Abstract
The present invention is a reduced noise elastic pavement
material which is applied to roadways and has a noise reducing effect
and a vibration reducing effect due to elasticity, air permeability, and
sound absorption. The reduced noise elastic pavement material has a
structure in which a hard aggregate and an elastic aggregate are
bonded together by a urethane binder. More specifically, the reduced
noise elastic pavement material is formed by a hard aggregate, an
elastic aggregate, and a urethane binder which bonds the hard
aggregate and the elastic aggregate together, in which the hard
aggregate is 10 to 75 % by volume of a total volume of the hard
aggregate and the elastic aggregate, and a two-component urethane
binder is used as the urethane binder.
Description
The present invention relates to a pavement which is applied to
roadways and has a noise reduction effect and a vibration reducing
effect due to the elasticity, air permeability, and sound absorption
thereof. Further, the present invention relates to a reduced noise
elastic pavement material which has a structure in which a hard
aggregate and an elastic aggregate are bonded together by a urethane
binder, and to a method of applying the reduced noise elastic pavement
material.
Conventionally, a pavement material formed by bonding rubber
chips together by a binder has high elasticity and has been mainly used
for sidewalks and sport stadiums from the aspects of impact
absorption when a person walks thereon and safety when the person
stumbles. On the other hand, an example of a pavement material for
roadways which results in less noise is a water draining pavement. It is
known that a tire noise is reduced by air permeability and sound
absorption due to voids formed at the drain pavement.
However, in the case of using a pavement material formed by
bonding rubber chips together by a binder, the amount of flexure with
respect to a load is so large that problems arise with respect to the
driving stability of a vehicle when the pavement material is applied to
roadways. Further, a tire is apt to slip when the pavement material is
wet. Moreover, because of its low strength, it is difficult to utilize the
pavement material formed by bonding rubber chips together by a
binder for roadways.
On the other hand, a drain pavement generally has a noise
reducing effect which allows a reduction in noise of about 3 dB. This
reduction in noise is due to the reduction in tire noise resulting from air
permeability and sound absorption due to the voids formed at the drain
pavement. However, it is difficult to obtain an even greater noise
reducing effect.
An object of the present invention is to provide a reduced noise
elastic pavement material which is formed by bonding a hard aggregate
and an elastic aggregate together by a urethane binder, and in which
less noise effect due to elasticity, air permeability, and sound
absorption and a reduction in vibration due to elasticity can be
obtained, and to a method of applying the pavement material.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, there
is provided a reduced noise elastic pavement material which includes a
hard aggregate, an elastic aggregate, and a urethane binder which
bonds the hard aggregate and the elastic aggregate together, wherein
the hard aggregate is 10 to 75 % by volume of the total volume of the
hard aggregate and the elastic aggregate, and a two-component
urethane binder is used as the urethane binder. In accordance with a
second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an applying
method of reduced noise elastic pavement material, including the steps
of; carrying out a milling step and/or a blast cleaning step by a shot-blasting
on a road surface; applying a primer to the road surface;
mixing a hard aggregate, an elastic aggregate, a urethane binder, or the
like by using a mixer to prepare a mixture; applying the mixture to the
road surface; and compacting the mixture, wherein the hard aggregate
is 10 to 75 % by volume of the total volume of the hard aggregate and
the elastic aggregate, and a two-component urethane binder is used for
the urethane binder.
According to the present invention, a rubber chip material
having a diameter of 10 mm or less is preferably used for the elastic
aggregate and colored rubber chips are used for a portion of or entire
elastic aggregate. On the other hand, the hard aggregate is preferably
used, which includes at least 5 % by weight of a component which
passes through a sieve opening of 1.18 mm.
A two-component urethane binder is used as the binder and is
formed by an isocyanate group terminated prepolymer and a polyol. An
organic silane is preferably added to the urethane binder in an amount
of 0.1 to 5 % by weight based on the weight of the urethane binder.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described
mainly with respect to a first aspect of the present invention.
Generation of tire noise from a road surface is caused by vibration
which is generated by the contact between a tire tread and the road
surface. Main sources of noise are the noise generated by the
vibration of a tread pattern or a sidewall, and the noise generated by
resonance of sound produced by the road surface and grooves such as
rib grooves, lug grooves, or the like.
