FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Bitumen, Tarand Their Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products DivisionCouncil.

Polymer and rubber modified bitumen, often abbreviated as polymer modified bitumen is obtained by the incorporationof thernlopIastics, crumb rubber powder (ordinary) or chemically treated crumb rubber and elastomers or a blend ofpolymeric and other additives compatible with bitumen or a short residue obtained after refining of crude oil. Themodified bitumen is prepared at refineries or at suitable centrally located or mobile plants with high shear mixingf+cility. Recently, fully automated mobile plants with high shear mixing facility are also imported to provide highmodified bitumen at the locations of hot mix plants. Mixing at site by simple stirrer is not advisable.

Over the years, different types of modifiers have been used to make modified bitumen. The most commonly usedtype of modifiers are rubbers and polymers. These are macro-molecules in which the same group of atoms isrepeated very large number of times. These repeated groups can be formed from one or several different molecules(monomers). Agents other than synthetic polymers can also be used to modify bitumen, which are crumb rubberpowder and natural rubber powder or in latex form. The table below lists the groups of principal modifiers which areused to modify bitumen for highway engineering applications and are also specified in Indian Road Congress (IRC)and Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) standards, specifications and codes of practice.Principal chemical agents used to prepare rubber and polymer modified bitumen are :

Elastomeric Thermoplastic Polymersa) Polyethylene PEb) Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer EVAc) Ethylene-Methyl Acrylate Copolymer EMAd) Ethylene-Butyl Acrylate Copolymer EBA

Elastomeric Thermoplastic Polymersa) Ethylene Ter-Polymer ETPb) Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene Block Copolymer SBSc) Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene Copolymer md) Styrene-Butadiene SBe) Latex and Other Rubberst) Styrene Butadiene Rubber SBR

Natural Rubber (Latex or Powder) NRCrumb Rubber or Treated Crumb Rubber CR

While preparing this standard, considerable assistance has been derived from IRC SP: 53-2002 Guidelines on useof polymer and rubber modified bitumen in road construction prepared by Indian Road Congress and clause 520 ofspecification by Ministry of Road Transport& Highways, New Delhi.

The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex D

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value,observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2:1960Rules for rounding off numerical values (revise#). The number of significant places retained in the rounded offvalue should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

DETERMINATION OF SEPARATION

B-1 PRINCIPLE

The separation of modifier and bitumen during hotstorage is evaluated by comparing the ring and ballsoftening point of the top and bottom samples takenfrom a conditioned, sealed tube of polymer modifiedbitumen. The conditioning consist of placing a sealedtube of modified bitumen in a vertical position at 163 +5(Cin an oven for a period of 48 h. It provides a referencefor determining the relative separation propertiesbetween different types of bitumen modifiers and theirrespective bitumens. Modified bitumens relativestability to separation under storage in static conditionsis detel-mined in heated oven storage without agitation.

B-2 APPARATUS

METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF COMPLEX MODULUS

C-1 SCOPE C-2 SIGNIFICANCE AND USE

This method covers the determination of complex The test temperature for this test is related to themodulus (G*), Phase angle (sin 6) and G*/sin 5 of temperature experienced by the pavement in themodified bituminous binders. This standard is geographical area for which the use of binder is intended.appropriate for unaged material and material aged in The shear modulus is an indicator of stiffness orthin film oven or rolling thin film oven. Particulate resistance of binder to deformation under load atmaterials in binder is limited to particles with longest specified temperature. The complex (G*) modulus anddimensions less than 300 micrometer. phase angle (sin 6) define the resistance to deformation

of the binder in the visco-elastic region. The complex

6

modulus and phase angle are used to evaluateper fon-nance aspect of modified bitumen, where elasticrecovery is insignificant.

