BitutechRAP) on Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) binder as seen from the asphalt binder stiffness
modulus (Sbit) based on laboratory testing using Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) Frequency
Sweep which is compared to Sbit resulting from analysis using Van der Poel nomograph under
RTFO (rolling thin film oven) conditions. The comparison was analyzed by looking at the
adjustment factor produced from each type of asphalt binder testing. The types of asphalt
binders tested were pen 60/70 as control asphalt binder, 23% BioCS mixed in RAbinder, and

1. Introductions
The development of technology for the reuse of material waste from the dredging of old road
pavements in Indonesia has increased research related to reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). As a
waste material from flexible pavement, RAP consists of reclaimed asphalt (RA) binder and reclaimed
asphalt (RA) aggregate. For application in the field, RAP is directly used in conjunction with a
rejuvenating agent to restore its performance. The level of the rejuvenator used is usually obtained
from the results of testing in the laboratory before the RAP laying activities in the field. The RA
binder extracted from RAP was tested to see its characteristics and to determine the appropriate
content of the astringent.
Rejuvenator is a rejuvenating agent commonly used in asphalt recycling technology to restore
performance from flexible pavement waste that has decreased in performance. Most rejuvenators used
in asphalt production are liquid additives which are essential oils with much higher concentrations of

maltenes. The rejuvenators used in asphalt mix technology using RAP consist of various categories
including paraffinic oils, aromatic extracts, naphthenic oils, triglycerides and fatty acids, and tall oils.
Several types of rejuvenating paraffinic oils have been widely used by several studies to improve the
performance of aging asphalt such as RA binders from road pavements and shingles, for example
waste engine oil (WEO) type [1][5], WEO bottoms type [3], [6][9], Valero VP 165 [10], and
Storbit [1]. Examples of rejuvenators with the category of aromatic extracts, including hydrolene [11],
[12], Reclamite [13], Cyclogen L [14], ValAro 130A [10]. Then the Naphthenic oils category,
including SonneWarmix RJ [15] and Ergon hyprene [10]. In the Triglycerides and fatty acids category,
for example, Waste vegetable oil/waste cooking oil [16], while for the Tall oils category, for example,
Sylvaroad RP1000 [17], [18] and Hydrogreen [7], [19][25].
In Indonesia, the use of rejuvenating materials for asphalt mixtures containing RAP still relies on
imports from various types of categories, so to reduce the need for imports of these rejuvenating
materials, in the Sihombing study, 2020, using coconut shell waste that has been processed into
coconut shell bio-asphalt binder (bioCS) as a local rejuvenating agent which is included in the Tall oils
category with vegetable grease type waste, in his study showed that the use of bioCS in AC-WC
asphalt mixtures containing up to 30% RAP could provide performance in accordance with
specifications [24].
Bitumen or asphalt binder is a material that is viscous-elastic, where the properties of this material
will change from viscous to elastic depending on the temperature and time of loading. At high
temperatures and long loading times, bitumen will behave as a viscous-liquid, whereas at low
temperatures and short loading times, bitumen will be elastic-solid. The change in bitumen properties
from elastic to viscous and vice versa occurs slowly. The condition that commonly occurs in bitumen
is a transition from these two properties, namely bitumen will be viscous-elastic. So that in testing the
characteristics of bitumen it will depend on the temperature and time of loading, one of the bitumen
test parameters that accommodates this is the asphalt binder stiffness modulus (Sbit).
According to Van Der Poel (1954) the term bitumen stiffness (Sbit) is defined as the ratio between
stress and strain on asphalt binder, at a certain temperature and loading time [26]. The asphalt stiffness
modulus (Sbit) can be estimated using a nomograph Van der Poel [27], through penetration and
softening point data of asphalt or it can also be done by testing Oscillation using a Dynamic Shear
Rheometer (DSR) with input frequency variations (frequency sweep). certain temperature. So in
testing the characteristics of the RA binder, the important things that need to be tested are penetration
testing, softening point and Sbit.
This study intends to examine the effect of using bioCS on the RA binder, compared with
BitutechRAP (rejuvenator with the tall oils category) which is seen from the asphalt binder stiffness
modulus (Sbit) based on laboratory testing using Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) frequency sweep
which is compared to Sbit produced from analysis using the Van der Poel Nomograph for the modified
asphalt binder category in the recovered or Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO) condition. This is done to
see how much accuracy the DSR test results are, through the value of the adjustment factor (af)
resulting from the comparison of Sbit values at the same conditions, temperature and loading time, the
smaller the af value, the more accurate the DSR test results.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Reclaimed Asphalt Binder
Reclaimed asphalt binder (RA binder) is an asphalt binder that has undergone oxidation, an asphalt
binder extracted from the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). So that the RA binder can be said as a
substandard material that has performance far below the standard specifications required as a material
for asphalt mixtures.
Based on research conducted by Kou, et al in 2017, it is known that RAP taken from 10 different
locations in China has different characteristics, so an appropriate method is needed to identify the
grade of RA binder, viscosity at 135 °C and penetration at high temperature [28]. 25 °C is the most

