Asphalt pavement is under different climatic conditions throughout its service life, which means that fatigue cracking does not occur at a specific temperature, but at a temperature range. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the influence of different temperatures in the fatigue life of two asphalt binders: a non-modified binder (penetration grade 30/45) and a highly polymermodified binder (HPMB). The fatigue resistance characterization was performed by means of a linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test at the temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30°C using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). From the dynamic shear modulus (|G*|) results, adhesion loss was observed between the binder and the rheometer parallel plate at the lower temperature of 10°C,while at higher temperatures (25 and 30°C) plastic flow was observed rather than fatigue damage. Therefore, considering that the actual test procedure does not specify the testing temperature, the evaluation of failure mechanism is essential to validate test results, because the random selection of test temperature might lead to inconsistent data.

The addition of polymers on asphalt binders aims to enhance their performance, especially at high temperatures, which correspond to rutting resistance. The Superpave rutting parameter (|G*|/sinδ) has been considered to be inadequate to characterize the performance of modified materials, therefore the Multiple Stress Creep and Recovery (MSCR) test was developed, providing the parameter non-recoverable compliance (Jnr). This research has the main objective of correlating asphalt binders performance-based characterization with rutting resistance of asphalt mixtures, and presents results obtained for one conventional (50/70 penetration grade) and two modified asphalt binders (2.1% RET and 1.9% RET) regarding their rheological characteristics. With the use of the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), master curves and MSCR results were obtained for the three binders. In addition, permanent deformation tests were performed on the asphalt mixtures by means of laboratory traffic simulation. The rutting characterization indicated higher permanent deformation resistance for the modified binders for the asphalt binder and the asphalt mixture testing. The main conclusions were that the use of modified binder reduced in approximately 50% the Jnr values and the rut depth; also, the asphalt binders’ characteristics were able to predict the asphalt mixtures rutting resistance.

- Abstract
To cope with the global climate crisis and assist in achieving the carbon neutrality, the use of biomass materials to fully or partially replace petroleum-based products and unrenewable resources is expected to become a widespread solution. Based on the analysis of the existing literature, this paper firstly classified biomass materials with potential application prospects in pavement engineering according to their application and summarized their respective preparation methods and characteristics. The pavement performance of asphalt mixtures with biomass materials was analyzed and summarized, and the economic and environmental benefits of bio-asphalt binder were evaluated. The analysis shows that pavement biomass materials with potential for practical appli-cation can be divided into three categories: bio-oil, bio-fiber, and bio-filler. Adding bio-oil to modify or extend the virgin asphalt binder can mostly improve the low temperature performance of asphalt binder. Adding styrene-butadienestyrene (SBS) or other preferable bio-components for composite modification will have a further improved effect. Most of the asphalt mixtures prepared by using bio-oil modified asphalt binders have improved the low temperature crack resistance and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures, but the high tem-perature stability and moisture resistance may decrease. As a rejuvenator, most bio-oils can restore the high and low temperature performance of aged asphalt and recycled asphalt mixture, and improve fatigue resistance. Adding bio-fiber could significantly improve the high temperature stability, low temperature crack resistance and moisture resistance of asphalt mixtures. Biochar as a bio-filler can slow down the asphalt aging process and some other bio-fillers can improve the high temperature stability and fatigue resistance of asphalt binders. Through calculation, it is found that the cost performance of bio-asphalt has the ability to surpass conventional asphalt and has economic, QC 20230630

