Developing a sustainable, post treated, half warm mix asphalt for structural surface layer

Sustainability and materials recycling have increasingly acquired importance in various aspects of life. It has well known that 95% roads are paved with hot mix asphalt (HMA), their raw require a lot energy to prepare lead the release considerable amount CO2 into environment. As result, developing new technologies sustainable asphaltic mixture consumes less is eco-friendly becomes necessity. This research aims develop half-warm by exposing cold bituminous emulsion (CBEM) post treatment using microwave technique, as utilising crushed glass waste fine aggregate. The newly developed (half warm mixture, or HWBEM) evaluated terms two main failure distress (cracking rutting) wheel track (WTT) indirect tensile tolerance index, cracking index (CT-index), addition volumetric durability evaluation term air voids content (AV) retained Marshall stability test (RMS). Tests results regarding mechanical, volumetric, properties indicated was relatively comparable some referenced CBEM superior one aspect. Moreover, sustainability aspect achieved successfully replacing significant virgin aggregate glass. Based on program, it can be said HWBEM incorporated work structural surface layer.
