Stiffness modulus properties of hot mix asphalt containing waste engine oil

This study presents the effect of waste engine oil (WEO) on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt mixtures. It was added into mixture at 0%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% and 15% by weight of binder. The mechanical properties of the mixes were evaluated by conducting indirect tensile stiffness modulus (ITS...

Description
Summary:This study presents the effect of waste engine oil (WEO) on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt mixtures. It was added into mixture at 0%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% and 15% by weight of binder. The mechanical properties of the mixes were evaluated by conducting indirect tensile stiffness modulus (ITSM) at temperatures of 25C and 40C. The results indicated that modified mixes exhibited lower stiffness modulus with the increasing amount of WEO as well as testing temperature. The increasing amount of WEO was found to have a good linear correlation to the decreasing of stiffness modulus. The finding showed that the WEO has the significant role as a softening agent which affected the stiffness modulus even at low percentage.
