The work has investigated the actual mechanism of the adhesion between successive asphalt layers, taking into account the macrostructure of the pavement layers, which are made of heterogeneous materials. The interaction between the joined layers was determined by applying a cohesion contact model. The parameters of the model were identified using the results obtained in the course of the actual Leutner tests. The heterogeneity of the structure was mapped based on a digital image of a tomographic cross-section. The separation of the materials included in the individual layers was performed with the use of a script in the MatLab program. Thanks to this, the batch file for the Abaqus program was prepared thoroughly. As a result, it was possible to map as closely as possible the profile of the deformation caused by the loss of the interlayer adhesion. Based on the data analysis, it was found that in the layer of the base course constructed from cold-applied recycled materials, the loss of interlayer adhesion is related to the state of non-linear mastic deformation. As a consequence, it was found that large deformations in the mastic structure would cause losses of aggregate grains in the recycled layer. In addition, a large horizontal displacement within the layer of the base course made of recycled material is one of the likely causes of edge fractures in the road structure.

The research was aimed at assessing the effect of the redispersible polymer powder on the fracture resistance of a subbase made of a mineral–cement mixture with a bitumen emulsion. The test was performed at two temperatures, i.e., 0 °C and 20 °C. The prepared mixtures differed in the content of cement, asphalt emulsion, and polymer modifier. Cement and redispersible polymer powder were dosed in 1.5% steps from 0.5% to 3.5% while the amount of bitumen emulsion ranged from 0.0% to 5.0%. The SCB (semi-circular bending) tests carried out in the laboratory showed the dependence of the influence of the amount of binder and polymer modifier on the fracture resistance of the recycled subbase. Mixes containing a polymer modifier in their composition are characterized by a much higher resistance to cracking than traditional mineral–cement–emulsion mixtures. An example is the doubling of the framework’s fracture toughness (KIC) when the amount of the polymer modifier is increased from 0.5% to 2.0% with a constant cement content of 0.5%. The obtained results (KIC) in this case were 2.90 and 5.81. The key is the right ratio of polymer powder and cement in the base composition.

The process of water-based foaming of bitumen produces binders that can be incorporated in cold recycled asphalt mixes and pavement upper structural layers made of half-warm mix asphalt prepared at 100–130 °C. During the foaming process, cold water and air act on hot bitumen (160–170 °C), which results in the explosive vaporization of water leading to changes in the binder structure. The impact of foaming on the properties of bitumen 70/100 was evaluated by investigating the binder characteristics before and after foaming. Determination of two foaming parameters, maximum expansion and half-life, was followed by measurements of penetration at 25 °C, softening point, Fraass breaking point, and dynamic viscosity at 60, 90, and 135 °C. Rheological and low-temperature tests were also performed before and after foaming bitumen 70/100. The Bending Beam Rheometer method was applied to determine the low temperature stiffness modulus. A DHR-2 rheometer was used to determine the dynamic modulus and phase angle of the tested binder. The Black and master curves before and after foaming were plotted in the 2S2P1D model and the model parameters were analysed. Analysis of the test results confirmed the effects of the foaming process on the basic, low-temperature, and rheological characteristics of the bitumen.

This article is detected to the assessment of durable deformations of recycled mixtures made of foamed bitumen (MCAS) and emulsion (MCE). In the basic part of research and analyses, attention was focused on determining the scale of three-component composition modifying rheological phenomena of recycled mixtures and other selected features considering various methods of bituminous binder proportioning. Cement, hydrated lime, and dusts from cement dust extracting system were included in the composition hydraulic binder. In this paper, the effect of graining of recycled mixture was also taken into account. One of the main scientific aims of the paper was to evaluate the degree of changes in durable deformations described in the power model depending on proportions of elements making three-element hydraulic binder. In effect, it was pointed out that the influence of hydraulic binder differently affected the durable deformation of recycled mixture depending on ways of bitumen binder implementation. There-element binder exerted the highest influence on mechanical properties of mixtures with fine-grained mixtures made according to the MCAS technology. The presence of 4 groups of mixtures with different properties was demonstrated using the classification neuron net. Based on that information, a set of the most recommended solutions from the point of view of time deformation resistance, low sensitiveness to the load level at moderate stiffness was selected. The best representative among them was the arrangement with 20% of hydrated lime, less than 40% of CBPD dusts and 40 ÷ 60% of cement.

