probably reflect or are a function of material differences; In order to examine the role of the ethylene-vinyl acetate component in the Marshall stability values and wheel-tracking rates, these are considered with and without the addition of polymer. The effect of the addition of VA to bitumen on the Marshall stabilities for each fine aggregate is shown in Table 6 and on the wheel-tracking rates in Table 7. For the 2.5 per cent level of addition to the bitumen, the increase in Marshall stability values averaged 17 per cent, and the wheel-tracking rates are reduced by a factor of 0.6 (range 0.5 to 0.7). At the 5.0 per cent level of addition to both grades of bitumen the resultant Marshall stabilities were 35 per cent higher, with the increase for the Almington sand being somewhat smaller for the reasons discussed earlier. The wheel-tracking rates were reduced by a factor of 0.3 (range 0.25 to 0.35) which was found to be independent of type of fine aggregate. Currently, bitumen modified with 5 per cent VA is used in some asphalts therefore the results for this material will be examined in more detail. Figure 12 shows the relationship between Marshall stability and wheel-tracking rate on a logarithmic scale for both the unmodified and VA modified asphalts.

16 The equation derived for the unmodified asphalt is 13.3 W-M~.04 and for the VA asphalt 5 W = M 0'93... (1) where W=wheel tracking rate (mm/h) and M = Marshall stability (30 per cent stone content) (kn)..... (2) where W= wheel tracking rate of VA asphalt (ram/h) M = Marshall stability of VA asphalt (30 per cent stone content) (kn). For the case of equivalent wheel-tracking rates, W=W, we have M~.04 M0.93 or M = 0.35M 1'12... (3) This equation is shown in Figure 13 and suggests that if the Marshall stability of a conventional mix is known, then, for the same performance in the wheeltracking test, a much lower Marshall stability is required with a binder containing 5 per cent VA. This finding would permit sands, currently considered unsuitable, to be used for heavily-trafficked roads when used in a mix containing VA. The standard deviation of the data used in the derivation of equation (3) has been used to develop the design curve in Figure 13 corresponding to the 85 per cent confidence level, which can be simplified for general use (in the range 4-12 kn for conventional materials) to the following approximation. M = 0.5M (4) This is given in Figure 14. The work described in this report covers only four fine aggregates and two unmodified bitumens. However earlier work by Jacobs (1981) and (1983), provides a greater range of both these variables for unmodified binders. Assuming that Marshall values for stone filled mixtures (30 per cent) are 1.3 times those for mortar mixtures (Jacobs 1983), all the reported work, together with the results of this project can be combined to form a general equation relating these two properties for conventional asphalts. The equation is W= 21 M (5) which differs to some extent from equation (1) above, and from earlier work (Jacobs 1981). The relationship in equation (5) is shown in Figure 12. If it is assumed that the relation between wheel tracking and Marshall stability of mixes containing VA that could have been made with the sands of Jacobs earlier work is also that obtained from the present work, then equation (5) can be combined with equation (2) to derive a relationship between X "6.,. o,,, O O u'.c: 8~ ~8 Fig M = 2J3M (all work) I I I I I I I I Marshall Stability (30 per cent stone content) of mixes containing unmodified bitumens, M (kn) Marshall Stabilities of modified and unmodified materials with equivalent wheel-tracking rates Marshall stability for VA modified and for unmodified asphalts at equivalent tracking rates (W = W): 21 5 M1.34 M0.93 or M = 0.21 M TM... (6) This equation is plotted in Figure 13. A similar design curve at the 85 per cent confidence level for Marshall stability values of mixes containing 5 per cent VAmodified bitumen is also shown. For all work the approximate design equation relating Marshall stability of unmodified asphalts to that of modified- VA asphalts for equivalent wheel-tracking rates is M = 2M... (7) This relationship is shown in Figure 14. It is equally plausible to assume that the proportional shift in relations between wheel tracking and stability obtained from the present work and from all results combined (shown in Figure 12) is the same as would be obtained for these two groupings of materials with VA added: in this case equation (3) would apply. However Figure 14 shows that at stabilities of greater than 4 kn equation (7) is more conservative and is therefore recommended for use. The recently revised British Standard 594 (1985) (British Standards Insititution 1985) requires a minimum Marshall stability of 6 kn for roads carrying over 6000 commercial vehicles per day. From equation (7), for the same deformation resistance, an VA asphalt would require a Marshall stability of 4 kn. Alternatively, if the Marshall stability of the VA asphalt was 6 kn, it would correspond to using a conventional asphalt of 9 kn stability with the equivalent deformation resistance. J 13

The Marshall stabilities of the VA-modified materials for the same wheel-tracking rates are also calculated using the design equation (7). In Table 9 the values calculated for the Marshall stability of the asphalt made with the VA-modified bitumens using equations (4) and (7) are recorded for a range of Marshall stabilities of conventional materials for wheel-tracking equivalence. The two equations provide similar values over a wide range of Marshall stabilities. 7 CONCLUSIONS The addition of ethylene-vinyl acetate (VA) copolymer to a petroleum bitumen produces the following rheological changes: 1. A decrease in the penetration of the binder by just under one grade at the 2.5 per cent level of addition and by about one grade at the 5.0 per cent level. 2. An increase in the ring and ball softening point, with the increase being dependent on the concentration of VA.

18 3. An increase in the elasticity of the binder at higher road temperatures while at the same time making the binder more viscous. 4. An increase in the viscosity at typical mixing and laying temperatures but not to the extent that the increase in the softening point value would imply. When VA-modified bitumens are used in rolled asphalt wearing course the following changes are produced: 1. Marshall stabilities are increased by about 20 per cent for the 2.5 per cent VA level, irrespective of fine aggregate and by about 35 per cent at the 5 per cent VA level, though the effect is less marked for the high stability sands. 2. The wheel-tracking rate is reduced by a factor of 0.6 for the 2.5 per cent level of VA addition and by a factor of 0.3 for the bitumen containing 5 per cent VA, with the reductions being generally independent of type of fine aggregate. Relationships between the Marshall stability of the conventional asphalt (M) and the Marshall stability of the VA modified asphalt (M) with the same resistance to permanent deformation was M=~M for the range of Marshall stabilities normally encountered. Thus VA-modified binders can be used to enhance the properties of fine aggregates which produce low Marshall stability rolled asphalts with conventional binders. 8 ACKNOWLDGMNTS The work described in this report forms part of the research programme of the Pavement Materials and Construction Division (Division Head: G F Salt) of the Highways Group of the TRRL.
