The aim of the present study is to assess the incorporation of kaolin processing waste as partial substitute for aggregates in asphalt concrete. Mixtures elaborated from the conventional mixture with the gradual incorporation of kaolin processing waste (5 to 40%) were evaluated by volumetric composition, mechanical behavior and susceptibility to moisture tests, obeying current Brazilian norms, according with international standards. The results show that the coarse kaolin waste displays grains with varying diameters, and, as such, can substitute part of the conventional aggregates and filler used in an asphalt mixture. Moreover, its mineralogical composition showed the same minerals in the composition of conventional aggregates used in paving. The assessment of the mechanical behavior of these mixtures indicate that the increased waste levels in the mixtures studied caused an increase in stability and a reduction in tensile strength. When susceptibility to moisture was considered, the results indicate that up to 25% of residue can be used as a substitute for conventional aggregates.

Laboratory experience in Iraq with cold asphalt concrete mixtures is very limited. The design and use of cold mixed asphalt concrete had no technical requirements. In this study, two asphalt concrete mixtures used for the base course were prepared in the laboratory using conventional cold-mixing techniques to test cold asphalt mixture (CAM) against aging and moisture susceptibility. Cold asphalt mixtures specimens have been prepared in the lab with cutback and emulsion binders, different fillers, and curing times. Based on the Marshal test result, the cutback proportion was selected with the filler, also based on the Marshal test emulsion. The first mixture was medium setting cationic emulsion (MSCE) as a binder, hydrated lime, and ordinary portland cement as a filler (7.95% MSCE + 2%HL + 3% OPC). The second mixture used was medium curing cutback (MC-250) as a binder and ordinary portland cement as a filler (5.18% MC 250 + 5% OPC). The indirect tensile strength (ITS) of the samples was measured at 25 ° C. It was found that the cold mix with the MSCE binder had a high ITS value relative to the cold mix with the cutback asphalt binder (MC-250). The dry mixture of MSCE  ITS was approximately 3.77 times the dry mixture of MC-250. The MSCE wet mix was about 4.2 times the wet MC-250 mix. Tensile strength ratio result (TSR %) for the MSCE binder mix and the cutback MC-250 binder mix showed that the MSCE mix has a reasonable moisture resistance (77% ) compared to the MC-250 mix (69.2 %). The aging test and aging ratio result showed that asphalt binder oxidation has a significant effect on age-related pavement degradation as it changes the time-temperature relationship depending on the viscoelastic properties of the asphalt binder. The result clearly showed that the MSCE binder mix had a high resistance to aging (440 Kpa) compared to the cutback (MC-250) binder mix (110 Kpa). In contrast, the MSCE aging ratio (90 %) was higher than the MC-250 ratio (85 %).

In this paper, a new Indirect tensile tester (IDT) which can be cooperated with Industrial Computered Tomography (IDT) is developed. The new tester uses a set of sliders to transfer the vertical stress to hoop stress which applied to a hollow cylindrical sample. The micro-crack will be appeared and propagated in the weakest direction of hollow cylindrical sample with the increase of vertical stress and tensile strength can calculated with the maximum vertical stress. Due to the existence of central slider, the stress state of hollow cylindrical sample will be kept even after unloading and the mixture sample would not have recovery when it is moved for scanning with ICT. The test results show that the combination of the developed ICT with IDT will help obtain more useful information on understanding the nature of asphalt concrete with different tensile damage stages.

Significant quantities of coconut shell (CS), a by-product of agriculture, can be used as an artificial source of coarse aggregates. In this study, four CSs were used as coarse aggregates replacement in asphalt concrete with 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% weight volumes. The particle sizes of the CSs used as main coarse aggregates range from 5 mm to 20 mm. The Marshall Stability test shows that the optimum bitumen content for asphalt mixtures is 5.1%. The engineering properties investigated include the volumetric, dynamic creep, indirect tensile strength, and resilient modulus. Test results show that stability decreases with increasing CS content because of high water absorption. Considering that CSs absorb bitumen, a further detailed investigation is needed to assess the performance of modified bitumen on mixture. Furthermore, the use of CSs as coarse aggregates in asphalt concrete help increase the resilient modulus, stiffness, and indirect tensile strength up to 30%. Generally, a 10% replacement of coarse aggregates with CSs is the optimal limit.

Materials Used

Sustainability is very important in this world at this time. One of the best materials used for sustainability in asphalt concrete pavements is the warm mix asphalt (WMA) as well as the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). WMA technology has the ability to reduce production temperature to reduce the fuel usage and emissions. RAP is the old concrete asphalt mixture that is out of service and using it again leads to preservation of the virgin material. This search studied the viability of using WMA with different percentages of RAP (10%, 30%, and 50%) and compared them with control hot mix asphalt (HMA) and WMA. The Marshall properties, Tensile strength ratio (TSR), rut depth and fatigue life were determined in this work. The results showed that the tensile strength ratio (TSR) for HMA was better than that for WMA by 6%, rut depth for HMA was (4.37 mm) lower than that for WMA was (6.5mm), better fatigue life was obtained for WMA was (700 cycle) as compared to HMA was (500 cycle). In case of WMA with RAP (WMA-RAP), when the percentage of RAP increased with WMA, the moisture damage resistance improved by 2.5%, 13.3% and 15.4% for G1, G3 and G5 respectively, also the rutting resistance improved by 34.6%, 48% and 62.3% for G1, G3 and G5 respectively, but deteriorated of fatigue life by 45.8%, 74% and 88.5% for G1, G3 and G5 respectively.

