| Abstract | Luis C. Gaitan EVALUATION OF THE DEGREE OF BLENDING OF RECLAIMED ASPHALT PAVEMENT (RAP) BINDER FOR WARM MIX ASPHALT 2011/12 Thesis Chair: Yusuf Mehta, Ph.D., P.E. Master of Science in Civil Engineering The paving industry in recent years has seen the emergence of a plethora of warm mix asphalt (WMA) technologies and application. With most states incorporating a recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) limit, it is necessary for WMA to not only serve as a greener technology but to work in conjunction with current RAP practices. Presently, most agencies assume a full blending condition in their mixtures which may lead to under asphalted mixtures. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for quantifying the degree of blending that occurs in WMA RAP mixtures at higher percentages of RAP. In addition to the methodology, the degree of blending will be determined for WMA and HMA production temperatures as well as other varying prepaving conditions like mixing time, mixing temperatures, conditioning time, and WMA type. A comparison between fine and coarse extracted samples immediately showed that the binder from virgin and RAP aggregate is not similar and is not fully blended. Degree |
