This paper describes an update and overview of the use of Bitumen-Rubber (BR) in South Africa. The South African experience with the transfer of the Bitumen-Rubber Technology to mainland China is also discussed briefly. The design procedures and construction practices used for the construction of Bitumen-Rubber Asphalt in rehabilitation projects in
•The grading envelope for BRASO used in South Africa is wide compared to international practise and the VMA and VFB of mixes used internationally is generally higher, •The mixing and reaction of the rubber crumb and binder is done at lower temperatures internationally, •The need for the use of extender oil is questioned,
2. BITUMEN RUBBER JUSTIFICATION . Bitumen-Rubber binder in South Africa costs approximately 30% more than an unmodified binder resulting in a chip seal that is about 10% more expensive than a conventional seal. Road authorities therefore expect a full justification of the use of B-R. The following paragraphs deal shortly with the topic.

The result is that different processes were developed for making bitumen–rubber (BR) asphalt. The objective of the paper is to present and compare the BR specifications and asphalt experience in Russia and in South Africa (which was derived from the USA approach).
The outstanding success of Bitumen-rubber (B-R) asphalt over the past 15 to 20 years in South Africa has revived interest in this product in recent years. This success became prevalent in 1998 with the report on the 12-year service life of bitumen-rubber asphalt on the Buccleuch Interchange [Potgieter et al. 1998].

In South Africa most bitumen used in road construction is processed at oil refineries in Cape Town, Durban and burg, where imported crude oils are refined to produce petrol, diesel fuel and other petroleum based products. The locations of the four refineries in South Africa are shown in Figure 2.
The bitumen rubber consisted of 80/100 penetration-grade bitumen (72-82%), rubber crumbs (18-24%) and extender oil (0-4%) was blended by a commercial asphalt mix …

The South Africa National Road Agency Ltd has entered into a research and laboratory testing agreement with the CSIR to support the revision of the South African Pavement Design Method (SAPDM). The research includes characterising a bitumen-rubber semiopen graded mix, known in South Africa as BRASO.
The asphalt pavement industry has seen an increase in use of different types of modifiers in an attempt to improve or extend the properties of bitumen. Common modifiers used in South Africa include plastomers (e.g. ethylene vinyl acetate or EVA), elastomers (e.g. styrene-butadiene-styrene or SBS) and warm mix additives (e.g. waxes).
Bitumen-rubber asphalt (BRA) has been used successfully in South Africa since its introduction in the early 1980's. The early mixes were produced using the 'dry' blend method whereby the rubber crumb was added as filler to the aggregates in the hot mix asphalt manufacturing process. The 'wet' blend method has subsequently

Bitumen: From Ancient Origins to Modern Impact in Africa Africa is currently experiencing an unprecedented surge in construction and infrastructure development. As nations prepare for rapid urbanization and economic growth, the demand for high-quality construction materials has reached new heights.
Abstract. In South Africa, an empirical characterisation of crumb rubber modified (CRM) bituminous binders has historically been the only means of predicting their performance in pavement layers, short of constructing pavement test sections.An improved characterisation is provided by means of rheological analysis using a dynamic shear …

Overview In June 2024 South Africa's Bitumen and asphalt exports accounted up to ZAR28.3M and imports accounted up to ZAR8.34k, resulting in a positive trade balance of ZAR28.3M. Between June 2023 and June 2024 the exports of South Africa's Bitumen and asphalt have increased by ZAR10.8M (61.9%) from ZAR17.5M to ZAR28.3M, while …

ABSTRACT:Bitumen rubber chip and spray seals have been used successfully in South Africa since 1982 and mostly on road rehabilitation projects. The main advantage of bitumen rubber seals extra over a standard binder is its superior waterproofing as well as its ability to prevent reflective cracks breaking through the newly placed chip seals or ...