consistent temperature for obtaining grades of RA binder. In this study, the RA binder extracted from
RAP from the old asphalt dredging in Karawang, West Java, Indonesia, was then tested for its
characteristics based on penetration at 25° C, and softening point.
In extracting asphalt binder from RAP, centrifugal extraction method which is processed under cold
conditions is the most appropriate method to minimize the aging of asphalt binder during the RAP
extraction process [29] while the solvent used is trichlorethylene, which is a solvent commonly used
for the extraction of RA binders [30]. To recover asphalt binder from solvent after extraction process,
a rotary evaporator [31] was used in this study. The description of the extraction and recovery process
for RA binder can be seen in figures 1 and figure 2, with the extraction results in figure 3. While the
results of the RAP characteristic test can be seen in table 1.

2.3. Bio-rejuvenators
Bioasphalt is an alternative to asphalt binder made from biomass/non-petroleum materials based on
renewable resources, apart from being a full asphalt binder replacement (100% replacement),
bioasphalt can also be used as an extender (25% - 75% replacement) or as a modifier (< 10 %
replacement) in this case as a curing agent for sub-standard materials and as an additive to reduce
asphalt viscosity which has an impact on mixing temperature and compaction temperature [32].
Biorejuvenator is bioasphalt that function as a rejuvenating agent, in this study the biorejuvantor
used was derived from coconut shell waste or commonly called BioCS and BitutechRAP, both of
which are included in the tall oils category. BioCS is a local biorejuvenator produced in Indonesia, as
a country that has enormous natural wealth, coconut production in Indonesia reaches 3 million tons per

year, coconut shell waste produced in Indonesia is 360 thousand tons per year [33], this shows that
apart from the huge and sustainable potential for producing BioCS, environmental issues related to
coconut shell waste can also be addressed. While bitutechRAP is a rejuvenating agent from
hydrogreen in the United States. The description of the two types of biorejuvenators is depicted in

2.4. Bio-rejuvenator mixing with RA binder
The mixing of the bio-rejuvenator with the RA binder was carried out in a hot temperature of
120 C using a magnetic stirrer with a hot plate with a stirring speed of 0.4 0.6 kr/sec for 15
20 minutes. [34]. Varian of bio-rejuvenator content used in this study were 0%; 4%; 8%; 16%;
20%; 25%; and 30% by weight of RA binder. Furthermore, each mixture of bio-rejuvenator and RA
binder is tested using the basic rheology of the asphalt binder (penetration and softening point), for the
biorejuvenator content that produces the penetration and softening point values according to the
specifications pen 60/70, then used to become optimum content of bio-rejuvenator in the manufacture
of specimens for testing stiffness modulus using a DSR device and testing input parameters on a Van
der Poel nomograph. The results of the basic rheology testing of various bio-rejuvenators are shown in
figure 5. The results of these tests obtained the optimum bio-rejuvenator content of 23% for BioCS
and 17% for BitutechRAP.

