Özet

Most bituminous binders used in asphalt pavements come from petroleum refineries. Studies on alternative materials that would improve the performance of bituminous materials in the highway sector have increased as a result of worries about the environment, reserves, and economy brought on by the usage of materials produced from petroleum. This study aimed to assess the effects of a new modifier including  tall oil and boron named TOBO on an asphalt binder at low-temperatures after it was created successfully in a lab. To achieve this, asphalt binders that had been changed with TOBO at certain ratios conducted the Frass Breaking Point Test and Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) Test. Based on the findings of both examinations, it was shown that the addition offers resistance by lessening the original asphalt binder's propensity for cracking at low-temperatures. Morever, it was determined that the Fraas breaking point decreased by 40% at 5% additive content. Consequently, it indicates that it may be applied as a substitute addition in cold climate areas when the asphalt binder is modified using the newly created TOBO additive.
