Effects of curing on emulsion cold mix asphalts and their extracted binder

Abstract This paper focuses on the physicochemical changes that happen in cold mix asphalts during curing, and more specifically, while after transitioning to different simulated seasons. Several tests were carried out order better grasp influence of weather (temperature humidity) curing such materials. The mechanical behaviour was assessed using oedometer tests. evolutions extracted binders, as oxidation rheology, evaluated. results show stiffening ageing binder linked a higher temperature lower humidity. A low high moisture seem slow down these evolutions. However does not explain whole kinetics between them are always similar. Thus other mechanisms yet be found taken into account fully understand behaviour.