2.5. Stiffness Modulus of Asphalt Binder
2.5.1. Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)
Mechanistic asphalt binder rheology testing (G* and d) was carried out using the DSR (figure 6) with
reference to AASHTO T315 10 [35]. DSR testing is carried out on 3 (three) asphalt binder
conditions, namely original (unaged binder) which describes the first stage of delivery and storage,
conditions after RTFOT which describes the second stage, namely aging during production in the
asphalt mixing unit and implementation in the field as well as conditions after PAVT which describes
the final stage of aging during the service life of the pavement. The DSR frequency sweep test is
carried out to measure rheological changes due to variations in loading time (frequency) at a certain
temperature, the test is carried out at a frequency range of 0.2 100 Hz, at temperatures of 25 °C, 30
°C, 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C with a strain magnitude of 0.1%.
In the comparative analysis, the conditions used are RTFO conditions, at the same temperature as
the DSR test and the loading time (t) of 0.02 seconds is proportional to the loading frequency of 8 Hz,
which is also considered to represent vehicle speeds ranging from 30 mph 40 mph [36].

2.5.2. Van der Poel Nomograph
To determine the viscous-elastic properties of bitumen, Van der Poel (1954) introduced the concept of
bitumen stiffness modulus (Sbit) as an analogy of the stiffness modulus of solids. This bitumen
stiffness modulus is used as the basis for determining the mechanistic properties of bitumen.
Figure 7. Van der poel nomograph.
In a viscoelastic object such as bitumen, the tensile stress applied at the time of loading t = 0 will
also produce strain. The amount of strain that occurs will increase but the magnitude of the increase is
not proportional to the given load. The bitumen stiffness modulus can be estimated using the
nomograph developed by Van der Poel (1954) (figure 7). The input parameters used to estimate the
bitumen stiffness modulus using this nomograph are:
1. Temperature, (T), °C.
2. Softening Point Recovered (SPr) from ring and ball test, °C.
3. Time of Loading, (t), second.
4. Penetration Index (PI), which is a measure of temperature susceptibility (equation 1).
The value of the penetration index (PI) of bitumen in this nomograph is considered to represent the
properties of bitumen and is calculated using the formula derived by Pfeiffer et al., (1936) [37],
namely:
(1)
The value of A is the gradient of the relationship line between the logarithm of penetration and the
temperature at which the penetration test is carried out, so that:
(2)
Research conducted by Pfeiffer et al. (1936) showed that at the Softening Point (SP) temperature
obtained from the Ring and Ball Softening Point test, almost all bitumen types have a penetration
value of 800. Based on this, the determination of the A value from the equation 2 can be simplified to:

3.1. Van der Poel Nomograph Input Parameter
To determine the Sbit value based on the Van der Poel Nomograph, the input parameters need to be
known by testing the penetration and softening point under RTFO conditions in the laboratory, the
levels of biorejuvenators used to rejuvenate the RA binder are 23% BioCS and 17% BitutechRAP
[23]. The data for the input parameters are presented in table 4.

3.2. Stiffness Modulus of Binder (Sbit) Result (DSR versus Van der Poel Nomograph)
The asphalt binder stiffness modulus (Sbit) resulting from the DSR test is compared with the Sbit
generated from the Van der Poel Nomograph based on the input data given in table 4 which is then
plotted on the Nomograph as shown in figure 6. The Sbit of both are shown in table 5 and figure 8.
Based on the results of the DSR test (table 5), it can be seen that the stiffness modulus value of
BioCS+RAbinder is smaller than BitutechRAP+Rabinder, although both types of asphalt binder still
have Sbit values greater than Pen 60/70, but when compared with Sbit RA binder, it is known that
decrease in asphalt binder stiffness value. This shows that there is rejuvenation of the RA binder after
being added by the Biorejuvenator, BioCS seems to be able to lower the Sbit value of the RA binder
more than BitutechRAP. The decrease in Sbit value in the RA binder after the addition of
Biorejuvenator is also seen from the results of the Sbit analysis based on the van der Poel diagraph, the

Sbit results from the diagraph show the same pattern as the results of the Sbit test with DSR, which
shows that BioCS lowers the Sbit value more than BitutechRAP.