- Abstract
RILEM TC-279 WMR task group TG 1 studied the performance of waste Polyethylene (PE) in bituminous bituminous binder and bituminous mixtures. Several laboratories participated in this study following a common protocol. Locally sources aggregates and bituminous binder and same source of waste PE and were utilized. The binder experiments showed that at high temperatures, using MSCR tests, PE modified blends had better resistance to permanent deformation in comparison to the non modified binder. Whereas at low temperatures, using the LAS tests, fatigue performance of the PE blends could withstand more loading cycles under low strains; however, it could sustain less loading cycles under high strains due to the increase in brittleness. Dry process was used for the mixture experiments in order to bypass the stability and inhomogeneity experience that was observed at the binder scale. The PE modified mixtures showed improved workability and increased strength. The higher the PE dosage the higher the ITS increase with respect to the values measured for the control materials (i.e., without any plastic waste) thanks to the improved cohesion of the plastic modified mastic. The stiffness experiments showed an improved performance with a lower time dependence and a higher elasticity that were often measured when plastic was added. The cyclic compression tests demonstrated a reduced creep rate along with a higher creep modulus thanks to the addition of PE; similar conclusions can be drawn from the experimental findings coming from wheel tracking test. Furthermore, acceptable and often improved moisture resistance was observed for PE modified materials.

Recycling techniques are important tools for rehabilitation of old and deteriorated asphalt pavements. The production of cold recycled mixes using reclaimed asphalt pavement as aggregates provides economic benefits as it decreases transportation costs, energy consumption, and gas emissions. Despite that, there is no internationally accepted methodology to design this type of mix. The present research evaluated the design of cold recycled mixes through different compaction methods and varying asphalt emulsion and cement contents. Different curing temperatures and periods were analyzed to propose a faster and more practical method for mix design in the laboratory. Mechanical tests performed indicated that specimens compacted by the Marshall hammer provide similar results when varying asphalt emulsion and cement contents, while the Proctor hammer compaction was able to better capture the influence of these materials. The temperature of 60°C associated with shorter curing time is believed to be good for design purposes. Key words: cold recycled mixes design, compaction methods, mechanical behavior, curing processes.

- Abstract
This paper describes the development of novel/state-of-art computational framework to accurately predict the degree of binder activity of a reclaimed asphalt pavement sample as a percentage of the indirect tensile strength (ITS) using a reduced number of input variables that are relatively easy to obtain, namely compaction temperature, air voids and ITS. Different machine learning (ML) techniques were applied to obtain the most accurate data representation model. Specifically, three ML techniques were applied: 6th-degree multivariate polynomial regression with regularization, artificial neural network and random forest regression. The three techniques produced models with very similar precision, reporting a mean absolute error ranging from 12.2 to 12.8% of maximum ITS on the test data set. The work presented in this paper is an evolution in terms of data analysis of the results obtained within the interlaboratory tests conducted by Task Group 5 of the RILEM Technical Committee 264 on Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement. Hence, despite it has strong bonds with this framework, this work was developed independently and can be considered as a natural follow-up.

- Abstract
This recommendation is based on the results of an inter-laboratory study organised by the RILEM technical committee TC 264-RAP "Asphalt Pavement Recycling"—Task Group 3 (TG3) focusing on Asphalt Binder for Recycled Asphalt Mixture. The TG3 aimed to evaluate the effect of a specific family of materials known as asphalt recycling agent (ARA) on the aged binder under different configurations. Even though ageing is an irreversible phenomenon, effective ARA must have the capability to improve the flexibility of the bituminous materials and their resistance against cracking susceptibility with no adverse effect on the rutting resistance of pavements containing reclaimed asphalt. A total of 17 participating laboratories analysed the properties of binder blends composed of aged binder from reclaimed asphalt in three different contents (60, 80, 100%), ARA and virgin binder. The physical properties of the blends were thoroughly evaluated through traditional and rheological binder testing. This recommendation proposes to restore the original material properties at low and intermediate temperatures (i.e. cracking resistance) while balancing the high-temperature characteristics (i.e. rutting susceptibility) with durable impact throughout the progression of ageing phenomena. Therefore, using of the Dynamic Shear Rheometer is foreseen as a more suitable and sustainable means to evaluate binder blends containing an asphalt recycling agent. Compared with conventional testing, the proposed approach requires fewer materials while resulting in a faster experimental procedure with one single test.

