Ibhitumene elungisiweyo ibhekisa kumxube we-asphalt kunye nokongezwa kwerabha, i-resin, i-polymer yemolekyuli ephezulu, umgubo werabha ocoliweyo kunye nezinye izilungisi, okanye ukusetyenziswa kwe-oxidation ephakathi kwebhitumene ukuphucula ukusebenza kwebhitumene. I-pavement egayiweyo kunye nayo inokuqina okulungileyo kunye nokuxhathisa i-abrasion, kwaye ayithambisi kumaqondo aphezulu okanye i-crack kumaqondo aphantsi.

Ukusebenza okugqwesileyo kwebhitumene elungisiweyo kuvela kwisilungisi esongezwe kuyo. Esi siguquli asikwazi ukudibanisa kuphela omnye nomnye phantsi kwesenzo sobushushu kunye namandla e-kinetic, kodwa siphinde siphendule nge-bitumen, ngaloo ndlela siphucula kakhulu iimpawu zomatshini ze-bitumen. njengokongeza imivalo yentsimbi kwikhonkrithi. Ukuze kuthintelwe ukuhlukana okunokuthi kwenzeke kwi-bitumen eguqulwe ngokubanzi, inkqubo yokuguqulwa kwebhitumene igqityiwe kwisixhobo esikhethekileyo esiphathwayo. Umxube wolwelo oqulathe ibhitumene kunye nesilungisi sigqithiswa kwilitye lokusila elizele yimijelo. Ngaphantsi kwesenzo se-high-speed ejikelezayo ye-colloid mill, iimolekyuli ze-modifier ziyaqhekeka ukuze zenze isakhiwo esitsha kwaye emva koko zifakwe eludongeni lokusila kwaye ziphinde zibuyele, zixutywe ngokulinganayo kwi-bitumen. Lo mjikelo uphinda, ongenzi kuphela i-abitumen kunye Ukuguqulwa kufezekisa i-homogenization, kwaye i-molecular chain of modifier itsalwa kunye kwaye isasazwe kwinethiwekhi, ephucula amandla omxube kwaye ikhulise ukuxhathisa ukukhathala. Xa ivili lidlula phezu kwebhitumene elungisiweyo, umaleko webhitumene uba noguquko oluncinci oluhambelanayo. Xa ivili lidlula, ngenxa yamandla okudibanisa okuqinileyo kwebhitumene eguquliweyo kwi-aggregate kunye nokubuyisela okuhle kwe-elastic, inxalenye ekhanyiweyo ibuyela ngokukhawuleza kwi-flatness. imeko yokuqala.
Ibhitumene elungisiweyo inokuphucula ngokufanelekileyo umthamo womthwalo wendlela yabahambi ngeenyawo, inciphise ukudinwa kwipavumente okubangelwa kumthwalo ogqithisileyo, kwaye yandise ngamandla ubomi benkonzo yendlela yabahambi ngeenyawo. Ke ngoko, inokusetyenziswa kakhulu ekugawulweni koohola beendlela zomgangatho ophezulu, izikhululo zeenqwelo moya, kunye neebhulorho. Ngo-1996, ibhitumene elungisiweyo yasetyenziselwa ukugalela umgaqo weenqwelo-moya osempuma weSikhululo seenqwelo-moya esiyiNkunzi, kwaye umphezulu wendlela usamile unanamhla. Ukusetyenziswa kwebhitumene elungisiweyo kwiipavumente ezingenekayo nako kutsale ingqwalasela enkulu. Isantya esingenanto se-pavement evuzayo sinokufikelela kwi-20%, kwaye idibaniswe ngaphakathi. Amanzi emvula anokukhutshwa ngokukhawuleza kwipavumente ngeentsuku zemvula ukunqanda ukutyibilika nokuchaphaza xa uqhuba. Ngokukodwa, ukusetyenziswa kwebhitumene elungisiweyo kunokunciphisa ingxolo. Kwiindlela ezinomthamo omkhulu wezithuthi, esi sakhiwo sibonisa iingenelo zalo.
Ngenxa yezinto ezinjengomahluko omkhulu wobushushu kunye nokungcangcazela, iidekhi ezininzi zebhulorho ziya kutshintsha kwaye ziqhekeke kwakamsinya emva kokusetyenziswa. Ukusetyenziswa kwebhitumene elungisiweyo kunokusombulula ngempumelelo le ngxaki. Ibhitumene elungisiweyo sisixhobo esiyimfuneko esifanelekileyo koohola beendlela zomgangatho ophezulu kunye neenqwelomoya zeenqwelomoya. Ngokukhula kobuchwepheshe bebhitumene elungisiweyo, ukusetyenziswa kwebhitumene elungisiweyo kuye kwaba yimvumelwano yamazwe kwihlabathi jikelele.
