There is a growing concern with the environmental damage caused by the various types of industrial activities. Because of that, research in paving has sought alternatives to reduce fuel consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases generated by those. The warm mixtures have received increasing attention because they are capable of decreasing the mixture and compaction temperatures of asphalt mixtures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the incorporation of CCBit from the mechanical characterization of asphalt mixtures. From the results, it was found that the incorporation of CCBit has the advantage of reducing mixing and compaction temperatures without harming their mechanical behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