- Abstract
This research aims to determine if the observed improvements using polyethylene (PE) waste in asphalt binder translate into better performance at the asphalt mixture scale in the laboratory environment while overcoming the stability and homogeneity issues experienced at the binder level. This is accomplished through a round-robin multinational experimental program covering four continents, with the active participation of eleven laboratories within the RILEM TC 279-WMR. PE modified AC16 mixtures were prepared employing the dry process using local materials with the PE waste provided by one source. Various mechanical tests were performed to investigate the compactability, strength, moisture sensitivity, stiffness and permanent deformation. Compared to the control mixtures, the following observations were made for PE modified mixtures: easier to compact, lower time dependence of stiffness, higher elastic behavior, lower creep rate, and higher creep modulus. Furthermore, cyclic compression test results showed that the resistance to permanent deformation is improved when using PE in asphalt mixtures, whereas the wheel tracking tests showed relatively similar or better results when 1.5% PE was added to the control mixture. The wheel tracking test results in water showed an increase in deformation with increasing PE content. The interlaboratory investigation showed that the use of PE as a performance enhancing additive in asphalt pavements is a viable, environmentally friendly option for recycling waste plastic and could potentially reduce the use of polymer additives in asphalt.

- Abstract
The use of rejuvenators has seen a consistent increase over the years in the asphalt pavement industry. This is due to the need for maximizing the demand for incorporating a higher amount of Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) in the pavement asphalt mixtures. In order to tackle this challenge, the Task Group 3, focusing on asphalt binders and additives, of the RILEM TC RAP conducted an interlaboratory activity to evaluate the effect of aging on blends of virgin and rejuvenated RA binders. A set of conventional tests including penetration value at 25 °C, softening point temperature and rheological measurements by means of Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) were selected to involve a large number of participants. A binder, recovered from field RA, was treated with a bio-based rejuvenator and blended with a virgin binder to simulate recycling at three different percentages 60 %, 80 %, and 100 %. These blends, as well as the pure virgin binder, were next short and long term aged and tested to evaluate the changes in the corresponding properties. Relatively consistent results were obtained for the entire set of blends. The aging of combined rejuvenated RA and virgin binders was comparable to that experienced for the pure virgin binder. DSR data provided a more precise evolution of the impact of aging on the materials.

- Abstract
The lack of understanding the mechanisms governing the interaction between reclaimed asphalt binder (RAb)1 and recycling agents is one of the technical issues that still need to be resolved when high amount of reclaimed asphalt (RA)2 is used in a new recycled asphalt mixture (RAM). Due to important role of RAb in that interaction and increased used of RA, it becomes necessary to have a way to classify RA, as any other material used in asphalt mixture production. It is very important to determine how much RAb is active by itself (DoA)3, but also to determine how much RAb can be considered available for a mix design of RAM (DoAv)4 when a recycling agent is used. Finally, since that RAM’s properties are strongly dependent on the degree of blending between RAb and recycling agent (DoB)5, it should evaluate to what extent RAb contributes to the final properties of RAM. These blending parameters (DoA, DoAv and DoB) are so crucial that identifying suitable methodologies for their assessment would be extremely important in performing a proper mix design due to dangerous of having a lack of active bitumen in RAM. This paper presents a literature review of methods which have been used for the evaluation and assessment of mentioned parameters, grouped in four macro-areas: mechanical, chemical, visualization and mechanistic approaches. Furthermore, summarized review of used methods was prepared together with their critical review, all with aim to find appropriate methods for determining these parameters.

