Study on the Performance of the Physical Foaming Warm-mix Recycled Asphalt Mixture

摘要

In order to evaluate the performance of the physical foaming warm-mix recycled asphalt mixture (WRAM), the hot mix plant recycling technology was adopted to develop AC-20 hot-mix recycled asphalt mixture (HRAM) and the WRAM of different reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) contents. The high temperature stability, water stability and low temperature crack resistance performance of the reclaimed asphalt pavement were evaluated. The results indicate that the physical foaming WRAM feature better high temperature stability, water stability and low temperature crack resistance compared to those of HRAM. With the increase in RAP contents, the high temperature stability of the physical foaming WRAM and HRAM rises notably but the water stability and low temperature crack resistance performance continues to drop.
