Warm mix asphalt (WMA) has been widely accepted as a future asphalt paving technology. Besides clear advantages, there are still some concerns regarding durability and long-term performance of pavements made with this type of asphalt mixtures. One of the most important issues is low temperature behaviour of WMA because certain additives used for temperature reduction can affect bitumen properties. This paper presents the evaluation of low-temperature properties of laboratory-produced asphalt concrete for wearing course with selected WMA additives. One type of bitumen with paving grade 50/70 and five WMA additives of different nature (organic, surface tension reducer and combination of both) were used in this study. The production and compaction temperature of mixtures containing WMA additives was 25 °C lower in comparison with the temperature of the reference mix. To assess the susceptibility of WMA to low-temperature cracking, Semi-Circular Bending (SCB) and Thermal Stress Restrained Specimen Test (TSRST) were used. Supplementary rating was made by analysing Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) test results of asphalt binders.

Analysis Of Performance

Sasobit warm mix drainage asphalt pavement has become increasingly popular due to its environmental benefits and comfortable using effect. However, test results show that its low-temperature and anti-fatigue performance have a certain degree of reduced. To improve the performance of asphalt four different doses (1%, 3%, 5% and 7%) of salt are added to the Sasobit asphalt. Laboratory tests were used to simulate short and long term aging asphalt in the process of construction and using pavement. A series of binder tests including bending beam rheometer (BBR), dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and Brookfield viscosity tests were conducted. Results show an increase of rutting performance for warm mix binders with Sasobit while asphalt with salt has similar high temperature performance to original asphalt. Unlike Sasobit which has a decrease of cracking performance for asphalt at low-temperature, salinity can greatly improve the Low-temperature performance. And the low-temperature cracking performance and anti-fatigue performance presents a tendency of climbing up first and then declining with the increase of salinity. The figure of viscosity-temperature curve shows that the optimum of salinity is 5%.Further more, asphalt with Sasobit and salt can gain better performance and same mixing and compaction effect in lower 20°C than hot mix asphalt without it.
