• To identify and characterize bio-binders and developing an ageing study

• To develop binder and mix design with Reclaimed Asphalt (RA)

• To compare behaviour of several mixes and select the most effective solution

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Bio-binder is an asphalt binder alternative made from non-petroleum-based renewable resources, which should not rival any food material, and have environmental and

economical benefits (Peralta et al. 2012)

BIOBINDERS

AIM

Project 1.2 (ESR2):Design and characterization of Reclaimed Asphalt mixes with biobinders

PROJECT

Bio-binders can be used in four different ways to decrease the demand for fossil-fuel-based bituminous binders:

A direct alternative binder (100% replacement) A bitumen extender (25-75% bitumen replacement) A bitumen modifier (<10% bitumen replacement)

A RAP bitumen rejuvenators
