Green Road Construction Using Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement with Warm Mix Additive

Lillian Gungat, Meor Othman Hamzah

Abstract


Environmental impact and emissions produced from asphalt road construction, promote research on green materials by combining the recycling and warm mix asphalt additive which aims to reduce the environmental impacts. This study evaluates the effects high reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content incorporated with wax warm mix asphalt additive. Milled reclaimed asphalt pavements obtained from local roads were incorporated with a warm mix additive named RH-WMA. These materials were evaluated for the physical and rheological properties, optimum binder content and mechanical properties. It was found that RH-WMA has softening effects on the binder. The additions of 3% RH-WMA content into 40% RAP mixture decreased the optimum binder content and energy consumption. Tests on mechanical properties indicated increased on stiffness with the addition of RAP which indicated better resistance to rutting. Additions of RH-WMA on specimens that subjected to combined effects of moisture and aging showed improvement in fatigue resistance. Hence, integration of RAP and RH-WMA showed potential as a green road construction material.
