In this study, the use of glass waste as aggregate in asphalt mixtures was investigated. Maximum glass aggregate size options of 0.075, 2.00, 4.75 and 9.5 mm. were selected. Conventional bitumen, nanoclay-modified bitumen and hydrated lime-modified bitumen were used. Dense graded asphalt mixtures were designed according to the Marshall method. Mixtures were evaluated for low-temperature cracking, resistance to water damage, fatigue, and permanent deformation behavior with repeated creep, indirect tensile strength, indirect tensile fatigue, modified Lottman and Hamburg wheel tracking tests. Increasing glass aggregate size reduced the water damage resistance of asphalt mixtures because of the smooth surface of the glass particles and nanoclay and hydrated lime modification improved the mechanical properties of the asphalt mixtures. Using 2.00 mm sized maximum glass aggregate showed relatively less water damage and deformation properties due to higher internal friction which is due to the greater angularity of the glass particles. In addition, there was a significant correlation between repeated creep test, modified Lottman methods and Hamburg Wheel tracking test from the viewpoint of deformation and water damage assessments.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nano-sized hydrated lime on the moisture susceptibility of the hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures in terms of three methodologies to introduce into the mixtures. The experimental design for this study included the utilizations of one binder source (PG 64-22), three aggregate sources and three different methods introducing the lime. A total of 12 types of HMA mixtures and 72 specimens were fabricated and tested in this study. The performed properties include indirect tensile strength (ITS), tensile strength ratio (TSR), flow, and toughness. The results indicated that the nano-sized lime exhibits better moisture resistance. Introducing process of the nano-sized lime will produce difference in moisture susceptibility.

One of the main advantages of warm mix asphalt (WMA) used as an alternative to conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA), is to reduce mixing and compaction temperatures. This laboratory study was conducted with the aim of determining physical properties of WMA mixes produced using foam bitumen technology (WMA–Foam), while applying different mixing and compaction temperatures. The effect of laboratory compaction method on mix properties was also investigated. WMA–Foam mixes were produced, adding a soft bitumen to coarse aggregate particles at the first stage, then a hard bitumen, transformed into foam bitumen using a laboratory foam making device, was directly added to aggregates at the next stage. Compaction was performed separately applying both Marshall and gyratory compactors (GC) at different temperatures. Marshall Stability and void contents of the samples were determined as two major parameters for characterizing WMA–Foam mixes. Moisture susceptibility and rutting potential of WMA–Foam samples were evaluated using indirect tensile strength (ITS) and wheel tracking tests. In addition, separate samples were prepared, in which hydrated lime powder was added as an anti-stripping agent to improve adhesion properties of the mixes. Comparing the results of WMA–Foam mixes with control HMA of the same content, resulted in mixes with similar properties of the control HMA, with appreciably lower production and compaction temperatures of the former. It was also resulted that mixes compacted with gyratory compactor were less sensitive to temperature variations than those compacted with Marshall Hammer. Santrauka Pagrindinis šiltai maišyto asfalto mišinių privalumas, lyginant su įprastiniais karštai maišyto asfalto mišiniais, yra galimybė sumažinti asfalto mišinio maišymo ir tankinimo temperatūras. Šio laboratorinio tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti šiltai maišyto asfalto mišinių, gaminamų pagal putoto bitumo technologiją (WMA-Foam), fizines savybes taikant skirtingas maišymo ir tankinimo temperatūras. Taip pat buvo tirtas skirtingų laboratorinių tankinimo metodų poreikis asfalto mišinio savybėms. WMA-Foam technologijos mišiniai gaminti pirmame etape į stambiąsias mineralines medžiagas dedant minkštąjį bitumą, o kitame etape – kietajį bitumą specialiu laboratoriniu putojimo įrenginiu pavertus putotu bitumu dedant į pirmame etape paruoštas mineralines medžiagas. Tankinta atskirai Maršalo plūktuvu ir giratoriaus presu skirtingose mišinio temperatūrose. Maršalo bandinių pastovumas ir oro tuštumų skaičius buvo nustatyti kaip du pagrindiniai WMA-Foamtechnologijos mišinius charakterizuojantys parametrai. WMA-Foam technologijos bandinių jautrumas vandeniui ir atsparumas provėžų susidarymui buvo vertinti pagal netiesioginio tempimo jėgos ir rato riedėjimo vėžės nustatymo bandymus. Keletas bandinių papildomai buvo pagaminti su gesintosiomis kalkėmis, t. y. asfalto mišinio sukibimą gerinančiu priedu. Lyginant WMA-Foam technologijos ir karštai maišyto asfalto mišinių bandymų rezultatus nustatyta, kad identiškos sudėties WMA-Foam technologijos mišinių savybės yra panašios į karštai maišyto asfalto mišinių savybes, tačiau jos pasiekiamos pastebimai žemesnėse maišymo ir tankinimo temperatūrose. Taip pat nustatyta, kad asfalto mišinio bandiniai, pagaminti giratoriaus presu, buvo ne tokie jautrūs gamybos temperatūros kitimui, lyginant su bandiniais, pagamintais Maršalo plūktuvu.

