Oxidation is one of the main factors which affects the durability of asphalt pavement. Particularly, this phenomenon is even faster and more severe in places with cold climates of La Libertad due to the strong thermal gradient that bitumen will experience on the first day of its placement. This study aims to prove that the addition of residues from pruning blueberry bushes (RPA) powder reduces the oxidative damage of bitumen at low temperature. For this purpose, a base bitumen PG 85/100 was modified with 2%, 6% and 10% RPA by mass, rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) was performed to simulate short term aging. Conventional laboratory tests (penetration, softening point, ductility and rotational viscosity) and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) test were applied to evaluate the physical and rheological properties of bitumen before and after the oxidation process. In addition, empirical aging indexes were calculated with penetration, softening point and viscosity test results. The results indicated that the addition of RPA powder increased the stiffness of bitumen while decreased the temperature susceptibility. Furthermore, with the addition of RPA the elastic properties of bitumen are increased. Finally, it was determined that 6% RPA is the optimum content that improves bitumen aging resistance at low temperature (10°C-15°C) and its application in pavement industry will contribute to reduce environmental pollution caused by RPA burning.