The paper investigates the influence of redispersible polymer powder (RPP) on the physical and mechanical properties of a cold-recycled mixture with foamed bitumen (CRM-FB). Four types of RPP with a varied chemical base were used: VA-VeoVA, VA-VeoVa-Ac, EVA and VA/VV/E/Ac. The polymer powder-modified cold recycled mixture with foamed bitumen, (P)CRM-FB, was composed of 45.8% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), 45.8% natural aggregate (VA), 3.0% Portland cement CEM I 42,5R, 3.0% foamed bitumen 50/70 and 3.0% RPP, all dosed by weight. The reference mixture, (R)CRM-FB, served as a reference point for comparison. It was found that RPP improved the workability of the CRM-FB mixture. This results in a reduced number of compaction cycles and lower energy needed to obtain the air void content as in the reference mixture. In addition, the RPP modifier markedly increased the CRM-FB mixture cohesion (ITSDRY) and strength, by approximately 40&ndash, 70%, depending on the RPP used. These findings are particularly important for CRM-FB mixtures designed for road bases. The present investigations confirmed the improvement of the CRM-FB mixture parameters after the modification with RPP, regardless of the powder type used.

Deep cold recycling with foamed bitumen (FB-RCM) is currently one of the most widely used road rehabilitation methods. As the percentage of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in the base mixture may vary with the thickness of recycled bituminous layers, it is vital that the rheological characteristics of the recycled base are evaluated within the linear viscoelastic (LVE) region of response. Calculating complex modulus as a function of loading time and temperature enables the acurate determination of stress and strain distributions for individual conditions. These parameters are of most relevance in the case of a base layer, especially of a recycled base layer, as they provide information needed to determine the limit state in the subgrade and the probability of creep occurring in the recycled base. An increase in the viscous part (E2) of the complex modulus (E∗) is an indication of a possible creep growth. A higher RAP content in the recycled base layer is likely to increase creep in this layer, thereby reducing the load bearing capacity of the entire pavement layer system. The primary aim of this study was to assess the effect of RAP quantity on the change of complex modulus (E∗) of the recycled mineral-cement mixture with foamed bitumen (FB-RCM) in terms of the time of loading and temperature. The rheological characteristics of the FB-RCM mixtures can be used for predicting the load bearing capacity in individual cases, depending on RAP availability. The rheological properties of the FB-RCM mixture were measured within the RAP percentage range 20–80% with a step of 20%. Complex modulus was investigated at five temperatures (−7 °C, 5 °C, 13 °C, 25 °C, and 40 °C) and six loading times (0.1 Hz, 0.3 Hz, 1 Hz, 3 Hz, 10 Hz, and 20 Hz) in the direct tension-compresion test on cylindrical specimens (DTC-CY) according to EN 12697-26. The output variables of the test were the complex modulus (E∗), the phase angle (φ) and complex modulus components (E1) and (E2). Results showed that the complex modulus decreased as the the RAP content increased. Irrespective of the mixture type used and the test conditions, the modulus values were from E∗ = 1497 MPa to E∗ = 13 797 MPa, whereas the phase angle was between 4° and 15°. It was also demonstrated that the highest complex modulus obtained for the mixtures at short loading times did not quarantee the same values at long loading times. But lead to structural deformations due to a rapid decrease in stiffness modulus at high temperatures and exceeded the limit state in the subgrade. The rapid drop in complex modulus value decreases the durability of the entire pavement layer system.

This article presents the results of the viscoelastic properties of the polymer-modified bitumen produced in Warm Mix Asphalt technology. A Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax and a liquid surface-active agent (fatty amine) were used as bitumen viscosity-reducing modifiers. All tested parameters were determined after short-term and long-term ageing. The complex modulus G* and phase angle δ were measured with a cone-plate rheometer. All dynamic tests were performed at 60 °C within the frequency range from 0.005 Hz to 10 Hz. On the basis of the rheological index R determined using the Christensen−Anderson−Marasteanu (CAM) model, it was found that the fatty amine additive slowed down the age-hardening process in the bitumen. In contrast, the synthetic wax increased the stiffness of the bitumen at all levels tested, regardless of the type of ageing simulation process.

The paper presents the results from the fatigue tests of recycled bases containing foamed bitumen and bitumen emulsion. The amount of bitumen used in both cases was 3% and 5%. For the production of the bitumen emulsion and foamed bitumen, 70/100 pen bitumen was used. Portland cement I 32,5R was applied as a binder. The binder comprised 3% of the mineral composition of the recycled base layer. Fatigue tests were performed in compliance with the requirements of enclosure E of PN-EN 12697-24 at a constant normal stress of 250 kPa, 375 kPa and 500 kPa. The results were used to compare the effects of the binder type applied to the recycled base and determine the service life in terms of the stress applied.

