Özet:

 Bitumen, one of the oldest known engineering materials, has been extensively utilized for millennia as both a waterproofing agent and a binder in pavement construction. To improve its engineering properties, a wide range of materials have been explored for bitumen modification. In recent years, a notable increase in the use of boron compounds for this purpose has been reported in the literature. Most existing studies focus on the laboratory synthesis of boron-based additives, which are then incorporated into bitumen matrices. In the present study, the effect of boric acida by-product of boronon the rheological and chemical properties of bitumen was investigated. Modified bitumen samples were produced using varying concentrations of boric acid 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 by weight. Rheological properties were assessed using a Dynamic Shear Rheometer DSR, while chemical characterization was performed through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy FT-IR. DSR results demonstrated that boric acid enhanced the viscoelastic performance of bitumen. Additionally, FT-IR analysis revealed notable changes in the chemical structure of the modified samples, indicating potential interactions between boric acid and the bitumen matrix.
