Abstract
This study has included a modulation of the rheological properties of asphalt by a catalyst chemical
treatment with polycarbonate, and the microwave technique was used at a power of (360) watt at time
intervals. Furthermore, the modulation and treatment were done in the presence of sulfur and
polycarbonate. The formed rheological properties of the new asphalt samples were studied which
include (permeability, softening point ,ductility and penetration index). Those asphalt samples of the
new rheological properties could be used in paving field and some other samples could be used as antimoisture materials.
The best asphalt samples with new rheological properties and those conformable with the properties
of roads authority and Iraqi bridges were tested as a tiled asphalt since they were studied in terms of
conducting Marshall tests and comparing them with the original sample in order to show the possibility
of using the modified samples in the tiling and the obtained results were excellent in terms of stable
creeping values. In addition the aging test was applied on the samples that contain good rheological
properties.
Moreover, the modified asphalt has shown higher dissociation values in comparison with the
original asphalt, so the modified asphalt has more resistant to high temperature and acid rains and
shows an important characteristic of the quality of the asphalt that enables the modified asphalt to stick
more closely to the aggregate, which gives higher resistance and greater operating age life to the
streets
