PROPERTIES OF POLYMER MODIFIED BINDERS AND RELATIONSHIP TO MIX AND PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE (WITH DISCUSSION AND CLOSURE)

Polymer modified bituminous binders (PMBs) are becoming more widespread in road building to meet today's high traffic loadings. The need to develop methods of ascertaining and explaining field performance from laboratory testing is critical. This paper reports on the rheological properties of three generic types of polymer modified binders used in Australia (plastomeric and elastomeric types). Polymer modified binders for both hot mix and sealing applications are characterized together with unmodified binders. Aggregate-binder mixtures are characterized for resilient modulus, dynamic creep, wheel tracking and fatigue. Finally, an attempt is made to relate test properties of the binders and mixtures to observed pavement performance.
