PURPOSES : The use of reclaimed aggregate has been recently increasing with the increase in the amount of waste asphalt concrete. The application of these materials can reduce the properties of the asphalt pavement when compared with the case when recycled aggregate is not used. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the asphalt mixtures with various mix ratios of reclaimed aggregate. METHODS : To measure the performance, the following tests using the mixtures prepared in accordance with the Korea Standards were conducted: Hamburg wheel-tracking test, third-scale model mobile loading simulator test, and dynamic modulus test. RESULTS : The test results of the Hamburg wheel-tracking test indicate that the water resistance was similar in each mixture and the plastic deformation resistance was good in the high-ratio reclaimed aggregate mixture. In the case of the third-scale model mobile loading simulator test, the plastic deformation demonstrated a high resistance in the high-ratio reclaimed aggregate mixture. The results were similar to those of the Hamburg wheel-tracking test; however, the cracking resistance was poor with a high recycled aggregate incorporation ratio. The dynamic modulus test results demonstrated excellent resistance to plastic deformation at a relatively high ratio of reclaimed aggregate admixture. The crack resistance was weakened when a high ratio of reclaimed aggregate mixture was used. CONCLUSIONS: As the reclaimed aggregate content increased, the plastic deformation resistance increased and the crack resistance decreased.

PURPOSES : Asphalt concrete pavement is damaged by various causes such as traffic and environmental loads. The distressed pavement should be maintained by various methods to provide a comfortable and safe pavement for the driver. This study evaluates the effect of adding a mixing procedure to enhance the mixture quality in the hot in-placement recycled asphalt pavement method, which is an asphalt-pavement maintenance method. METHODS: Various test methods such as Marshall stability and dynamic stability, were employed to estimate the recycled asphalt mixture with and without an additional mixing, using the hot in-placement recycled asphalt pavement method. RESULTS : The mixture samples used in this study were taken before and after the addition of the mixer in the hot in-placement recycled asphalt pavement method (HIR) at field construction sites in GongJu and JinJu in South Korea. The test results of both mixtures satisfied the asphalt-mixture standard specifications. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed that adding a mixer in the HIR method results in a well-mixed new asphalt mixture, rejuvenator, and reclaimed asphalt mixture.

본 연구는 재생 아스팔트 혼합물의 취 약 특성을 파악하고 이를 보완하기 위한 기초연구이다. 본 연구의 목적은 재생혼합물 내의 신 구 재료에 묻어 있는 바인더의 노화상태를 균등하게 할 수 있는 여러 가지 혼합방법을 제안하고 바인더의 노화특성을 개선하기 위한 방안을 제시하는 것이다. 재생혼합물의 굵은골재 및 매트릭스의 바인더 노화특성 분석은 Gel-permeation chromatography(GPC)를 통해 수행되었다. 재생혼합물 내 바인더의 노화상태 분석을 위한 혼합물 제조에는 원형골재(13mm 강자갈)가 굵은골재로 사용되어 RAP 굵은골재와의 구분이 용이토록 하였다. GPC를 통한 재생혼합물 내 바인더의 노화상태를 분석한 결과 신 구 바인더의 노화 정도에 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 이를 개선하기 위해 본 연구에서는 5가지 혼합방법(AE)을 검토하였으며 D방법(RAP과 신규바인더를 선 비빔 후 신규골재 투입)에 의한 혼합방법의 개선으로 재생혼합물 내의 노화 정도의 차이가 크게 작아지는 것으로 나타났다.
