The asphalt emulsion mixture is a mixture that can be used in areas that do not have Asphalt Mixing Plant (AMP). Indonesia has natural asphalt found in Buton Island, Southeast Sulawesi, known as Buton asphalt. Modification of asphalt emulsion with Buton Granular Asphalt (BGA) is expected to be used in regions do not have AMP and utilize local materials so it can reduce the import of oil asphalt. Modification of asphalt emulsion and BGA is needed for research to determine the performance of the mixture so that this mixture is suitable for use. The performance degradation of the asphalt mixture on flexible pavement is due to aging on the asphalt. The aging performance of asphalt mixture can be known by testing Marshall and ITS. The purpose of the test was to determine the stiffness due to the aging process. Based on the Marshall and ITS results that asphalt emulsions mixture containing 10% of Buton granular asphalt can improve mixed performance. The performance of the asphalt emulsion mixture containing Buton granular asphalt has a service life of up to 10 years.

Chip seal bleeding is influenced by many factors, including design inputs, material properties, and project-specific conditions. It reduces the surface texture of the pavement and thus compromises the safety of the traveling public. Even though factors that bring about premature bleeding are known, currently, no laboratory test methods for evaluating bleeding in chip seals have been specified. The objective of this paper is to present the results of an investigation of the influence factors of asphalt emulsion residue properties measured by the ASTM D7405 multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR) test, as well as other factors related to chip seal bleeding resistance as measured by the modified loaded wheel test (MLWT). In this study, the MSCR test was used as a tool for evaluating the performance of asphalt emulsions because it has been identified as a potential test related to bleeding in the field. In addition, MLWT was selected as a tool for evaluating chip seal bleeding performance in the laboratory. The results of the MLWT showed that the emulsion application rate (EAR), aggregate gradation, and emulsion properties were significant factors affecting bleeding. The MSCR test was found to be a promising tool for the performance evaluation of asphalt emulsion residue, as the test was able to differentiate between emulsion chemistries and modifications in terms of sensitivity to both temperature and stress. In relation to chip seal bleeding resistance, only the creep compliance (Jnr) obtained from the MSCR test results was identified as a significant property affecting potential for bleeding.

Cracking Mechanism

Semi-flexible pavement (SFP) is widely used in recent years because of its good rutting resistance, but it is easy to crack under traffic loads. A large number of studies are aimed at improving its crack resistance. However, the understanding of its fatigue resistance and fatigue-cracking mechanism is limited. Therefore, the semi-circular bending (SCB) fatigue test is used to evaluate the fatigue resistance of the SFP mixture. SCB fatigue tests under different temperature values and stress ratio were used to characterize the fatigue life of the SFP mixture, and its laboratory fatigue prediction model was established. The distribution of various phases of the SFP mixture in the fracture surface was analyzed by digital image processing technology, and its fatigue cracking mechanism was analyzed. The results show that the SFP mixture has better fatigue resistance under low temperature and low stress ratio, while its fatigue resistance under other environmental and load conditions is worse than that of asphalt mixture. The main reason for the poor fatigue resistance of the SFP mixture is the poor deformation capacity and low strength of grouting materials. Furthermore, the performance difference between grouting material and the asphalt binder is large, which leads to the difference of fatigue cracking mechanism of the SFP mixture under different conditions. Under the fatigue load, the weak position of the SFP mixture at a low temperature is asphalt binder and its interface with other materials, while at medium and high temperatures, the weak position of the SFP mixture is inside the grouting material. The research provides a basis for the calculation of the service life of the SFP structure, provides a reference for the improvement direction of the SFP mixture composition and internal structure.

Moisture increase in pavement subsurface layers has a significant influence on granular material properties that affect the expected pavement performance. In situ moisture variations over time in an unbound base layer depend on water infiltration after precipitation and pavement surface conditions. Consequently, base resilient modulus (MR) is reduced, which leads to premature failure and reduced service life. This paper presents long-term pavement performance (LTPP) data analyses for quantifying the effect of moisture infiltration through surface cracking on flexible pavement performance. Subsurface moisture data obtained through the seasonal monitoring program (SMP) time domain reflectometry (TDR) are an excellent source for quantifying the moisture-related damage in flexible pavement located in different climates. An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed based on the SMP data for flexible pavement sections. The results show that higher levels of cracking will lead to an increase in moisture levels within the base layer, which leads to a significant decrease in the base MR. For flexible pavement, the maximum reduction in base MR ranged from 18% to 41% and from 153% to 175% for the pavement sections located in dry and wet regions, respectively. Consequently, the performance of pavement sections located in wet climates is adversely affected. The findings imply that an adequate and timely preservation treatment for cracking sealing (e.g., surface seals) can enhance the pavement’s service life, especially in wet climates. The results suggest that cracks should be sealed when the extent of fatigue cracking is within 6% and 11% for the flexible pavement sections located in wet and dry climates, respectively.

Cold in-place recycling (CIR) mills existing bound pavement with a stabilizing agent to remove all surface distresses and some structural distresses. This research investigated the influence of extending the time after crushing, aggregate type, and asphalt emulsion type on four CIR compaction metrics and on the raveling test. Aggregate was crushed in the lab to mimic the milling process of CIR and was mixed with laboratory produced asphalt emulsion at various times after crushing. Three types of aggregate were used, including one field reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), a limestone-based laboratory-produced RAP, and a syenite-based laboratory-produced RAP. Two types of cationic medium set (CMS) asphalt emulsions were also used: a proprietary and a commodity asphalt emulsion. One of the compaction metrics, the number of gyrations to 76% Density ( N76), was found to have the most promise for capturing the charge on the RAP, as the limestone aggregate and proprietary asphalt emulsion saw the highest resistance to compaction. These two materials were the most reactive so it was reasonable that they caused the fastest break of the asphalt emulsion. The raveling test did not produce similarly conclusive results. Whereas some trends from the raveling test showed the ability to capture charge on the RAP, perhaps the four-hour cure before the raveling test may have masked any influence of time after crushing and asphalt emulsion type.

An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the rheological and molecular characterization of rubberized asphalt emulsion. One rubberized asphalt emulsion and an asphalt rubber (CRS-2TR and AC20-TR) and two conventional emulsions (CRS-2 and CRS-2P) were evaluated. The emulsions were characterized by conducting rheological and physical testing. The influence of adding crumb rubber on the binder chemical composition was investigated in the laboratory using Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis (FTIR) on the original, Rolling-Thin Film Oven (RTFO) and Pressure Aging Vessel (PAV)-aged binder residues. Results showed that CRS-2TR and AC20-TR had lower carbonyl and sulfoxide indices indicating better resistance to aging compared to conventional asphalt emulsions. Results of High-Pressure Gel Permeation Chromatography (HP-GPC) on the original, RTFO and PAV-aged binder residues showed that CRS-2TR and AC20-TR had similar High-Molecular Weight (HMW) content compared to that of conventional asphalt emulsions indicating similar susceptibility to brittleness with age.
