The Effect Of Loose Mix Aging On The Performance Properties Of Warm Asphalts, Thomas Martin Clements
The Effect Of Loose Mix Aging On The Performance Properties Of Warm Asphalts, Thomas Martin Clements
University of Kentucky Master's Theses
Recent improvements in warm mix asphalt technologies have spurred an aggressive adoption of these new practices within the asphalt paving industry. Concerns have arisen among federal and state agencies about the effects of this line of products on the performance of asphalt pavements. An investigation of the effects of lowering mixing, aging and compactions temperatures while varying the loose mix aging time was performed. Hamburg Wheel Tracking, Flow Number, Dynamic Modulus and Fracture Energy testing were used to evaluate mechanistic properties of the materials.