- Abstract

The use of ´interlayers´ that tolerate high tensile and shear strain that exists above cracks in deteriorated pavements is becoming an interesting solution to prevent reflective cracking. Recent advances in polymer technology have led to binders that can be used to produce interlayer mixtures with good mechanical properties. In this study, two polymer-modified asphalt binders were evaluated, both from the production of strain relief asphalt mixtures used as interlayers in the field. The binder characterization was presented in two groups: (i) the empirical tests required in the Brazilian specification, and (ii) the rheological properties (frequency/temperature sweep and MSCR tests). Results showed that the difference in rheological properties of the asphalt binder used for strain relief asphalt mixtures did not follow the same difference obtained according to the empirical tests of the Brazilian specification. The G*/sinδ and MSCR parameters (Jnr and percentage of recovery) were able to differentiate the asphalt binders, but the MSCR parameters were more sensitive. Resumen El uso de capas intermedias que toleren los altos esfuerzos de tensión y cortantes que existen alrededor de las grietas de pavimentos deteriorados se ha constituido en una solución interesante para prevenir la reflexión de grietas. Avances recientes en la tecnología de polímeros han generado ligantes que pueden ser usados para producir mezclas para capas intermedias con buenas propiedades mecánicas. En este estudio, dos asfaltos modificados con polímeros fueron evaluados, ambos empleados en la producción de mezclas asfálticas de alivio de deformaciones usadas como capas intermedias en campo. La caracterización de los ligantes se presentó en dos grupos: (i) los ensayos empíricos requeridos por la especificación brasilera, y (ii) las propiedades reológicas (barrido de frecuencia/temperatura y ensayos MSCR). Los resultados mostraron que el ligante asfáltico usado para las mezclas asfálticas de alivio de deformaciones presentó propiedades reológicas considerablemente diferentes, a pesar de que su caracterización a través de ensayos empíricos es similar. Los parámetros G*/sinδ y MSCR (Jnr y porcentaje de recuperación) lograron diferenciar los ligantes asfálticos, aunque los parámetros del MSCR mostraron mayor sensibilidad.

Pavimentos de asfalto ,Transportes - Abstract
The use of new asphalt mixtures and a new design process are still in consolidation at the universities and departments of transportation in Brazil. The main objective of this research is to design hot mix asphalts with different aggregate gradations using both the Marshall and Superpave (level 1) design method. The differences between these two design methodsare: (i) theoretical maximum specific gravity (Gmm) determination; (ii) compaction method; and (iii) short-term aging of the mixtures. It was selected to this research dense mixtures with 4%air voids, but with continuous and gap-graded gradations. The Gmm was determined indirectly from the mixture composition and the relative densities of the constituents of the mixes, and through the uses of a vacuum pump (Rice method). Short-term aging was considered just in the Superpave design, with 2 hours inthe oven at the compaction temperature. The design results showed higher optimum asphalt content for the Superpave mixtures. The mechanical behavior of the mixtures was evaluated by: the indirect tensile strenght, resilient modulus, fatigue life (stress controlled), resistance to moisture damage, and permanent deformation. O conhecimento dentro das universidades brasileiras, e principalmente dos órgãos rodoviários, sobre novos tipos de misturas asfálticas e novas formas de dosagens, vem sendo consolidado, mas ainda precisa ser transformado em metodologias correntes. O objetivo geral dessa pesquisa foi a realização da dosagem de misturas asfálticas usinadas a quente com diferentes granulometrias através das metodologias Marshall e Superpave (Nível I).Os procedimentos de dosagem selecionados apresentam como maiores diferenças: (i) forma de determinação da densidade máxima teórica (DMT); (ii) forma de compactação; e (iii) envelhecimento de curto prazo das misturas. As misturas selecionadas foram todas densas, com volume de vazios em torno de 4%, variando-se as distribuições granulométricas, sendo abordadas três granulometrias contínuas (CBUQs) e duas descontínuas (SMAs). A determinação da DMT foi realizada através da ponderação das densidades reais dos materiais constituintes, e através da aplicação de vácuo. O envelhecimento de curto prazo foi considerado apenas na dosagem Superpave, onde foi adotado um tempo de 2h das misturas em estufa na temperatura de compactação. Os resultados dos teores de projeto obtidos apontaram para um maior teor quando adotada a metodologia Superpave. A caracterização mecânica das misturas foi realizada através dosensaios de resistência à tração estática por compressão diametral (RT), módulo de resiliência (MR), vida de fadiga por compressão diametral a tensão controlada e resistência à tração retida por umidade induzida (RRT) e deformação permanente.

It is common practice to assume full blending of the aged binder of reclaimed asphalt (RA) within the design of new asphalt mixtures.