Cracking Performance

Thin asphalt concrete overlays are a maintenance technique that mainly restore the functional properties of pavements. One of the main issues in thin overlays is reflective cracking that can cause early deterioration and reduce their service life. For this reason, the purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of material selection on cracking performance of asphalt concrete mixtures for thin overlays. In particular, this paper evaluates the role of aggregate skeleton gradation. The study of the effect of aggregate gradation was divided into two stages: (1) fine fraction content and (2) maximum nominal aggregate size. Based on this, up to seven asphalt mixture gradations were designed and evaluated through the Fénix test at different test temperatures. The results showed a significant correlation between the fine fraction content, and maximum nominal aggregate size, and the cracking performance of the asphalt concrete mixtures. Mixtures manufactured with a low content of fine aggregates, as well as small nominal maximum size, experienced a further improvement of their toughness. These results reflected the importance of considering not only the effect of asphalt binder and environmental conditions but also aggregate gradation in the design of asphalt concrete mixtures in order to achieve a desirable cracking performance.

The construction of sponge city is a major green innovation to implement the concept of sustainable development. In this study, the road performance of permeable asphalt concrete (PAC), which displays pronounced water permeability and noise reduction that are favorable for sponge cities, has been improved with a two-fold modification using styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) and crumb rubber (CR). Four percent SBS and three different ratios (10%, 15%, and 20%) of CR have been used to modify the virgin asphalt binder. The Marshall design has been followed to produce PAC samples. To evaluate the asphalt binder performance, multiple-stress creep-recovery (MSCR) test, linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test, and engineering property test programs including softening point test, penetration test, and rotational viscosity test have been conducted. Freeze–thaw splitting test, Hamburg wheel-tracking test, resilient modulus test, and permeability coefficient test have been performed to evaluate the asphalt mixture performance. The test results show that the addition of SBS and CR reduces the permeability coefficient, but significantly improves the high temperature performance, fatigue performance, and rutting resistance as well as the resilient modulus. However, the optimum rubber content should not exceed 15%. Meanwhile, after adding CR and SBS modifier, the indirect tensile strength (ITS) and tensile strength ratio (TSR) increase. It indicates that the moisture stability and crack resistance have been improved by the composite modification effect.

This research characterizes the performance of various plant-produced asphalt concrete mixtures by dynamic modulus|E∗|test using asphalt mixture performance tester (AMPT). Marshall designed specimens of seven different mixtures were prepared using the Superpave gyratory compactor and subjected to sinusoidal compressive loading at various temperatures (4.4 to 54.4°C) and loading frequencies (0.1 to 25 Hz). A catalog of default dynamic modulus values for typical asphalt concrete mixtures of Pakistan was established by developing stress-dependent master curves separately, for wearing and base course mixtures. The sensitivity of temperature and loading frequency on determination of dynamic modulus value was observed by typical isothermal and isochronal curves, respectively. Also, the effects of various variables on dynamic modulus were investigated using statistical technique of two-level factorial design of experiment. Furthermore, two dynamic modulus prediction models, namely, Witczak and Hirsch, were evaluated for their regional applicability. Results indicated that both the Witczak and Hirsch models mostly underpredict the value of dynamic modulus for the selected conditions/mixtures. The findings of this study are envisaged to facilitate the implementation of relatively new performance based mechanistic-empirical structural design and analysis approach.

The effect of using reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) to asphalt concrete mixtures besides their utilization is to reduce the amount of the new bituminous binder and aggregate added to hot mix asphalt. This publication presents studies on asphalt mixtures with an increased up to 40% amount of RAP additive with the simultaneous use of 2 types of added bitumen, i.e. 35/50 and PMB 25/55-60. The aim of the paper is the evaluation of the basic mixture properties in a wide range of operating temperatures, as a part of the AC testing at high temperatures, the resistance to rutting at 60° C and indirect tensile strength at 40° C. The assessment of properties at intermediate operating temperatures is based on indirect tensile tests, including: elastic stiffness modulus at 5° C, 15° C and 30° C and static strength at 25° C. The low temperature properties have been tested in water and frost resistance tests by indirect tensile strength ratio. The results of the study were subjected to the analysis of the statistical significance of differences, which showed an improvement in the resistance of AC with the addition of RAP to the formation of permanent deformations and an increase in the stiffness modulus as well as indirect tensile strength. There was no adverse effect of the RAP additive on asphalt mixtures resistance to water and frost action.
