This utility model relates to
road construction, specifically to stabilizing additives for
stone mastic asphalt concrete mixtures. A
cellulose stabilizing additive is proposed, obtained from
waste paper by treatment with a solution of
sodium dodecyl sulfate and
sodium hypochlorite, followed by washing,
drying, and
grinding. The additive is added to the
stone mastic asphalt concrete mixture at a rate of 0.4–0.8% by weight. The objective of the invention is to obtain a stabilizing additive for a
crushed stone-mastic
asphalt concrete mixture, which allows for a reduction in the runoff of the bitumen binder and an increase in the stability of the
coating using a simplified technology for its production. The technical result consists in reducing the flow rate of the bitumen binder, increasing the resistance of the stone-mastic
asphalt concrete mixture to rutting and improving the strength characteristics of the
coating while eliminating an additional binding component and simplifying the technology for producing the additive. This technical result is achieved by the fact that the stabilizing additive is
cellulose fibers obtained from paper waste by treatment with a solution of
sodium dodecyl sulfate and
sodium hypochlorite, followed by washing,
drying and
grinding, while the additive is introduced into the
stone mastic asphalt concrete mixture in an amount of 0.4–0.8 wt.%.
