Moisture Damage of Warm Mix Asphalt Concrete

Ncat Evaluates Warm Mix Asphalt

In addition to lower emissions warm mix asphalt has several advantages over hot mix asphalt such as fuel energy savings, decreased binder aging and an extended paving season (Photo courtesy: Matthew Corrigan, FHWA) The National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) is evaluating warm mix asphalt (WMA) technologies. WMA technology allows the mixing, lay down, and compaction of asphalt mixes at si...

Utilization of Recycled Asphalt Concrete with Warm Mix Asphalt and Cost-Benefit Analysis

The asphalt paving industries are faced with two major problems. These two important challenges are generated with an increase in demand for environmentally friendly paving mixtures and the problem of rapidly rising raw materials. Recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is a critical necessity to save precious aggregates and reduce the use of costly bitumen. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technol...

Investigating the rutting and moisture sensitivity of warm mix asphalt with varying contents of recycled asphalt pavement

Investigation of Warm-Mix Asphalt Using Iowa Aggregates

The implementation of WMA is becoming more widespread with a growing number of contractors using various WMA technologies. Early research suggests WMA may be more susceptible to moisture damage than traditional HMA mixes. Asphalt performance tests can be a good way of measuring material responses that can be correlated with pavement performance. It is important for owner/agencies to know that t...
