Abstract: Water damage on asphalt pavement will accelerate pavement destruction, and decrease the service life of highway. Water stability of recycled mixture especially should be strengthened in design and construction of cold-recycled pavement. Taking for cold recycling technology as research object , We studied water stability and freeze-thaw stability of cold recycled mixture stabilized with emulsified asphalt, cement and emulsified asphalt through tests of Marshall stability and immersion Marshall、split test 、soaking split test and freeze-thaw split etc. The results obtained show that: Water stability of Cold recycled mixture stabilized two different additives all can satisfy requirement, and cold recycled mixture adding little cement has better stability. Cold recycled mixture stabilized emulsified asphalt can be used as highway base or sub-surface of pavement. The experiment research results provide a reliable reference for cold recycled mixture design and its applicability.

Based on the theory of hierarchy analysis, the post-assessment indexes system of cold recycling technology project have been established, and the hierarchy analytic procedure have been used to determine the weighing coefficients for post-assessment indexes of cold recycling engineering of asphalt pavement, and the weighing values for various levels factors were given for the cold recycling base layer project of highway of Shenyang-Yingkou. Considering the road performance and economic benefit, societal and environmental benefit, the analytic hierarchy procedure (AHP) method can effectively avoid making wrong decisions subjectively and made it more scientific and reasonable to determine the weighing values of post-assessment indexes, and it is an effective method to determine the weighing values for post-assessment indexes of the cold recycling technology project.

In this paper, the basic composition and performance evaluation of the recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials were firstly analyzed, and two methods were proposed to evaluate strength characteristics of RAP materials, including a triaxial method for the residual strength and the mortar cementing method for the strength of RAP lump. Then, the cold recycling technology was applied on RAP materials with emulsified asphalt by using vibratory compaction and heavy-duty compaction methods (Proctor compaction method), and the results showed that the maximum dry density obtained by heavy-duty compaction was closer to the actual situation. Finally, the effects of wetting water, emulsified asphalt dosage and curing conditions on the performance of the specimens were investigated. It was found that when the emulsified asphalt was mixed uniformly, whether or not to add the wetting water have almost no effect on the strength of the molded specimens. When the matrix asphalt content of the emulsified asphalt was 30%~60%, the water could be directly added to the cold recycling mixture. The intensity of accelerated curing for two days at 40 °C was approximately equal to that of natural curing for three days, while that of accelerated curing for three days at 40 °C was approximately equal to that of natural curing for seven days, which provided a basis for the short-term laboratory test.

To improve water stability, we mixed asphalt mixture with cement, slag micro powders and lignin fibers, respectively. The Marshall immersion and freeze-thaw splitting tests were carried out. It is shown that cement replacing mineral powders can improve the water stability of asphalt mixture, especially at the content of 1/3 mineral powders, with a Marshall stability of 11.50 kN and a soaking residual stability of 92.46%, increasing by 10.79% and 6.58%, respectively, than those without any cement. According to the results of cement replaced by slag micro powders, its stability increases by 1.38kN, and the soaking residual stability is 90.64%, but the freeze-thaw splitting tensile strength slightly decreases. It is indicated that the water stability of the asphalt mixture can be improved by adding 0.3% lignin fibers, the soaking residual stability increasing from 86.75% to 97.41% and the ratio of freeze-thaw splitting tensile strength rising from 60.94% to 80.29%. It is concluded that the best effect can be reached by adding 0.3% lignin fibers.

The primary objective of this paper was to investigate the effect of replacing steel slag powder (SSP) with limestone filler (LF) with different contents as an inorganic anti-stripping agent on the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures. Two traditional inorganic anti-stripping agents were selected for comparison, namely cement (CE) and slaked lime (SL). Apparent morphology, chemical compositions, and the particle size distribution of the four fillers were firstly studied. LF was replaced by SSP, CE, and SL with different contents, and then mixed with asphalt to prepare asphalt mortars. An 80 °C water immersion test was conducted to investigate the adhesion of asphalt mortar and aggregates, and an image analysis technique was utilized to evaluate the stripping of asphalt from the aggregates. A Marshall stability test and freeze-thaw split test were then conducted to analyze the effect of different fillers on the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures. The results show that SSP contains a large amount of CaO, which indicates that SSP has a certain alkalinity. Compared with LF, SSP has a rougher surface texture and a finer particle size. Image analysis results show that the partially replacement of LF by SSP increases the asphalt coverage rate of aggregates, which means that SSP can improve the adhesion between asphalt mortar and aggregates. However, the excessive addition of SSP will result in a decrease in adhesion. The results of both the Marshall stability test and freeze-thaw split test demonstrate that CE, SL, and SSP can improve the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures compared with the LF group, and that asphalt mixtures containing SSP have better moisture damage resistance than those with CE, but less such resistance than those with SL. With the increase of the amount of SSP replacing LF, the moisture susceptibility of the asphalt mixture decreases gradually. The optimum substitution amount of SSP was 25% of the total volume of fillers in this test.

Nowadays, a large amount of work has been done in the field of emulsified asphalt cold regeneration. Three different proportions of emulsified asphalt cold recycling mixtures were designed by mixing different ratios of new aggregates and RAP, the effect of cement content and RAP content on the mixtures's water stability was studied. The results show that the addition of cement can improve the mixtures's water stability, but there is an optimum content; the mixtures's water stability reduces with the increase of RAP content.

The characteristics of the mixture of recycled asphalt pavements with emulsified asphalt and cement, as the pavement material, was investigated in this research. Kantabro Loss test was used to evaluate initial performance of the recycling mixture and to propose appropriate parameter. Rutting test, split test and low-temperature bending test were carried out to evaluate the long-term performance. The performance of the mixture at low temperature was one of the most important factors to be considered to ensure its application in cold areas. The results showed that the performance of the mixture was effect by old mixes milled. The proposed application conditions of the recycled mixture were also discussed in this paper.
