Test Result

Effect of a chloride deicing additive (Cl-DIA) on the performance of asphalt mixture was investigated by evaluating the moisture, cracking and rutting resistance. Freeze-thaw splitting test result showed that asphalt mixture containing Cl-DIA weakened moisture resistance to some extent but it was still applicable for asphalt pavement. Wheel-tracking test indicated that Cl-DIA evidently improved the rutting resistance of the asphalt mixture and the weight concentration of Cl-DIA in asphalt mixture had to exceed 3%. Beam bending test implied that Cl-DIA did not help for the cracking of the asphalt mixture.

Wheel Tracking

The rutting performance of asphalt pavement structure relies on the high temperature properties of asphalt mixture as well as the pavement structure and thickness. In order to investigate the influence of the structure and thickness, a full-depth wheel tracking test is developed in this research by improving the conventional wheel tracking test apparatus. The newly proposed test method is capable of varying its load speed and load size, controlling its specimen temperature gradient, and simulating the support conditions of actual asphalt pavement. The full-depth wheel tracking test based rutting performance evaluation of different asphalt pavement structures indicates that it is not reasonable to explain the rutting performance of asphalt pavement structure from the point of view of single-layer asphalt mixture rutting performance. The developed full-depth wheel tracking test can be used to distinguish rutting performance of different asphalt pavement structures, and two of five typical asphalt pavement structures commonly used in Shanxi Province were suggested for use in practical engineering.

Modification of the asphalt binder is one approach taken to improve Asphalt pavement performance. Rutting is one of the most important factors that could reduce the life of asphalt pavements.Nowadays, the application of nanotechnologyto achieve materials that are more resistant is expanding in asphalt pavement thatNano-TiO2is among the most exciting and promising classes of materials discovered recently. The purpose of this study is laboratory research on the effect of Nano-TiO2in improving Bitumen property and rutting resistance in Asphalt pavement under dynamic loading. For this purpose, the wheel-tracking test was carried outon ordinary and Nano-TiO2modified hot mix asphalt samples.The results illustrate that using Nano-TiO2in asphaltbinder samples cause to an improvement in ruttingdepth in comparison with theordinarymixtures.

AbstractDespite significant economic and environmental benefits, performance of warm mix asphalt (WMA) containing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) remains a matter of concern. Among the current WMA technologies, the plant foaming technique (called “foamed WMA” in this study) has gained the most attention, since it eliminates the need for chemical additives. In the present study, the laboratory performance, namely rutting and moisture-induced damage potential of foamed WMA containing RAP were evaluated and compared with those of similar hot mix asphalt (HMA) containing identical amount of RAP. Dynamic modulus, Hamburg wheel tracking (HWT) and flow number tests were performed to assess the rutting resistance of the mixes. Also, stripping inflection point from HWT tests and tensile strength ratio after AASHTO T 283 and moisture induced sensitivity test (MIST) conditioning were used to evaluate the moisture-induced damage of asphalt mixes. It was found that MIST conditioning effectively simulates the moisture-induced damage and can capture the propensity of asphalt mixes to moisture damage more distinctly compared to AASHTO T 283 method due to application of cyclic loadings. The foamed WMA was found to exhibit higher rutting and moisture-induced damage potential due to lower mixing and compaction temperatures compared to HMA. However, the increase in RAP content was found to reduce rutting and moisture-induced damage potential for WMA. Therefore, the lower stiffness of foamed WMA may be compensated with the addition of stiffer binder from RAP.

The asphalt surface layer is the most exposed to weather and traffic conditions on roads, especially those subjected to winter maintenance. Therefore, a deep knowledge of the mechanisms which can damage this layer is necessary to improve its design, construction and long-term use. With this purpose, two types of asphalt mixtures used on roads from NW Spain were subjected to durability tests (freezing-thaw and thermal-stress) with a saturated NaCl solution. After the durability tests, a wheel tracking test was performed on the samples, and the resultant material was analyzed by optical polarized light and fluorescence microscopy. This analysis showed that the binder-aggregate low adhesion was the main responsible of the asphalt mixture damage. This damage was concentrated in the aggregates because the binder acted as an impermeable wall. Consequently, the NaCl solution penetrated and degraded the aggregates quickly and strongly.
