Hamburg Wheel Tracking

The selection and specification of asphalt binder is one of the factors that ultimately affect the long-term performance of asphalt pavements. Many agencies currently follow AASHTO M320 for their binder specifications, where the ratio of dynamic modulus to the sine of the phase angle, | G*|/sin δ, is the binder rutting parameter. However, an alternative now exists, AASHTO M332, which uses the non-recovered creep compliance, J nr , for this purpose. In this paper, the relative merits of these two parameters are compared using experimental results from 21 different asphalt mixtures from Arizona. The rutting parameters according to AASHTO M332 and M320 were determined for each of the binders in these mixtures and, for each mixture, two rutting performance tests were conducted: Hamburg wheel tracking test and repeated load permanent deformation test. The two binder rutting parameters demonstrated very high correlation to one another for non-polymer modified asphalts, but inconsistent correlation for polymer modified asphalts. Both Hamburg wheel tracking tests and repeated load permanent deformation tests showed positive correlations to both | G*|/sin δ and Jnr. It was concluded that, while both parameters showed good correlation, the Jnr of the binder relates better to mixture rutting than does | G*|/sin δ. Considering the results in this study, it is believed that Jnr is a slightly better rutting parameter for binder specifications.

The Virginia Department of Transportation began allowing the use of warm mix asphalt (WMA) in 2008. Although several WMA technologies were investigated prior to implementation, foamed WMA was not. This study evaluated the properties and performance of foamed WMA placed during the initial implementation of the technology to determine whether the technology had performed as expected. Six mixtures produced using plant foaming technologies and placed between 2008 and 2010 were identified and subjected to field coring and laboratory testing. Coring was performed in 2014, resulting in pavement ages from 4 to 6 years. Three comparable hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures were cored at 5 years for comparison. Cores were evaluated for air-void contents and permeability and were subjected to dynamic modulus, repeated load permanent deformation, and overlay testing. In addition, binder was extracted and recovered for performance grading. Similar properties were found for the WMA and HMA mixtures. One WMA mixture had high dynamic modulus and binder stiffness, but overlay testing did not indicate any tendency for premature cracking. All binders had aged between two and three performance grades above that specified at construction. WMA binders and one HMA binder aged two grades higher, and the remaining two HMA binders aged three grades higher, indicating a likely influence on aging of the reduced temperatures at which the early foamed mixtures were typically produced. Overall results indicated that foamed WMA and HMA mixtures should be expected to perform similarly.

Hamburg Wheel Tracking

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.

In Iraq, the significant increase in the number of passenger cars and trucks (increased inaxle loads) in addition to the unprecedented rise of temperature in the summer hasincreased the risk of permanent deformation of flexible pavement (Rutting) in recenttimes. Lower costs maintenance and extending serves life of flexible pavements are themain objectives of this study by improving rut resisting of it using the waste locallyavailable materials (Dates Kernel Powder).The Superpave design criteria is used to determine optimum asphalt content at 4% airvoids for hot mix with Lime Stone Dust and Dates Kernel Powder as a filler materials tothree types of aggregate blend. Preparing 54 samples with dimension (400*300*50) mmat 110˚C compacted temperature to test it by Wheel-Tracking device at 40˚C, 50˚C and60˚C. Based on wheel-tracking device results, it can be show that there was a significantdecrease in the value of the Rut Depth when using the Dates Kernel Powder as analternative to Lime Stone Dust as a filler materials in Hot Mix Asphalt and it can be usedto improve the rut resisting; the maximum percent of reduction is 67.71 after 3000 cycleof passing at 60ºC and 49.35 as a minimum percent of reduction after 5000 cycle at 40ºCtested temperature, then it can be seen that the impact of Hot Mix Asphalt with DatesKernel Powder is less at high temperatures than mixes with Lime Stone Dust on RutDepth value.

The development of the permanent deformation of subgrade soils under repeated load tests may consists of three stages, namely the primary, secondary and tertiary stages, but the existing models can not describe this behavior very well, so a new model is required to be developed. Based on the creep equation of the soil under static load, a mechanistic model is developed to describe the development of the permanent deformation of the soil under repeated load tests. Triaxial repeated load tests are conducted for silty soils and results show that, under some conditions, the development of the permanent deformation of silty clay consists of three stages and the number of load repetitions corresponding to the initiation of the tertiary stage is 330,0000. The new model is used to fit the test results and the comparison of test results and fitting results prove that this model can describe all three stages of permanent deformation.

Premature pavement breakdown can be caused by permanent deformation that can contribute to lower riding comfort for road users and an increase in maintenance costs. Dynamic modulus Simple Performance Test (SPT) test are considered to be significant in describing the permanent deformation of hot mix asphalt. In this study, Marshall method of mix design were used in order to prepare four asphalt mixtures comprising different content of Nanopolyacrylate (NP) polymer (0%NP, 2%NP, 4%NP and 6%NP). This study was aimed to evaluate the influence of the NP modified mixture on the permanent deformation. The Performance Grade PG64-22 was obtained by mixing the conventional bitumen (PG64-22) with nanopolyacrylate. Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) at different aging condition were conducted in order to characterise the bitumen performance. While, the Simple Performance Test (SPT) was used to characterize rutting and fatigue on Marshall HMA mixes. Results from the study presented that, NP modified bitumen has a significant impact on the dynamic and rutting resistance. The addition of nanopolyacrylate significantly enhances the rheological properties of asphalt bitumen. The results revealed that 4%NP has high potential to improve rutting and fatigue resistance
