| Özet |
| With the increasing population and traffic volume, the demand for high-performance pavement materials has become necessary. This necessity has encouraged researchers to explore novel additives and materials to enhance bitumen performance. Although various additives have been investigated over the years, recent studies have increasingly focused on sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective solutions for bitumen modification. Consequently, research on incorporating waste and sustainable materials in bitumen modification has been steadily expanding. This study investigates the applicability of T-Flex, a product of the Tayraş Refinery, for bitumen modification and its effects on physical properties. Accordingly, modified bitumen samples were prepared by adding T-Flex at 5% and 10% by weight of the bitumen, followed by penetration, softening point and rotational viscosity tests. The experimental results revealed that T-Flex addition increased the penetration values and decreased the softening point and penetration index, indicating a softening effect and increased temperature susceptibility of the bitumen. Furthermore, T-Flex significantly reduced the rotational viscosity, improving the workability of the bitumen at mixing and compaction temperatures. These findings suggest that T-Flex can effectively enhance the flexibility and workability of bitumen. However, its use should be optimized depending on application requirements, considering the mechanical performance. |