3.3. Adjustment Factor of Sbit
After knowing the Sbit results from each method, then the adjustment factor is calculated to see the
level of accuracy of the DSR test on the Van der Poel Nomograph. Table 6 shows the results of the
overall adjustment factor (af) calculation, the comparison of the results of the Sbit DSR before and
after multiplied by the adjustment factor is depicted in figure 9.

Figure 9. Before and after adjustment factor of DSR Sbit.
In table 6, the adjustment factor is 1.61 with an average ratio of 1.27, an increase compared to the
average ratio before multiplied by the adjustment factor, which is 0.6. Based on these data, it is known
that the Sbit value from the DSR and Van der Poel test results is not too much different in value. In
figure 9 it can be seen that the line after multiplying the slope adjustment factor is close to the equality
line, which means that the Sbit nomograph is almost the same as the Sbit of the DSR laboratory test.
Furthermore, each type of asphalt binder is calculated as an adjust factor to see which type of
asphalt binder has the Sbit DSR closest to the Sbit Van der Poel value. This value can be used as a
parameter to determine how much influence the biorejuvenator has on the RA binder (table 7).
From table 7, it is known that the results of adding BioCS to RA binder provide a DSR Sbit
value that is closer to the Van der Poel nomograph compared to BitutechRAP, this can be
seen from the resulting adjustment factor value which is smaller, namely 2.84 and almost
close to the adjustment factor value of pen 60/70.

4. Conclusions
The conclusion of this study is that the DSR test for the four types of asphalt binder resulted in an
adjustment factor of 2.67 with an average ratio after adjustment of 0.75 and a ratio, this indicates that
the DSR value of Sbit has a significant difference with the Van der Poel Nomograph. Meanwhile,
based on the value of the adjustment factor for each type of asphalt binder, it shows that the addition
of BioCS in RA binder is more influential than BitutechRAP, this is indicated by the adjustment factor
value of BioCS+RAbinder which is close to the value of pen 60/70. This shows that the use of bioCS
as a rejuvenating agent for RA binders can be used and the research can continue on a field scale,

In previous years, the world witnessed great urban development which increased interest in this aspect. To keep pace with this development, several things and new materials have been created to raise the standard of road construction. One of these things is the use of nanomaterials. Currently, the use of nanomaterials has become common to improve the asphalt mixtures which are used in the construction of flexible pavement because of the rise in traffic volumes and vehicles loads. This study deals with review of past related studies that improving the properties of asphalt mixtures through the use of nanometakaoline in the hot asphalt mixture in different proportions. Different proportions of nanometakaoline were used for the Hot Mixture Asphalt properties revised in these studies which were shown that the adding of nano-metakaoline led to improve the properties of Hot Mixture Asphalt to resist the traffic load and environmental effects. They used Marshall Test, indirect test, wheel track tests and others tests to exam the properties of improved Hot Mixture Asphalt and compared with the standard mixture (control).

