    Uploaded by

    Royhan Rizky
    This document discusses warm mix asphalt (WMA) technologies in the United States. It summarizes that the number of available WMA technologies in the US has grown from 2005 to present. It also provides an overview of the different categories of WMA technologies including material processing, organic additives, chemical additives, and foaming processes. Additionally, it outlines various national research initiatives on WMA led by FHWA and research groups to further evaluate WMA performance and best practices.

    Performance Metrics
    1. By December 2011, 40 State DOTs and all Federal Lands Divisions will have a specification &/or contractual language that allows WMA on Federal-aid or Federal Lands projects. 2. By December 2012, at least 30 State DOTs will have achieved set targets for WMA usage.

    35

    The Givens
    WMA will continue to gain market share New innovations will occur Research will be challenged to keep up The demand for knowledge and training will grow

    Change is certain!!
    36

    Where do we go from here?


    Implementation of standardized mixture design procedure (AASHTO R35 Appendix) Emphasize performance testing of WMA
    Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester (AMPT)
    Dynamic Modulus, Flow Number, Fatigue

    Lab conditioning of WMA mixtures for mechanical testing

    37

    Where do we go from here?


    Evaluation processes AASHTO NTPEP
    Rigorous but not burdensome
    Demonstrate successful projects Document test results Successful field trials

    Not too time-consuming

    38

    Where do we go from here?


    Research
    Short term performance is very promising Document long term performance
    Fatigue and cold temperature properties

    WMA pavement ageing progression in the field Lubricating phenomenon within mixture Lab performance vs. field performance
