Misturas betuminosas com borracha: adesividade ligante-agregado

Abstract

Os pneus usados são sem dúvida uma das maiores fontes de poluição do nosso planeta, não sendo conhecido o tempo de degradação do mesmo no meio ambiente. Os pneus são e sempre foram uma das problemáticas ambientais mais discutidas no seio da comunidade científica, que sempre estudou maneiras de reaproveitar as matérias-primas existentes no pneu. Ao longo dos anos foram vários os estudos que se focaram na possíbilidade de incorporar borracha em misturas betuminosas, por forma a melhorar o comportamento das mesmas. Esses estudos revelaram-se bastante positivos demostrando que a borracha melhora significativamente as propriedades das misturas. O fraco conhecimento sobre a forma como o betume modificado com borracha, ou a borracha propriamente dita vai interagir com os diferentes agregados, é um entrave para o dimensionamento de pavimentos com este tipo de misturas. Esta dissertação propõe o estudo do comportamento destas misturas quando formuladas com agregados de baixa adesividade. Isto para perceber até que ponto a borracha pode vir a substituir determinados aditivos químicos e orgânicos aquando da necessidade dos mesmos para melhorar o comportamento das misturas. Para iniciar o estudo experimental, foi escolhido um agregado de baixa adesividade, com o qual foram feitas várias formulações com e sem borracha, por forma a comparar o possível melhoramento das mesmas com o uso da borracha. Esta comparação foi essencialmente focada na adesividade do agregado perante a adição da borracha.

Used tires are surely a major cause of pollution in our planet, and the time they take to degrade in the environment is not yet known. This is one of the most discussed environmental issues within the scientific community, which has been studying ways to reuse the raw materials of tires. Over the years, several studies have made the possibility of adding rubber to bituminous mixtures a focus of attention, so as to improve their behaviour. Those studies proved to be very positive, showing that rubber significantly improves the properties of mixtures. The poor knowledge of how the rubber modified bitumen, or the rubber itself, will interact with different aggregates is an obstacle to sizing pavements with this type of mixtures. This dissertation aims to show the behavior of these mixtures when formulated with aggregates with low adhesiveness, in order to explore the extent to which rubber might replace certain chemical and organic additives, when they’re needed to improve the behavior of mixtures. An aggregate with low adhesiveness was chosen for the experimental study, wherewith several formulations were made with and without rubber, in order to compare their possible improvement with the use of rubber. This comparison was mainly focused on the adhesiveness of the aggregate before the addition of the rubber.
