Investigation of Synergistic Effects of Warm Mix Asphalt and High Fractionated Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement for Safe, Environmentally Sustainable Highway
项目名称: Investigation of Synergistic Effects of Warm Mix Asphalt and High Fractionated Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement for Safe, Environmentally Sustainable Highway
摘要: Increasingly, warm mix asphalt (WMA) pavements are being constructed with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) contents. Currently, 10-20% of RAP materials are commonly used for WMA. In the future, it is anticipated that more highway pavements will be constructed using WMA with high fractionated reclaimed asphalt pavement contents (WMA-HiFrap). However, there is no comprehensive research done to identify the synergistic effects between WMA and high fractionated RAP; therefore, it is critical to determine the relationships between the fundamental characteristics of WMA-HiFrap materials as a function of the increasing FRAP content up to 100%. In the project, WMA with varying HiFrap contents will be evaluated with respect to their fractionation methods, WMA-HiFrap mix design procedures, dynamic moduli and flow number and rutting characteristics. As a result of this research, the synergistic effects between WMA and RAP will be identified to help pavement engineers build a safe and environmentally sustainable U.S. surface transportation system with an improved state of good repair.