The research concerned moisture and frost resistance of asphalt mixes for binder course produced with foamed bitumen with variable amount of synthetic wax was conducted. The wax was added to the bitumen in amounts of 1.0% to 2.5% in relation to the mass of bitumen and four concentrations of the binder were investigated: 4.3%, 4.5%, 4.8% and 5.1%. In total, 16 different bituminous mixtures were prepared and compacted at 95 °C, therefore falling into warm-mix asphalt category. The obtained results were used as a base for a multivariable optimization, i.e. assessing the foamed bitumen and synthetic wax contents that would result in a bituminous mixture resistant to adverse climatic conditions. The optimized variables included: indirect tensile strength retained ITSR, indirect tensile strength at -2 °C in accordance to PANK 4302 and modified AASHTO T283 method.

The article presents the test results of the relaxation modulus of SMA. The samples of SMA mixture were made using polymer modified bitumen PMB 45 / 80-55 (PMB-N) and highly polymer modified bitumen PMB 45 / 80-80 (PMB-HM). Determination of the relaxation modulus were made using DT-CY test (direct tensile test) at 10 °C, 20 °C and 40 °C. To describe the relaxation phenomenon of the bituminous mixture a logit model has been used. The test results indicates that the use of the highly modified bitumen (PMB-HM) caused the increase in the stiffness modulus SMA at high temperature / low frequencies. As a result, the presence of highly polymer modified bitumen will increase the resistance to the permanent deformation of SMA.

The paper presents the influence of ageing on the viscoelastic properties of the polymer modified bitumen (PMB) in WMA technology. The base bitumen was PMB 45/80-65. Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax (SW) and the liquid surface active agent (FA) ware used as a bitumen viscosity-reducing modifiers. All properties of binders have been determined before ageing (NEAT) and after long-term ageing (RTFOT+PAV). The research area includes the study basic properties (softening point and Fraass breaking point) and rheological characteristics (zero shear viscosity ZSV, complex viscosity η0 and rutting factor G*/sinδ). It was found that fatty amine additive works as a ageing inhibitor. The ageing process revealed degradation process in polymer. This phenomenon is more explicit in the bitumen modified with wax than the fatty amine.

Mineral fines are a waste product of aggregate production in quarries and asphalt mixing plants. The incorporation of mineral gabbro dust into foam bitumen causes developing of a mesh reinforcement in the recycled base mixture. This mesh reinforcement, observed in a recycled base structure, induces an increase in stiffness modulus, where its elastic part of complex modulus dominates over the imaginary part. Therefore, it is possible to create a recycled mixture with a lower susceptibility to loading time/temperature. In result, the presence of gabbro dust in recycled mixture limits the magnitude of strains induced by the traffic load. This paper presents the results of the tests carried out on the mineral dusts derived from gabbro rock. Structural and functional properties of the fines were determined to prepare their characteristics. Then, the cold recycled mixtures for the road base were designed with the 5–20% mineral fines content. The mixtures were prepared in cold recycling technology with foamed bitumen. Further tests involved determining mechanical and physical properties of the recycled mixes, including air voids content, Marshall stability, Marshall quotient (stiffness), indirect tensile strength and stiffness modulus at 20°C). The results indicated a positive influence of the gabbro dusts on the investigated parameters. With the use of ANOVA tests, the significance of the influence of the gabbro dust and foamed bitumen on these properties was evaluated. Harrington’s multicriteria method was employed to establish gabbro dust and foamed bitumen amounts, the addition of which would guarantee optimal properties of the recycled base mixture.

Multidimensional analysis was carried out to check the impact of bitumen foaming on its properties. Unmodified bitumen 50/70, bitumen 50/70 modified with 2.5% synthetic wax and control bitumen 70/100 were used in the experiment. The main research goal was to establish whether it is possible to predict the Ageing Index (IS) using a data set consisting of three main subsets containing i) foaming parameters (ERm, HL), ii) selected rheological properties of bitumen (for example ZSV, δ) before and after foaming, and (iii) bitumen chemical changes after foaming determined using FTIR spectroscopy. All bitumen types were foamed at various temperatures (110 °C to 180 °C), air pressures (100 kPa to 700 kPa) and water contents (1% to 5%). Due to large multicollinearity between input variables, the input data set was transformed into a new data set that was reduced using Factor Analysis (FA). The use of the FA method together with the data from the FTIR analysis allowed building a highly effective regression model for predicting the Ageing Index. The Ageing Index model had a matching error of 0.1 and the coefficient of determination > 95%. Analysis results were validated against the bitumen 70/100 results. It should be noted that the input data set presented here can be a good starting point for predicting other rheological characteristics of foamed bitumen.

