Comprehensive study on the degradation progress of crumb tire rubber during the preparation of terminal blended rubberized asphalt binder

Terminal blended rubberized asphalt binder (TB) technology, which blends crumb tire rubber (CR) with asphalt under high interaction conditions, offers a promising waste tire recycling solution for pavement construction. By precisely controlling the degradation progress of CR, it is possible to prepare TB with specific property requirements....

The continuous swelling-degradation behaviors and chemo-rheological properties of waste crumb rubber modified bitumen considering the effect of rubber size

The chemo-rheological properties of crumb rubber modified bitumen are always unstable due to the mutable and uncontrollable swelling-degradation degree of crumb rubber in bitumen matrix. The study aimed at exploring the continuous swelling and degradation behaviors of crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRMB) considering the influence of rubber size...
