Bitumen and Its Modifier for Use in Pavement Engineering

Mehrdad Honarmand, Javad Tanzadeh and Mohamad Beiranvand

A chapter in Sustainable Construction and Building Materials from IntechOpen

Abstract: This chapter focuses on bitumen specifically. This chapter consists of several parts that can be mentioned, including the history of the appearance of bitumen and the types of constituent elements, as well as its mechanical properties and chemical structure and its thermal sensitivity. In all parts, the effects of bitumen on asphalt are discussed. In the following sections, the bitumen modification mechanism, polymer modifiers, and their behavior on the bitumen resistance to asphalt failures are also discussed. This chapter is very suitable for students and researchers interested in improving polymerization asphalt and bitumen and will help them to carry out research and concepts.
