PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to estimate the optimum content of an inorganic additive for cold-recycled asphalt mixtures and evaluate its performance. METHODS: An indirect tensile test, a tensile-strength ratio test, and an indirect tensile-fatigue test were conducted on cold-recycling asphalt mixtures with various additives. RESULTS: The laboratory performance tests indicated that granulated blast-furnace slag mixed with inorganic and cement activators provided optimum performance. The performance results of the cold-recycled asphalt pavement were similar to the inorganic and cement activators’ performance in terms of the indirect tensile strength, tensile strength ratio, and indirect tensile-fatigue test. CONCLUSIONS : Overall, the performance of a cold-recycled asphalt mixture using inorganic additives and emulsion asphalt was comparable to a warm-recycled asphalt mixture. However, more experiments aimed at improving its performance and studying the effect of the inorganic additives must be conducted.

PURPOSES : The main purposes of this study are to examine the influences of polyethylene wax-based WMA additive on the optimum asphalt content of warm-recycled asphalt mixture based on the Marshall mix design and to evaluate performance of warm-recycled asphalt mixture containing 30% RAP with polyethylene wax-based WMA additive. METHODS: Physical and rheological properties of the residual asphalt were evaluated in terms of penetration, softening point, ductility and performance grade (PG) in order to examine the effects of polyethylene wax-based WMA additive on the residual asphalt. Also, To evaluate performance characteristics of the warm-recycled asphalt mixtures using polyethylene wax-based WMA additive along with a control hot-recycled asphalt mixture, indirect tensile strength test, modified Lottman test, dynamic immersion test, wheel tracking test and dynamic modulus test were conduced in the laboratory. RESULTS : Based on the limited laboratory test results, polyethylene wax-based WMA additive is effective to decrease mixing and compacting temperatures without compromising the volumetric characteristics of warm-recycled asphalt mixtures compared to hot-recycled asphalt mixture. Also, it doesn't affect the optimum asphalt content on recycled-asphalt mixture. All performance test results show that the performance of warm-recycled asphalt mixture using polyethylene wax-based WMA additive is similar to that of a control hot-recycled asphalt mixture. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the performance of warm-recycled asphalt mixture using polyethylene wax-based WMA additive is comparable to hot-recycled asphalt mixture.

본 논문은 준고온 첨가제가 혼입된 3 종류(일반아스팔트, SBS 및 SMA)의 아스팔트 혼합물 다짐도 변화에 대한 시험 결과이다. 다짐 특성을 조사 분석하기 위하여 다짐 시간 변화와 준고온 첨가제 함량 변화에 의한 다짐도 측정을 실시하였으며, 다짐 온도를 일반시료에 비하여 30℃ 및 50℃를 낮추어 밀도를 비교하였다. 선회 다짐 장비를 사용하여 다짐 횟수 변화에 따른 다짐밀도의 변화를 측정하였다. 다짐시간 경과와 다짐도의 관계는 3 종류의 준고온 첨가제를 일반 아스팔트에 첨가하여 다짐시간 변화와 첨가제 함량 변화에 따른 다짐도를 측정하였다. 온도 저감에 따른 다짐도 비교는 일반 아스팔트 혼합물, 고분자 개질 아스팔트 및 SMA 혼합물 3 종류의 혼합물을 사용하여 시험을 실시하였다. 준고온 아스팔트 혼합물은 다짐온도 저감으로 인하여 일반시료 아스팔트 혼합물과 밀도의 차이가 발생하지 않아서 다짐도가 안정된 상태를 나타냈다. 한편, 혼합물의 종류 및 준고온 첨가제의 종류에 따라 밀도의 차이, 다짐도 변화의 추이 변화가 발견되어 이들 두 인자 사이에 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
