Book Evaluating the Effect of High RAP Content on Asphalt Mixtures and Binders Fatigue Behavior

Download or read book Evaluating the Effect of High RAP Content on Asphalt Mixtures and Binders Fatigue Behavior written by Umme Amina Mannan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main concerns with the application of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in the asphalt concrete pavement is fatigue cracking due to the stiffness increase with the addition of aged and stiff RAP binder. The purpose of this study is to evaluate fatigue performance of asphalt binder and mixtures with different RAP percentages (0, 15, 25, 35 and 40 %). Among these, 35 and 40 % RAP mixes are considered as high RAP content. This study describes the results of laboratory fatigue response of asphalt mixtures and extracted binders containing RAP to define the effect of RAP on the fatigue performance. To achieve this objective, mixes and binders were tested using the beam fatigue test and the time-sweep test, respectively. Test results were analyzed using two different fatigue approaches, reduction in stiffness and dissipated energy criteria. Results showed that a higher initial stiffness and initial dissipated energy initiate the fatigue failure faster. Since both binders and mixes show an increase in the stiffness and energy consumed per loading cycle with the addition of RAP, resulting mixes containing higher RAP have a very short fatigue life. Also, the fatigue endurance limit decreases drastically with the addition of RAP in the mix. The results comparing two different RAP sources showed that the RAP source has more prominent effect on the mix fatigue performance than the binder fatigue performance. Finally, the traditional fatigue life prediction model is modified to incorporate the effect of RAP in the fatigue equation. The modified regression model predicted reasonable fatigue life of the mixture with a coefficient of determination (R2) close to 1. The measured and predicted fatigue life results were found close to each other for both mix and binder containing RAP.

Book Impact of Polymer Modification on IDEAL CT and I FIT for Balanced Mix Design

Download or read book Impact of Polymer Modification on IDEAL CT and I FIT for Balanced Mix Design written by Fan Yin and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated the impact of polymer modification, without changing the base binder, on the intermediate- temperature cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures characterized using the Indirect Tensile Asphalt Cracking Test (IDEAL-CT) and the Illinois Flexibility Index Test (I-FIT). Twelve asphalt mixtures prepared with two mix designs and six virgin binders (including two unmodified and four polymer-modified asphalt binders per mix design) were evaluated. Each mixture was tested at three binder contents and two temperatures: 25°C and an equal stiffness temperature (T=G*). In almost all cases, the polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) and unmodified mixtures with the same base binder had statistically equivalent IDEAL-CT and I-FIT results, indicating a lack of sensitivity to polymer modification. Increasing the binder content or adjusting the test temperature to T=G* did not discriminate the PMA and unmodified mixtures in the two tests. Interaction diagram analysis of the IDEAL-CT and I-FIT results showed that polymer modification generally affected the toughness and post-peak behavior of the mixture, but these effects tended to offset each other on the final cracking index parameters. Unlike the IDEAL-CT and I-FIT, the two cyclic loading tests evaluated in the study demonstrated the benefits of polymer modification. This discrepancy highlighted the potential limitation of the monotonic loading tests in assessing the fatigue cracking resistance of PMA binders and mixtures. Finally, asphalt binders extracted from the PMA versus unmodified mixtures with the same base binder showed distinctly different rheological properties, but these differences were not captured in the IDEAL-CT or I-FIT when the test variability was considered.

Book Mechanical Behavior of Nanoclay Modified Asphalt Mixtures

Download or read book Mechanical Behavior of Nanoclay Modified Asphalt Mixtures written by Saeed Ghaffarpour Jahromi and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymeric nanocomposites are among the most exciting and promising classes of materials discovered recently. A number of physical properties are successfully enhanced when a polymer is modified with small amount of nanoclay on condition that the clay is dispersed at nanoscopic level. In this research, comparative rheological tests on binders and mechanical tests on asphalt mixtures containing unmodified and nanoclay modified bitumen, were carried out. Two types of nanoclay were used: Nanofill-15 and Cloisite-15A. Rheological tests on binder were penetration, softening point, ductility, and aging effect. Mechanical tests on asphalt mixture were Marshall stability, indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus, diametric fatigue, and dynamic creep tests. Test results show that nanoclay can improve properties such as stability, resilient modulus, and indirect tensile strength and result in superior performance compared to that of unmodified bitumen under dynamic creep. Nanoclays do not seem to have beneficial effect on fatigue behavior in low temperature. Optimum binder content and void in total mixture increase by adding nanoclay to bitumen.

Book 7th RILEM International Conference on Cracking in Pavements

Download or read book 7th RILEM International Conference on Cracking in Pavements written by A. Scarpas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-30 with total page 1340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the recent past, new materials, laboratory and in-situ testing methods and construction techniques have been introduced. In addition, modern computational techniques such as the finite element method enable the utilization of sophisticated constitutive models for realistic model-based predictions of the response of pavements. The 7th RILEM International Conference on Cracking of Pavements provided an international forum for the exchange of ideas, information and knowledge amongst experts involved in computational analysis, material production, experimental characterization, design and construction of pavements. All submitted contributions were subjected to an exhaustive refereed peer review procedure by the Scientific Committee, the Editors and a large group of international experts in the topic. On the basis of their recommendations, 129 contributions which best suited the goals and the objectives of the Conference were chosen for presentation and inclusion in the Proceedings. The strong message that emanates from the accepted contributions is that, by accounting for the idiosyncrasies of the response of pavement engineering materials, modern sophisticated constitutive models in combination with new experimental material characterization and construction techniques provide a powerful arsenal for understanding and designing against the mechanisms and the processes causing cracking and pavement response deterioration. As such they enable the adoption of truly "mechanistic" design methodologies. The papers represent the following topics: Laboratory evaluation of asphalt concrete cracking potential; Pavement cracking detection; Field investigation of pavement cracking; Pavement cracking modeling response, crack analysis and damage prediction; Performance of concrete pavements and white toppings; Fatigue cracking and damage characterization of asphalt concrete; Evaluation of the effectiveness of asphalt concrete modification; Crack growth parameters and mechanisms; Evaluation, quantification and modeling of asphalt healing properties; Reinforcement and interlayer systems for crack mitigation; Thermal and low temperature cracking of pavements; and Cracking propensity of WMA and recycled asphalts.
