Performance evaluation of a cold-recycled mixture containing high percentage of reclaimed asphalt
Cold recycling of asphalt pavements proved to be an effective maintenance and rehabilitation technology for both environmental and economic reasons. Nevertheless, the use of cold-recycled (CR) asphalt mixtures requires a careful assessment of their mechanical properties, especially when they are designed to replace traditional hot-mix asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures. In this study, the potential use of a CR asphalt mixture as base course of an Italian motorway was evaluated. The studied mixture was produced in a central plant employing high-reclaimed asphalt (RA) content and used to construct two experimental sections along an in-service Italian motorway. In particular, a special mixing procedure, involving the use of water vapour and bituminous emulsion, was tested. A third experimental section was constructed with the same layer thickness using the AC mixture currently used in rehabilitation projects, incorporating 30% of RA. Volumetric properties, stiffness, resistance to permanent deformation and fatigue behaviour of mixtures were investigated by performing tests on samples cored from the three test sections and on laboratory-compacted samples. Results of the mechanical tests showed that CR mixtures provide lower stiffness modulus and lower resistance to repeated loading, but better resistance to permanent deformation when compared with AC. This behaviour can be explained due to the presence of cementitious bonds that reduce thermal sensitivity and viscous response.