However, in the case in which there are voids at the road
surface, for example, in the case of a drain pavement, resonance
within the grooves is hardly generated, such that noise itself is also
hardly generated, and further, the noise is reduced by sound
absorption by the drain pavement.
In the pavement material of the present invention, the
vibration is interfered with by providing the pavement material with
superior elasticity so as to reduce the noise which is caused by the
vibration of the tread pattern or the sidewall. Further, the same noise
reducing effect as that of a drain pavement material, which is caused
by the voids, can be expected.
With regard to elasticity, a pavement material formed by
bonding rubber chips together by a binder has superior elasticity and
has a high noise reducing effect because of the voids formed therein.
However, the amount of flexure with respect to a load is large. For
example, when the pavement material is used for roadways, the
turning response of a vehicle at the time of steering is delayed due to
the flexure of the road surface, such that the driving stability of the
vehicle significantly deteriorates. Further, the skid resistance of a
vehicle on this pavement when the pavement is wet is lower than that
on an ordinary road surface. Moreover, the strength of the pavement
material is not sufficient.
The skid resistance depends on the amount of the hard
aggregate. In order to ensure a skid resistance of 60 BPN or greater
(which is measured by using a portable skid resistance tester), the
amount of the hard aggregate must be 10 % or more of the total
amount of the aggregate (see Fig. 6). If the proportion of the hard
aggregate is small, the driving stability is affected not only by the skid
resistance but also by an increase in the amount of flexure due to the
weight of the vehicle. If the amount of the hard aggregate is too large,
elasticity deteriorates such that effect of resulting in less noise is
adversely affected (see Fig. 6). Accordingly, the hard aggregate is 10
to 75 % (volume ratio), preferably 50 to 75% (volume ratio) of the total
amount of the aggregate. As illustrated in Fig. 7 (skid resistance
measured by using a DF tester), the grain size of the hard aggregate is
desirably such that 5 % or more (weight ratio) of the hard aggregate is
fine grain components which pass through a sieve opening of 1.18
mm. The surface of the fine grain components is rough like sandpaper
to provide an anti-skid effect.
The hard aggregate generally includes, but is not limited to
including, a natural aggregate such as river gravel, river sand or the
like and a synthetic aggregate such as crushed stone, slag, ceramics
or the like. Stone, sand or the like is used in the hard aggregate in
order to ensure the strength of the pavement material and the wear
resistance thereof. Further, stone, sand or the like which is used in
the hard aggregate is exposed on the surface of the pavement material
so as to provide the anti-skid effect. From the viewpoint of skid
resistance, the grain size of the hard aggregate is desirably such that
the hard aggregate includes 5 % or more (weight ratio) of fine grain
components which pass through a sieve opening of 1.18 mm. The
surface of the fine grain components is rough like sandpaper to
provide the anti-skid effect.
Rubber chips, i.e., small pieces of rubber or a powder of
rubber, are used to provide the pavement with elasticity. Rubber
chips having a grain diameter of from 1 mm or less to around 10 mm
are suitable. Rubber chips having a grain diameter of 1 to 5 mm are
preferable because they are effective in providing elasticity and
forming voids. The rubber chips may be made of natural rubber or of
a synthetic rubber. Further, rubber chips, which are made by
mechanically grinding a vulcanized rubber product such as discarded
tires or the like, may be used.
Here, the hardness in the present invention means the JIS· A
hardness. The hard aggregate means an aggregate having a hardness
of 95 degrees or more. The elastic aggregate refers to an aggregate
having a hardness of 90 degrees or lower. The rubber chips in the
example which will be described later have a hardness of about 65
degrees. The hardness of a discarded tire is generally 60 to 70
degrees, and the hardness of a discarded tire to which heat is applied
is about 80 to 90 degrees.
A urethane binder is used to bond the aggregates so as to form
the pavement material. It is preferable to use a two-component
urethane binder which is prepared by mixing an isocyanate group
terminated prepolymer with a polyol with an equivalent ratio of the
hydroxyl groups to the isocyanate groups being, for example, 0.2 to
0.8. For example, the isocyanate group terminated prepolymer is such
that the isocyanate content is 5 to 25 %, the viscosity is 1000 to 5000
CP (25°C), and the average number of functional groups of the
isocyanate group terminated prepolymer is 2 to 3. Examples of the
isocyanate for the prepolymer include, for example, a
diphenylmethane diisocyanate-based polyisocyanate. Polyalkylene
glycol having a molecular weight of 1000 to 3000 is usually used as an
active hydrogen compound used for modification.
