Laboratory Aging of Asphalt-aggregate Mixtures


Book Description

The hardening or stiffening associated with heating asphalt is referred to as aging and occurs in two stages: short-term aging, which occurs during mixture mixing and placement, and long-term aging, which occurs throughout the life of the pavement. A portion of the Strategic Highway Research Program has been dedicated to developing accelerated performance tests for aging asphalt mixtures. Two test procedures developed at the Oregon State University utilize oven aging at 135 deg C and 85 or 100 deg C to simulate short- and long-term field aging. This report presents the results of the field validation of these two procedures.




Summary Report on Aging of Asphalt-aggregate Systems


Book Description

This is a report on the state of the art of research on the phenomenon of the aging of asphalt-aggregate mixtures. Compared to research on the aging of asphalt cement, there has been little research on the aging of asphalt mixtures. Binder studies are considered as well as mixture sutdies, the relationship between laboratory aging tests and field performance, and the relationship between chemical composition and field performance. Recommendations are made for aging procedures which show promise for laboratory investigation. Test methods to evaluate aging are also considered. It is noted that extended heating procedures show the most promise for short-term aging and pressure oxidation and/or extended heating the most promise for long-term aging.







Selection of Laboratory Aging Procedures for Asphalt-aggregate Mixtures


Book Description

Two major effects dominate aging of asphalt-aggregate mixtures: 1) loss of volatile components and oxidation in the construction phase (short-term aging) and 2) progressive oxidation of the in-place mixture in the field (long-term aging). Aging results in hardening (stiffening) of a mixture, which alters its performance both positively and negatively. This report presents the results of a preliminary investigation to evaluate aging methods for asphalt-aggregate mixtures. Short-term methods included oven aging and extended mixing, while long-term methods included oven aging and oxygen enrichment. The effects of temperature and aging duration are presented. The effects of aging were determined using the diametral resilient modulus test. Recommendations for short- and long-term aging are provided.

Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements VII


Book Description

Highway engineers are facing the challenge not only to design and construct sustainable and safe pavements properly and economically. This implies a thorough understanding of materials behaviour, their appropriate use in the continuously changing environment, and implementation of constantly improved technologies and methodologies. Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements VII contains more than 100 contributions that were presented at the 7th International Conference ‘Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements’ (7ICONFBMP, Thessaloniki, Greece 12-14 June 2019). The papers cover a wide range of topics: - Bituminous binders - Aggregates, unbound layers and subgrade - Bituminous mixtures (Hot, Warm and Cold) - Pavements (Design, Construction, Maintenance, Sustainability, Energy and environment consideration) - Pavement management - Pavement recycling - Geosynthetics - Pavement assessment, surface characteristics and safety - Posters Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements VII reflects recent advances in highway materials technology and pavement engineering, and will be of interest to academics and professionals interested or involved in these areas.