One innovation in creating new materials that have superior properties compared to large-sized materials is to use nanotechnology. The uniqueness of nano materials is that the smaller the size of the material, the greater the surface area and performance characteristics of the material in the asphalt mixture. This research develops nano technology in asphalt pavement construction by making nano material from palm shell ash waste. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of adding palm shell ash nano material as a substitute for asphalt in the AC-WC mixture. The research method was carried out by testing the morphological characterization of the palm shell ash nano material using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) testing and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) testing, then continuing with testing the characteristics of the mixture using the Marshall testing method. The nano material used is palm shell ash material obtained from palm shell burning waste originating from Riau which is then processed into Nano Palm Shell Ash (NPSA) material using a ball mill. The asphalt used is Pen 60/70 asphalt produced by Pertamina. The use of NPSA material in asphalt modification with NPSA variations of 1%, 2% and 3% can improve the performance of marshal characteristics compared to conventional asphalt mixtures. It can be seen that the stability, flow, VFA and MQ values increase with increasing NPSA percentage in asphalt. Meanwhile, the VIM and VMA values decreased along with the increase in the NPSA percentage in asphalt. In addition, increasing the percentage of NPSA in asphalt can reduce the use of optimum asphalt content compared to conventional asphalt mixtures. Utilizing palm shell ash waste is the best alternative for improving the performance of asphalt in mixtures and is environmentally friendly and economical.

This study investigates the use of bio-asphalt, derived from coconut shell (BioCS) and straw (BioST) as an additive to determine its benefits in asphalt mixtures containing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The study was conducted by determining and comparing the laboratory performance properties of four mixtures and the binders extracted from the mixes. The four mixtures evaluated in this study included 30% RAP mixtures with and without bio-asphalt (BioCS and BioST) and comparable virgin mix. The result showed that bio-asphalt was effective in improving mixture performance of 30% RAP mix close to those of the virgin mix.

This study aims to determine the potential of bioasphalt as a rejuvenating ingredient on aged asphalt. Two different bioasphalt are used, which is bioasphalt from coconut shell and bioasphalt bitutechRAP, aged asphalt is extracted from Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) taken from Karawang, West Java, and the original asphalt as a control is pen 60/70 from Pertamina. The samples were made by mixing each bioasphalt on aged asphalt at 7 different percentage of 2%, 4%, 8%, 16%, 20%, 25%, 30%, then each samples tested the penetration and softening point of asphalt (referring to control asphalt properties), to get the optimum percentage of bioasphalt. Samples with optimum bioasphalt then tested with FTIR for chemical structure and SEM for morphology. The results of this study are (1) the percentage optimum of bioasphalt as rejuvenator, which is 23% for bioasphalt coconut shell and 17% for bioasphalt bitutechRAP; (2) the addition of bioasphalt to aged asphalt shows that the morphological conditions, chemical structure and rheology of asphalt are almost close to the new asphalt condition; (3) bioasphalt are potencially as rejuvenator.

The use of large proportions of reclaimed asphalt pavement is necessary to meet the increasing demand for road construction materials in a sustainable way. One of the challenges of using a greater percentage of reclaimed asphalt pavement (>30%) is the greater stiffness of mixes incorporating it. While this stiffness problem is usually resolved by using different commercial rejuvenators, there are circumstances in which commercial rejuvenators are not available. Therefore, this study evaluates the potential of using waste engine oil as a substitute for commercial rejuvenators for the higher percentage of reclaimed asphalt pavement that could meet the increasing demand in a more sustainable way. To assess the possibility of using a higher percentage of reclaimed asphalt pavement in road construction, different percentages of reclaimed asphalt pavement (30%, 40%, and 50%) are used. Following the property of the aged binder, three different percentages (7%, 13%, and 20%) of waste engine oil are considered. Each percent of waste engine oil is incorporated with one of the three mixes. The mixes (with the minimum required Marshall criteria) are evaluated for different properties, namely, their indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus, and durability. Finally, those properties are compared to those of the mixes rejuvenated by commercial rejuvenators. It is observed that, for the aforementioned properties, 7% to 13% of waste engine oil is identical to the commercial rejuvenator for the mixes with 30% to 40% of reclaimed asphalt pavement.

