Abstract

In this study, the effect of waste low density polyethylene (LDPE) on the performance of bituminous pavements against water effects was investigated. For this, 2.5% by weight of the binder triethanolamine (TEOA) was added to the pure B 70/100 binder to provide an interaction between bitumen and LDPE. Modified bitumens were obtained by adding LDPE in the ratios of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% by weight of bitumen to the obtained bitumen-TEOA blend. The physical properties of pure and modified bitumen samples were determined by conventional tests, and the interaction between bitumen-TEOA-LDPE was determined by chemical analysis. Then, samples were prepared with pure binder and aggregate based on the Marshall mixture method and the optimum bitumen content (OBC) was determined. Based on the determined OBC ratio, LDPE modified hot mix samples were prepared and all mix samples were subjected to Marshall stability and flow, retained Marshall stability (RMS) and indirect tensile strength (ITS) tests. In the results, it was seen that the hardness of the binders increased with the waste LDPE additive and a good interaction was provided between bitumen-TEOA-LDPE. On the other hand, it was observed that Marshall stability, RMS and indirect tensile strength ratio (ITSR) values of especially 4% waste LDPE added mixture samples improved, and the performance of bituminous pavements against water effects increased.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, bitümlü kaplamaların su etkilerine karşı performansı üzerinde atık düşük yoğunluklu polietilen (LDPE)’nin etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bunun için, bitüm ile LDPE arasında bir etkileşim sağlamak amacıyla saf B 70/100 bağlayıcısına bağlayıcı ağırlığının % 2,5 kadar trietanolamin (TEOA) eklenmiştir. Elde edilen, bitüm-TEOA harmanına bitüm ağırlığının % 1, 2, 3, 4 ve 5 oranlarında LDPE eklenerek modifiye bitümler elde edilmiştir. Saf ve modifiye bitüm numunelerinin fiziksel özellikleri geleneksel testlerle, bitüm-TEOA-LDPE arasındaki etkileşim ise kimyasal analizlerle belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra, Marshall karışım yöntemi esas alınarak saf bağlayıcı ve agrega ile karışım numuneleri hazırlanmış ve optimum bitüm içeriği (OBİ) tespit edilmiştir. Belirlenen OBİ oranı baz alınarak LDPE modifiyeli sıcak karışım numuneleri hazırlanmış ve bütün karışım numuneleri Marshall stabilite ve akma, kalıcı Marshall stabilitesi (RMS) ve endirekt çekme mukavemeti (ITS) testlerine tabi tutulmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlarda, atık LDPE katkısı ile bağlayıcıların sertliğinin arttığı ve bitüm-TEOA-LDPE arasında iyi bir etkileşim sağlandığı görülmüştür. Diğer taraftan, özellikle %4 atık LDPE katkılı karışım numunelerinin Marshall stabilitesi, RMS ve endirekt çekme mukavemeti oranı (ITSR) değerlerinde iyileşmeler meydana geldiği ve bitümlü kaplamaların su etkilerine karşı performansının artış gösterdiği görülmüştür.