C-3 SUMMARY OF TEST METHODThis standard contains the procedure used to measurethe complex modulus (G*), phase angle (sin 8) and shearmodulus (G*/sin 8) of binders using a Dynamic ShearRheometer and parallel plate test geometry. Thestandard is suitable for use when the comp!ex modulus(G*) varies between 100 Pa and 10 MPa. The range oftest temperature lies in between 350C and 85Cdepending upon grade, type and conditioning of thetest sample. Test specimen of 1mmthic~ 25 mm diameteror 2 mm thick and 8 mm diameter are prepared betweenparallel metal plates. During the testing, one of theparallel plate is oscillated with respect to the other atpre-selected frequency and rotational deformationamplitudes. The required amplitudes depend upon thevalues of complex shear modulus of binders beingtested. The test specimen is maintained at the testtemperature within *O. 1C by heatkg and cooling ofupper and lower plates. The recommended frequencyof testing is 10 rad/s. The complex modulus (G*) andphase angle (sin 6) are calculated as apart of theoperation of the rheometer using software availablewith the equipment.

C=l TEST EQUIPMENTThe test equipment comprises following items :

a) Dynamic Shear Rheometer Test System Adynamic shear rheometer consisting of parallelmetal plates, an environmental chamber, aloading device and a control and dataacquisition system.

b) Test Plates Metal test plates with polishedsurface, one 8 + 0.5 mm in diameter and one25 + 0.05 mm in diameter, The base plate insome rheometer is a flat plate.

c) Environmental Chamber A chamber forcontrolling the test specimen temperature byheating or cooling. The medium for heatingand cooling the specimen in the environmentalchamber is either a gas or liquid that will notaffect binder properties. The temperature inthe chamber may be controlled by thecirculation of fluid or conditioned gas. Whenthe air is used as medium a suitable drier mustbe included to prevent condensation ofmoisture on the plates and fixture.

d) Temperature Controller A temperaturecontroller capable of maintaining specimentemperature within + O.10C for the testtemperature ranging from 35 to 850C is needed.A resistance thermal detector mounted insidethe environmental chamber, in intimate withfixed plate with a range of 35 to 850C readable

to the nearest 0.1 W. The detector shall be usedto control the temperature in the chamber andprovide a continues read out of the temperatureduring the mounting, conditioning and testingof the specimens.Loading Device The loading device shallbe capable to apply a sinusoidal oscillatoryload to the specimen at the frequency of 10rad/s. The loading device shall be capable ofproviding either a stress control or straincontrolled load. If the load is strain controlled,the loading shall apply a cyclic torquesuftlcient to cause an angular rotational strainaccurate to with in 100 micron radian of thestrain specified. If the load is stress controlled,the loading device shall apply a cyclic torqueaccurate with to within 10 mN.m of the torquespecified. Total system compliance to 100 N.mtorque shall be< 2m. rad/N.m.Control and Data Acquisition System Thecontrol and data acquisition system shallprovide a record of temperature, frequency,deflection angle and torque. The system shallbe capable to record and calculate the shearstress, shear strain, complex shear modulusand phase angle of binder at specified testtemperature.Specimen Mold A silicone rubber mold forpreparation of test specimen.Specimen Trimmer A specimen trimmer witha straight edge at least 4 mm wide.Calibrated Temperature Detector Acalibrated thermocouple, thermistor, or RTDwith a thickness or diameter

IS 15462:2004

placed in a refrigerator until it attains solid consistency.Then the sample is removed from the mold and placedbetween the fixed plate and oscillating spindle of theDSR. The excess binder beyond the edge of the spindleshould be trimmed. Regardless of the method used forpreparation of the specimen, the final step in preparingthe specimen is to slightly readjust the gap between thespindle and the lower plate so that a slight bulge isevident near the edge of the spindle. This step is normallyoccur immediately prior to the testing. The thickness ofthe bitumen binder disk sandwiched between thespindle and fixed plate must be carefidly controlled. Theproper specimen thickness is achieved by adjusting thegap between the spindle and fixed plate. This gap mustbe set before mounting the binder sample but whilespindle and base plate are mounted in the rheometer atthe test temperature. The gap is adjusted by means ofa micrometer wheel. The micrometer wheel is graduatedusually in units of micron. Turning the wheel allowsprecise positioning the spindle and base plate relatedto each other. On some rheometer, the micrometer wheelmoves the spindle down. On other, it moves the baseplate up. Thickness of the gap use depend on the testtemperature. High test temperature of 460C or greaterrequire a small gap of 1 mm. High temperaturemeasurement require a large spindle (25 mm) and lowtemperature a small spindle (8 mm). With the specimenmounted, the operator shall set the gap at the desiredvalue of 1 000 or 2 000 micron. After the specimen istrimmed flush with upper plate, the extra 50 micron isdialed so that gap is exactly at the desired value andspecimen bulges slightly.

