water stability of warm mix asphalt mixture based on foamed is the key evaluation index affecting its road performance. The moisture content in production process unfavorable to mixture. In order improve stability, through immersion Marshall test and freeze-thaw splitting test, taking foaming effect, temperature, consumption polymer fiber as influencing factors, control variable method used stu...

Enhancing Green Paving in Oklahoma Using Recycled Asphalt Shingles Prof. Musharraf Zaman School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science Each year, an estimated 11 million tons of old asphalt shingles from roofs are disposed of in the United States. In Oklahoma, it costs between $50 and $150 per ton, depending on size and kind of debris, to dispose of these materials in landfills. Recent ...

The quality of hot mix asphalt is affected by the quality and consistency of input aggregates and the control of the production process. To improve the quality of hot mix asphalt, both the aggregates gradation and the process variables must be considered. Current practice involves taking samples from actual production and analyzing them in the lab. The entire process can take two hours, which, ...

Sustainability and durability are the key requirements of pavement structure. asphalt structure involves utilization Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technologies with addition Reclaimed Pavement (RAP), where performance parameters like fatigue fracture resistance properties etc. Utilizing RAP content in mix increases mixing compaction temperature which may degrade asphalt. Hence, numerous studies have r...

The National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) has undertaken a wide range of hot mix asphalt (HMA) related research projects. These projects have been funded by various agencies such as the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) of the Transportation Research Board, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Alabama Department of Transportation, the South Carolina Departm...