On the other hand, a preferable polyol has an average number
of functional groups of 2 to 6, and an average molecular weight of 1000
or less. Further, one-half of or more than one-half of the hydroxyl
groups of the polyol are preferably primary hydroxyl groups in view of
the reactivity thereof Examples of the polyol include ethylene glycol,
diethylene glycol, polyalkylene ether glycol, or the like.
Because the hardening time is determined mostly by the
temperature at the time of laying the pavement material and the period
of time until traffic is allowed thereon, it is possible to adjust the
hardening time by adjusting the mixing ratio of the isocyanate group
terminated prepolymer to the polyol. For example, the mixing ratio
can be appropriately selected from the range of 0.2 to 1.0 of the
equivalent ratio of the hydroxyl groups/the isocyanate groups.
Although use of a one-component urethane binder may be considered,
it is difficult to adjust the hardening time, and further, one-component
urethane binders are not widely used. As compared with the case of
using a one-component urethane binder, in the case of using a two-component
urethane binder, it is easy to adjust the hardening time
and is generally possible to reduce the hardening time. Accordingly, it
is stipulated in the present invention that a two-component urethane
binder must be used. It is also possible to adjust the hardening speed
by using a known hardening accelerating agent such as an amine-based
or a metallic-based hardening accelerating agent. It is desirable
that the binder is included in an amount of 15 to 30 % by volume of the
total amount of the pavement material from the viewpoint of the
bonding strength of the aggregates.
By adding 0.1 to 10 % by weight of an organic silane into the
urethane binder, the bonding strength between the urethane binder
and the aggregates can be increased and improvements in the strength
and the durability of the pavement material can be achieved.
Examples of the organic silane include an epoxy-based or a
mercapto-based organic silane.
Further, if the pavement material must be colored, coloring
can be effected by mixing a coloring agent with the urethane binder. In
this case, it is preferable that an amount of coloring agent which is 1
to 10 % by weight of the urethane binder is used. Examples of the
coloring agent include carbon-based coloring agents when a black
color is desired and titanium-based coloring agents when a white color
is desired. The pavement material can also be colored by using colored
rubber chips, for example, colored rubber chips of EPDM, for the
elastic aggregate, or by using a synthetic aggregate which is formed
from colored ceramics or the like.
The method of applying (laying) the pavement material is as
follows. The hard aggregate and the elastic aggregate are mixed
together and the binder is added to the mixture to prepare the
pavement material. The urethane binder may be prepared by mixing
in advance an isocyanate group terminated prepolymer, a polyol, and
optionally a coloring agent, an organic silane, a hardening
accelerating agent or the like. Alternatively, the urethane binder may
be prepared such that the isocyanate group terminated prepolymer
and the polyol are mixed together, and then the coloring agent, the
organic silane, the hardening accelerating agent, or the like is mixed
with the mixture thereafter. Any method may be used for mixing the
aggregates and adding the binder as long as the binder is uniformly
adhered to the aggregates. The temperature at the time of mixing the
aggregates and the binder may be an ordinary temperature. When the
temperature is low, hardening is slow, and when the temperature is
high, temperature adjustment may be required because hardening is
accelerated.
The pavement material was laid in accordance with the
applying process shown in the following example. An outline of the
processes of work involved in the method of application of a reduced
noise elastic pavement in accordance with the present invention,
which processes are shown in Fig. 1, is given below.
Details of the mixture of the present invention are shown in
Table 1. Measured skid resistance (BPN) and low noise effect (dB) are
also shown in Table 1.
The noise reduction effect is measured in the following
manner. Noise (dB) in a vicinity of a tire of a passenger vehicle
running on a dense grain pavement was measured, and noise (dB) in a
vicinity of a tire of a passenger vehicle running on the pavement
material in accordance with the present invention was measured. The
difference was calculated and is defined as the noise reduction effect.
The larger the difference, the superior the noise reduction effect.
Figs. 2 through 5 show structural examples of the pavement
laying cases 1 to 4 of Table 1.
In accordance with the pavement material of the present
invention, superior elasticity, as well as the air permeability and
sound absorption due to the optimized voids, results in a significant
noise reducing effect over a porous pavement.