The main distresses of asphalt pavements in seasonally frozen regions are due to the effects of water action, freeze-thaw cycles, and so on. Basalt fiber, as an eco-friendly mineral fiber with high mechanical performance, has been adopted to reinforce asphalt mixture in order to improve its mechanical properties. This study investigated the freeze-thaw damage characteristics of asphalt mixtures reinforced with eco-friendly basalt fiber by volume and mechanical properties—air voids, splitting tensile strength, and indirect tensile stiffness modulus tests. Test results indicated that asphalt mixtures reinforced with eco-friendly basalt fiber had better mechanical properties (i.e., splitting tensile strength and indirect tensile stiffness modulus) before and after freeze-thaw cycles. Furthermore, this study developed logistic damage models of asphalt mixtures in terms of the damage characteristics, and found that adding basalt fiber could significantly reduce the damage degree by about 25%, and slow down the damage grow rate by about 45% compared with control group without basalt fiber. Moreover, multi-variable grey models (GM) (1,N) were established for modelling the damage characteristics of asphalt mixtures under the effect of freeze-thaw cycles. GM (1,3) was proven as an effective prediction model to perform better in prediction accuracy compared to GM (1,2).

Moisture damage in hot mix asphalt pavements is a periodic but persistent problem nowadays, even though laboratory testing is performed to identify different moisture-susceptible mixtures. In this study, a Hamburg Wheel Tracking device (HWTD) was used for rutting tests which were conducted on control and a high percentage of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), i.e., 30%, 50% and 100% of virgin mixtures, under air dry and water-immersed conditions. Similarly, the extracted bitumen from RAP was tested for binder physical properties. Results showed that the asphalt mixtures containing RAP have less rut depth as compared to the control mix both in air dry and immersion conditions and hence showed better anti-rutting properties and moisture stability. Stripping performance of control and RAP containing mixtures was also checked, concluding that the RAP mixture was greatly dependent on the interaction between the binder (virgin plus aged) and aggregates.

The objectives of this paper are to characterize the mechanical properties of porous asphalt pavement mixtures containing RAP and a WMA additive using Super pave gyratory compactor and dynamic modulus testing. Four types of asphalt mixtures were evaluated in this study. This study evaluated compaction energy index, permeability, indirect tensile strength, and dynamic modulus for all types of porous asphalt mixtures. All of the asphalt mixtures meet the typical minimum coefficient of permeability in this study. In addition, only a slight decrease in was found when WMA additive was added to the porous asphalt mixture containing RAP. For indirect tensile strength testing, WMA containing RAP was found to have the highest tensile strength among all of the mixtures tested.

Hot mix asphalt needs to be developed to resist particular permanent deformations like rutting and thermal cracking due to increased traffic volumes and vehicle loads. Additives such as carbon black, graphite, carbon fibers are used in the mixture or the binder for improving the mechanical features of asphalt. In this article, the effects of graphite used for developing the mechanical properties of asphalt have been investigated in mixtures tests. Therefore, Marshall stability, indirect tensile stiffness modulus and indirect tensile fatigue tests were performed to bituminous mixtures modified with three different proportions of graphite by weight of bitumen. Stone mastic asphalt mixtures which were manufactured with pure and modified bitumen were aged in different time intervals in the oven. In conclusion, it has defined that Marshall stability values have declined. It has been determined that there is no significant difference in the time-dependent deformation behavior of the original and aged samples in pure and different graphite content although the stiffness modulus and load repeat number of the samples increased with the rise of the aging time. These results shown that graphite generally used for improving the thermal properties in literature were also determined to contribute to mechanical properties of mixtures.

Antistripping additives and polymer modifications are two common modifiers used to improve the fundamental properties of asphalt binders as those properties relate to the performance of asphalt mixtures. Adhesion and cohesion are two important related properties of asphalt binders that can affect asphalt mixture performance before and after water conditioning. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of antistripping additives and polymers on the adhesion and cohesion of binders and to relate these effects to the performance of mixtures as measured in the laboratory before and after water conditioning. The performance tests of asphalt mixtures included indirect tensile strength, uniaxial compression permanent deformation, and Hamburg wheel tracking. Asphalt mixtures were produced with different modified binders and with two aggregate types. The binders were modified with antistripping additives and polymers and by chemical treatment and oxidization methods. Granite and limestone were selected as two types of aggregate sources. The results indicate that the performance of asphalt mixtures is highly dependent on modification techniques and water conditioning. The overall performance of polymer-modified mixtures is more desirable than those of unmodified mixtures and of mixtures modified with antistripping additives. Polymers are found to improve rutting performance, adhesion, and cohesion of an asphalt binder. In contrast, the antistripping additive can improve only the adhesion without changing other properties. The results of this study also illustrate that the adhesion and cohesion of an asphalt binder are good indicators of the performance of asphalt mixtures in the laboratory when they are conditioned with water.

The objectives of this paper are studying the viscosity characteristics of asphalt binders containing different additives, ethylene vinyl acetate, polypropylene, and hydrated lime, and the influence of varying mixing and compaction temperatures on the engineering properties of the corresponding mixtures. The engineering properties of the asphalt mixtures were investigated using the indirect tensile strength, moisture damage evaluation, and volumetric properties (in terms of the air void content). Based on the viscosity results, the non-Newtonian behavior of the asphalt binders prevails with the increase in the concentration of polymers and hydrated lime, thus the setting of the production temperatures using the equiviscous principle would be expected to be rather inaccurate. The variation in the production temperatures affected the engineering properties of the asphalt mixtures. It is recommended that a revision of the production temperatures from different methods be undertaken to satisfy the desired engineering properties for different conditions.