C-6 TEST PROCEDUREBring the specimen to the test temperature +0. 10C.Afterthe sample is correctly in place and test temperatureappear stable then allow the specimen for 10 min at theset temperature of the specimen to equilibrate. The actualtemperature equilibration time is equipment dependentand should be checked using a dummy specimen withvery accurate temperature sensing capabilities.

When operating in a strain control mode, testing consistof using the rheometer software to select appropriatestrain value as under:

Material kPa Target StrainStrain, % Range, %

Original binder 1.O(G*/sin5) 12 9-15TFOT residue 2.2(G*/sin 8) 10 8-12When operating in a stress controlled mode, select anappropriate stress level using sof~are as under :

Material kPa Target StressStress, kPa Range kPa

Original binder 1.O(G*/sin 5) 0.12 0.09-0.15TFOT residue 2.2(G*/sin 8) 0.22 0.18-0.26

Testing consist of using rheometer software to set theDSR to apply a constant oscillating stress and recordingthe resulting strain and time lag. The specificationrequire oscillation speed to 10 radls, which isapproximately 1.59 Hz. A computer is used with DSR tocontrol test parameter and record test results. Theoperator need not worry about setting the value ofapplied stress. Instead, the operator should set theapproximate value of shear strain. Shear strain valuesvary from 1-12 percent and depend on the stiffness ofthe binder being used . Relatively soft materials testedat high temperature are tested at strain values ofapproximately 10-12 percent. Hard materials are testedat strain value of about 1 percent. In the initial stage ofthe test, rheometer measures the stress required toachieve the set shear strain and then maintains this stressvery precisely during the test. The shear strain can varysmall amounts from the set value to achieve the constantstress. Variation in shear strain is normally control ledby rheometer software. In the beginning of the test, thesample is fust conditioned by loading the specimen for10 cycles and then 10 additional cycles and then areapplied to obtained test data. The rheometer softwareautomatically compute and report values of complexmodulus (G*) phase angle (sin 8).

C-7 INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS AND DATAPRESENTATION

The complex modulus (G*) and phase angle (sin b)decrease with increasing shear strain. A linear regionmay be defined at small region where the modulus isrelatively independent of shear strain. This region willvary with magnitude of complex modulus . The linearregion is defined as range in strains where the complexmodulus is 95 percent or more of the Ostrain value. Theshear stress varies nearly tlom O at the centre of theplates to a maximum at the extremities of the plateperimeter. The shear stress is calculated from the appliedor measured torque, measure or applied strain and thegeometry of the test specimen. For the presentspecification only value of G* and sin 6 are required. Acomplete report includes following parameters:

a) G* to the nearest three significant figures,b) sin 6 to the nearest 0.1 degrees,c) test plate size to nearest 0.1 mm and gap to

nearest 1 yrrL

d) test temporary to the nearest O.lC,e) test frequency to the nearest 0.1 rad/s, andf) strain amplitude to the nearest 0.01 percent.

The test temperature as per requirement of specificationfor complex modulus value of 1kPa(G*/sin 8) for originalbinder and 2.2 kpa (G*/sin 8) for residue of thin filmoven test shall be calculated from the plot of (G*/sin 6)and temperature for compliance of specification.
