The environmental considerations need to be taken into account in any road resurfacing and upgrading project, for example, by reusing asphalt rubble for production of new pavement courses. Mixtures containing larger amounts of recycled asphalt pavement are improved by adding rejuvenator additives. The tests performed on the recycled asphalt mixtures containing lard imidazoline confirm the suitability of this agent for paving applications. Lard imidazoline was found to improve the stiffness modulus, fatigue performance and resistance to the action of water and freezing temperatures. The parameters obtained at the optimum content of additive complied with the criteria defined for virgin asphalt concrete and other mixtures of that kind.

Economic and environmental considerations have prompted the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in asphalt mixtures. However, given the concerns about long-term pavement performance, state departments of transportation (DOTs) tend to limit the quantities of these recycled materials unless certain mixture modifications are made [e.g., use of a softer virgin binder performance grade (PG) and warm-mix asphalt technology, the addition of a recycling agent (RA), or any combination of these modifications]. This study focused on the stiffness characterization of recycled asphalt mixtures with combinations of virgin binder PG, RAP, RAS, and RA. Materials were collected from two field projects in Texas and Indiana, and laboratory specimens were prepared and tested for resilient modulus, and dynamic modulus (| E*|) after short-term oven aging (STOA) and long-term oven aging (LTOA). An RA effectiveness parameter was proposed to quantify the rejuvenating effect of RA, which was defined as the percentage reduction in mixture stiffness for the recycled mixture with RA versus the corresponding control mixture without RA. Furthermore, the | E*| test results were analyzed with a Black Space diagram to discriminate asphalt mixtures with different stiffness and relaxation characteristics. The test results indicated that the incorporation of RA was effective in reducing the stiffness of asphalt mixtures with high recycled material content, but the effectiveness diminished with aging. Moreover, recycled mixtures with a softer and less brittle virgin binder and an RA at a higher dosage showed desirable stiffness and relaxation properties after STOA and LTOA.

The fatigue properties of asphalt mixtures are important inputs for mechanistic-empirical pavement design. To understand the fatigue properties of asphalt mixtures better and to predict the fatigue life of asphalt mixtures more precisely, the energy-controlled test mode was introduced. Based on the implementation theory, the laboratory practice for the energy-controlled mode was realized using a four-point-bending fatigue test with multiple-step loading. In this mode, the fatigue performance of typical AC-20 asphalt specimens with various reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) contents was tested and evaluated. Results show that the variation regulation of the dissipated energy and accumulative energy is compatible with the loading control principle, which proves the feasibility of the method. In addition, the fatigue life of the asphalt mixture in the energy-controlled mode was between that for the stress-controlled and strain-controlled modes. The specimen with a higher RAP content has a longer fatigue life and better fatigue performance.
