Properly designed and maintained asphalt pavements operate for ten to twenty-five years and have to be rehabilitated after that period. Cold in-place recycling has priority over all other rehabilitation methods since it is done without preheating and transportation of reclaimed asphalt pavement. Multiple researches on the performance of cold recycled mixtures have been done; however, it is unclear how the entire pavement structure (cold recycled asphalt pavement overlaid with asphalt mixture) performs depending on binding agents. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of cold in-place recycled asphalt pavements considering binding agents (foamed bitumen in combination with cement or only cement) and figure out which binder leads to the best pavement performance. Three road sections rehabilitated in 2000, 2003, and 2005 were analysed. The performance of the entire pavement structure was evaluated in terms of the International Roughness Index, rut depth, and pavement surface distress in 2013 and 2017.

This paper summarizes the results of a study conducted to evaluate the behaviour of recycled asphalt pavements with respect to low-temperature cracking. For this purpose, a recycled mix consisting of 45.2% reclaimed materials and 54.8% virgin materials as well as a virgin control mix were used in the research program. In the design of both mixes, their initial properties were kept as close as possible to each other to allow for a proper comparison between recycled and virgin asphalt pavements. Using mix properties that were determined experimentally in the laboratory, thermal stresses resulted from drop in temperature and the expected cracking temperatures were determined for both mixes. An experimental analysis based on laboratory tests that consider the pavement properties only as well as a more complete theoretical analysis based on a finite element computer program known as FETAB were included in this study. The program incorporates subgrade parameters, as well as pavement properties and thickness. Using these variables as inputs to the program, the expected performance of recycled and virgin asphalt pavements of various thicknesses and resting on different types of subgrade, with respect to low-temperature cracking, was studied. The results of the study indicated that recycled asphalt pavements would perform better than virgin asphalt pavements of similar initial properties. Key words: asphalt, finite element, low-temperature cracking, reclaimed, recycled, thermal stresses.

Moisture damage in hot mix asphalt pavements is a periodic but persistent problem nowadays, even though laboratory testing is performed to identify different moisture-susceptible mixtures. In this study, a Hamburg Wheel Tracking device (HWTD) was used for rutting tests which were conducted on control and a high percentage of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), i.e., 30%, 50% and 100% of virgin mixtures, under air dry and water-immersed conditions. Similarly, the extracted bitumen from RAP was tested for binder physical properties. Results showed that the asphalt mixtures containing RAP have less rut depth as compared to the control mix both in air dry and immersion conditions and hence showed better anti-rutting properties and moisture stability. Stripping performance of control and RAP containing mixtures was also checked, concluding that the RAP mixture was greatly dependent on the interaction between the binder (virgin plus aged) and aggregates.

Vehicle Loads

This research was undertaken to study the combined effect of repeated vehicle loads and low temperatures on the design thickness for both recycled and virgin asphalt pavements. It included three parts of work: theoretical analysis, laboratory tests, and computation. In the theoretical analysis, the finite layer method was used instead of the conventional layered theory to obtain the relationship between vehicle loads and the mechanical parameters in the pavement layers. In the laboratory tests, the behaviour of a recycled asphalt concrete mix consisting of 42% reclaimed and 58% new material was compared with that of a virgin asphalt concrete mix of similar characteristics. Finally, a computer program FPAVE was developed to determine the pavement thicknesses directly and conveniently. These thicknesses were then plotted in the form of curves for comparing the two types of pavements as well as for comparison with the thickness at 22 °C. Key words: asphalt pavement, fatigue, pavement design, recycling, temperature.
