Performancebased design of asphalt mixtures and review of

In the last several years reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) have been widely used in asphalt mixes in Texas. The use of RAP/RAS can significantly reduce the initial cost of asphalt mixtures, conserve energy, and protect our environment.

The properties of the recycled mixture are believed to be mainly influenced by the aged reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) binder properties and the amount of RAP in the mixture. Kiggundu et al w showed that mixtures prepared from the recycled binder blends generally age at a slower rate than mixtures.

Analysis and Feasibility of Asphalt Pavement Performance-Based Testing

Recommended mix design procedures and the best RAP management strategies are described. A cradle- to-gate analysis of environmental effects indicated 18 kg or 35% CO2eq savings per t of produced 100% RAP asphalt mixture compared to mix, while cost analysis showed at least 50% savings in material related expenses.

Jul 21,  · To mitigate for these effects, some developed countries have developed new approaches such as Superpave and balanced mix design (BMD) methods that are performance-based, for the design of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) with the primary objective of improving the performance of asphalt pavements.

of hot mix asphalt (HMA) layers. Testing included: determining an optimal range for the bond strength of a tacked hot mix asphalt interface, and implementing the findings. The resear ch method used a Florida Bond Test fixture along with a Marshall asphalt mixture testing load frame to evaluate tack bond shear strength and deformation.