Recycling asphalt technology is a technology that reuses of aged asphalt pavement that has been damaged and recycled as a new asphalt mixture material which in using it requires a modifier to restore the performance of aged asphalt. Bio-asphalt which is a fraction of bio-oil derived from biomass containing lignin has the potential as a modifier/rejuvenator for aged asphalt. The objective of this study is to determine the potential of the bio-asphalt as a modifier. Bio-asphalt modified aged asphalt binder is tested and evaluated based on AASHTO requirements. Best bio-asphalt content is suggested for modifying aged asphalt binder. Bio-asphalt modified aged asphalt binder were tested to know the mechanical properties by dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) temperature sweep test and frequency sweep test. In this study, the bio-asphalt used are coconut shell bio-asphalt (BioCS) and BitutechRAP, each of which was mixed with Aged asphalt binder from recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) extraction and controller asphalt binder use pen 60/70 (PG 64). The result showed that bio-asphalt can improve the mechanical performance of aged asphalt binder close to pen 60/70 as a controller.

In Canada, over 90% of the paved roads are asphalt pavements. Most of these pavements were built decades ago, which are currently exhibiting a significant amount of surface distresses. These distresses includes potholes, rutting (deformation in the wheel path), and cracking. To repair these distressed pavements, the road agencies spend millions of dollars every year, of which a significant portion goes to acquiring new natural aggregates and asphalt. To reduce the rehabilitation cost, road agencies use up to 100% reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) in new construction. However, the asphalt available in recycled pavements is oxidized and stiffened due to various environmental processes which are susceptible to thermal and fatigue cracking. To soften and to decrease the viscosity of the RAP materials, various rejuvenators are being in practice. The rejuvenators are able to reactivate and restore the original properties of this long-term aged asphalt binder. Using Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) is one of the eco-friendly solutions which contains the similar lighter oil components of asphalt and can be used as an acceptable rejuvenator. Recent studies showed that WCO has an excellent potential to be used as a good rejuvenator in the hot mix asphalt (HMA) industry. This review article summarizes the performance and adverse effects of WCO as a rejuvenator.

This study used multiple chemical-rheological tests to investigate the long-term characteristics of rejuvenating agents in reclaimed asphalt binders. To this end, a base binder and its blending with an extracted binder obtained from recycled asphalt pavements were selected, and two different types of rejuvenating agents: agriculture-based and petroleum-based agents were used to modify the blended binder. The base binder and the blended binders that were modified by the two rejuvenators were then aged using a typical laboratory long-term aging procedure. The chemical studies included: a saturates-aromatics-resins-asphaltenes (SARA) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and elemental (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen) analysis. The rheological tests primarily investigated the linear viscoelastic properties through aging and rejuvenation. The effects of rejuvenators on restoration were quite material-dependent, which was related to the different chemical compositions of the rejuvenators and their chemical-molecular interactions with the parent binder. The tests and analysis results showed that the immediate effects of rejuvenators are mostly the result of the addition of lighter molecules in rejuvenators, while the long-term effects were material-specific and further chemistry-driven. From the two rejuvenating agents studied herein, the petroleum-based material improves performance of the binder in the next round of service by preserving the chemical composition and maintaining the stability, whereas the agriculture-based agent used in this study might increase the aging issues because of its pre-existing high oxygen content, which could negatively affect long-term durability over service period.

The new environmental targets set to save natural resources and recover waste materials have been the basis for several scientific studies in different research areas. Consequently, this work aims at developing recycled stone mastic asphalt mixtures with high rates of waste materials, including reclaimed asphalt pavements, waste engine oil products, waste polyethylene and crumb rubber. This new solution was compared with a conventional stone mastic asphalt mixture. Several blends of high penetration bitumens modified with waste materials and reclaimed aged bitumen were evaluated through basic and advanced tests, and the most promising solutions were selected to produce recycled stone mastic asphalt mixtures for further characterization. The water sensitivity, permanent deformation and fatigue cracking performance of those mixtures incorporating high rates of different waste materials were generally improved. The exceptional behaviour of these recycled mixtures together with the high incorporation rate of waste materials demonstrate the innovative character of these solutions for the road paving industry.
