Abstract:

This master's theseis deals with comparison of two design concepts for producting asphalt mixture with CRmB. These design concepts are from Sweden and USA. The theoretical part sets parameters for design of asphalt mixture and chracteristic tests. In the practical part test speciements of design asphatl mixture undergo performace tests that simulate climate and traffic load. Results are compared to mathematical model used in program LayEps.

Keywords:

Bitumen, asphalt mixture, rubber granulate, Crumb Rubber modified Bitumen (CRmB), performance tests, low tempature charasteristics, stiffness, fatigue, LayEps