Hence, going towards recycled asphalt mixtures (RAM) there is a need to have a better understanding of the blending phenomena, to have a general agreement on terminology and finally adapting RA classification and mix design procedures accordingly. This manuscript aims at being both a reference and stimulus for the scientific community to work in this direction and on this basis provides a nomenclature and a theoretical framework of the blending phenomena. The study is built upon a literature review on definitions, methods and influencing factors related with the blending phenomena and as a result, an intrinsic property of RA, the Degree of binder Activity (DoA), is introduced for the sake of improving RA classification. Furthermore, the two well-known concepts of the Degree of Blending (DoB) and the Degree of binder Availability (DoAv) are redefined, within the proposed framework, together with practical suggestions to introduce them in mix design procedures.

Entretanto o ensaio envolve equipamentos pesados que dificultam a locomoção e instalação, tornando-o oneroso. O Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) é um ensaio não destrutivo realizado “in situ” que fornece o módulo de deformabilidade dinâmico do solo. A sua utilização na avaliação de camadas de pavimentos tem sido impulsionada devido à simplicidade de execução e portabilidade do equipamento. Portanto, este trabalho objetiva comparar os resultados de índice de CBR e módulo de deformabilidade, ambos obtidos in situ, por meio de análise de regressão, com o intuito de avaliar a utilização de um equipamento simplificado e de baixo custo de realização de ensaio na determinação da capacidade estrutural das camadas de subleitos. A fase experimental desta pesquisa consistiu inicialmente na escolha de ruas não pavimentadas que estivessem distribuídas na cidade de Campina Grande, em seguida foram realizados “in situ” os ensaios de LWD, CBR, peso específico aparente e coleta de amostras para a realização em laboratório dos ensaios de caracterização, compactação e CBR. Posteriormente as análises de regressão foram realizas a fim de obter uma Equação que correlacionasse o valor do módulo de deformabilidade com o valor do índice de CBR “in situ”. De modo geral, a pesquisa mostrou que há uma tendência de comportamento semelhante entre os parâmetros de deformabilidade e capacidade de suporte obtido a partir dos LWD e CBR “in situ”, e uma correlação pôde ser estabelecida para que se pudesse prever o valor da capacidade de suporte de camadas do subleito “in situ” a partir da realização do ensaio LWD de forma confiável, facilitando assim a obtenção deste parâmetro geotécnico a partir de um ensaio de fácil execução, mais rápido e menos dispendioso. The CBR "in situ" test determinates the bearing capacity of the pavement layers and it’s performed on the field, which results that are more representative than those obtained in the laboratory because the samples are tested under real conditions of moisture and containment. However, this assay involves heavy equipments which make the process is harder in terms of locomotion and installation and consequently making him more expensive. The development of new methodologies of pavement sizing (empirical-mechanistic models) makes it necessary to evaluate the characteristics of the materials that constitute the pavement, from an investigation that can predict the behavior of these materials whereas the tension-deformation stage, caused by the passage of vehicles. The Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) it’s a non destructive test conducted “in situ” that provides the dynamic soil deformability modulus. The use of this module in the assessment of pavement layers has been stimulated due to the simplicity of the execution and the portability of the equipment. Therefore, this work aims to compare the index results of CBR and deformability module, both obtained “in situ”, through regression analysis, in order to rate the use of a cheaper and simplified equipment to perform a test in the determination of the structural capacity of the subgrade layers. The experimental stage of this research is based on: the choice of the unpaved streets along the city of Campina Grande; the perform “in situ” of the LWD test, CBR “in situ” and the Apparent specific mass “in situ”; sample collections; were carried out in situ. Description of soils in laboratory and analysis of correlations. Altogether, the research shows that there is a trend of similar behavior between parameters of deformability and support capacity obtained from LWD and CBR “in situ”, respectively, and a correlation could be established so that we can predict the value of the layers support capacity of subgrade “in situ” from the performance of the LWD assay in a reliable way, thus facilitating the achievement of this geotechnical parameter from an easy-to-execute, faster and less expensive test.