The research focused on the application of mixed binder system to the hydraulically bound mixes used in road base (HBM). This paper presents the outcome of the tests for the mechanical characteristics of the HBM road base in terms of the binder type used. Seven binders were prepared in a laboratory by blending three primary constituents: Portland cement CEM I 32,5R, fluidised bed combustion fly ash and cement kiln dust (CKD). The proportions were selected according to the experimental design. The percent amount of the binder in the hydraulically bound mixture was 6%. Two types of aggregate were used as the mineral material in the base. The composition of the mixtures was designed based on the Proctor method. The influence of the binders on the properties of the HBM road base was evaluated by determining the compressive strength at 7, 14, 28 and 42 days of curing, frost resistance and water absorption. The test results were used to optimise the binder composition with respect to the road base characteristics and to establish the recommended road binder composition.

The durability of pavement layers depends on the type of bitumen and changes in its material structure during service life. In 1999, while rebuilding and modernizing road infrastructure in Kielce (Poland), a stone mastic asphalt wearing coarse layer with hydrated lime was placed on one of the town’s main streets. Stone mastic asphalt mixture contained 6.2% of D70 bitumen (currently 50/70) and 4% SBS polymer under the trade name Kraton 1101 CM. The hydrated lime was dosed into the stone mastic asphalt mixture to replace 30% of the filler mass. Pavement surface condition after 12 years of service life was very good. In 2011, bitumen samples were extracted from stone mastic asphalt and tested. The tests were performed on the samples that contained fatty amine and hydrated lime as adhesive agents, obtained from stone mastic asphalt wearing course layer in the rut paths and from between the area limited by rut paths. The hydrated lime additive was found to have a positive effect on rheological properties of the recovered bitumen providing resistance to the water and frost.

This article discusses the results of bitumen foam properties optimisation with respect to three factors: air pressure, bitumen temperature and amount of water. The test materials were unmodified bitumen 50/70 and bitumen 50/70 modified with 2.5% synthetic wax. The experiment was designed according to the 3(3&minus, 1) fractional factorial design. The distribution of parameters of bitumen foam were measured with the authors&rsquo, original apparatus using a laser beam. This measurement method increased the accuracy of maximum expansion ratio (ER) and half-life (HL) estimation. Based on HL and ER results, it was found that the foaming process increased bitumen stiffness due to the dynamic ageing of the bitumen. The experimental design allows more effective control over the properties of foamed bitumen with respect to its intended use. The presence of synthetic wax extended the half-life of the bitumen foam.

This paper focuses on evaluation of two laboratory-based methods of compaction of foamed bitumen and bitumen emulsion mixes: impact compaction with a Marshall hammer and static compaction using a hydraulic press. The investigated compaction methods were assessed in terms of their impact on the physical and mechanical properties of produced laboratory specimens, including: air void content, indirect tensile strength before and after conditioning in water (ITSdry, ITSwet), tensile strength ratio (TSR), and indirect tensile stiffness modulus (ITSM) at 0°C, 10°C and 20°C. The statically compacted specimens attained higher levels of mechanical properties and resistance to moisture damage, which was associated with a lower content of air voids in the specimens formed using a hydraulic press. Authors present a calculation showing that a mechanistic design based on the laboratory static press compaction method leads to overestimation of fatigue cracking resistance of the road base.

In this paper the dynamic analysis of rod structures was considered. The influence of axial force on vibration was taken into account. The analysis was carried out in strict and approximate manner. The new qualitative matrix, in which occurs the coupling of the parameters including the conservative axial force uniform along the length of the rod and the parameter describing dynamic properties of the rod was used. Considerations have been carried out taking into account the impact of non-dilatational strain.

This article presents a laboratory evaluation of the viscoelastic properties of recycled base courses produced with different fillers. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of loading time and temperature on the complex modulus (E*) and the phase angle (6) of recycled base courses with respect to selected additives used. The mixtures contained reclaimed asphalt pavement RAP, crushed stone from existing base courses and virgin aggregate. Foamed bitumen 50/70 at 2.5% was used as a binder. The hydraulic binder constituted 3.0% of the recycled base course mixture. Portland cement, hydrated lime and cement kiln dust CKD were added as fillers. Evaluation of rheological properties of recycled base courses according to selected additives was carried out to the procedure set out in EN 12697-26 annex D. The evaluation of stiffness modulus was conducted in the direct tension-compression test on cylindrical samples (DTC-CY). The samples were subjected to the cycles of sinusoidal strain with an amplitude Bo < 25μB. All tests were performed over a range of temperatures (5 oC, 13 oC, 25 oC, 40 oC) and loading times (0.1 Hz, 0.3 Hz, 1 Hz, 3 Hz, 10 Hz, 20 Hz). The results were used to model stiffness modulus master curves of the recycled base courses containing selected additives in the hydraulic binder. DOI: https://doi.org/10.3846/enviro.2017.135

