  Investigation of Fatigue Performance of Hot Mix Asphalt Mixtures Modified with Elvaloy and Phosphoric Acid (PPA) as an Alternative to SBS Polymer

  Furtana-Yalcin, Beyza; Ozaslan, M.

  In this study, the combined use of Elvaloy and phosphoric acid (PPA) was investigated to enhance the performance of asphalt concrete (Hot Mix Asphalt - HMA) layers used in flexible pavement structures under increasing traffic loads and environmental conditions. These additives, considered as alternatives to Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) polymer, were evaluated solely for their effects on the mechanical performance of HMA mixtures. Binders modified with Elvaloy/PPA at specified proportions were used to produce HMA specimens, and indirect tensile fatigue tests were conducted on these samples. The experimental results indicated that the addition of Elvaloy and PPA improved the mechanical properties of mixtures prepared with bituminous binders, extended fatigue life, and enhanced the strength and deformation resistance of asphalt mixtures at the selected proportions. The findings suggest that the Elvaloy/PPA additive combination could be a viable alternative to SBS polymer and has the potential to extend the service life of hot mix asphalt. Thus, it was concluded that the use of these additives contributes to improving HMA performance and supports sustainable pavement design.