The aim of the study was a comparative feasibility studies of the influence of modern modifiers (Trinidad , Gilsonit , synthetic wax , adhesive agent ) for incorporating them to the bituminous mixture at low temperatures production. The bitumen of penetration grade 35/50 was used as reference binder. The effect of modifiers on bitumen behaviour was assessed by means of followed properties: penetration grade, softening point temperature and the breaking point temperatures. Measurements of the above properties have been carried out before and after simulated aging according to RTFOT. Modifiers were dosed in five variants to bitumen by weight. Modification of bitumen with synthetic wax increased the level of bitumen stiffness while the use of the fatty amine did not invoke significant changes in bitumen properties (regarding neat bitumen). Short-term aging significantly influenced on characteristics of bitumen, as well. The highest bitumen change rate after aging was observed in the case of the use of natural bitumen. It was found that the most preferred modifiers to paving bitumen 35/50 were a synthetic wax and a adhesive agent. It is expected that they allow to ensure the durability of bituminous mixtures produced at reduced temperatures.

This paper presents findings of a study concerning the influence of binder type on the mechanical properties of road base in the cold recycling technology. The principal aim of this investigation was to evaluate the mixes in scope of susceptibility to moisture and low-temperatures. In the comparative research foamed bitumen and bitumen emulsion were used in four different concentrations (2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, 3.5%). The materials used in the study were reclaimed from an existing road construction layers: reclaimed aggregate from the road base and reclaimed asphalt pavement obtained by milling the surface and binder course. Portland cement in 2.0% concentration was used as a hydraulic binder. The evaluated parameters were: indirect tensile strengths, tensile strength retained and indirect tensile stiffness modulus at 25 °C. These tests were complemented by an evaluation of susceptibility to moisture and frost according to modified procedures implemented by American researchers: Tunnicliff, Root and Lottman. Moreover, tests for low-temperature cracking were conducted according to Finnish standard. The investigations showed that the use of foamed bitumen for road base layer produced in the cold recycling technology results in better mechanical properties and resistance to moisture and frost compared to using bitumen emulsion. The use of 2.5% of foamed bitumen and 2.0% of Portland cement in the recycled road base allowed to meet the established criteria.

The subject of research presented in article was an assessment of the impact of inactive mineral filler content, i.e. dolomite dust, on the recycled cold mix properties with foamed bitumen. The analysis of the impact of dolomite mineral dust was made on the basis of the experiment design type 33. It consisted of three levels of foamed bitumen factor in the range from 1.2% to 3.6% with a 1.2% step and the amount of mineral dust factor in range from 5% to 20% with a 7.5% step. Dolomite dust is a waste material derived from aggregate mining. Foamed bitumen was obtained from foaming process of the neat bitumen 50/70 at water temperature of 25ºC and its amount of 2.7%. In order to increase the cohesion of the recycled cold mix with foamed bitumen, Portland cement CEM I 32.5 R in amount of 2.0% was used. The assessment of the impact of quantitative variables was carried out in accordance with the adopted plan of the experiment that assumed the determination of physical and mechanical properties such as: resistance to climatic factors, dynamic modulus (E*) and phase angle. Analysis of the test results shown that factors quantity affects the variability of analysed features. In the entire scope of experiment plan, the obtained free space values met the requirements in required guidelines. The highest sealing of the recycled mixture was observed for the entire dolomite dust dosage but at maximum amount of foamed bitumen amounted to 3.6%. It was also observed that the maximum water resistance (TSR) was obtained for mixtures with a minimum amount of mineral dust (5%) as well as the maximum amount of dust in the recycled cold mix (20%). However, it was depended of the amount of foamed asphalt in a recycled mixture composition. The study also was considered the influence of the amount of dolomite mineral dust on the change in stiffness modulus tested by means of IT-CY and DTC-CY procedure. It was shown that either stiffness modulus measured by IT-CY or DTC-CY are foam bitumen and dust amount dependent. To assess the rheological properties, the direct compression-compression test (DTC-CY) was used. All samples were subjected to a cyclic sinusoidal constant strain with an amplitude of εo

The paper presents results obtained on the basis of tests carried out using the innovative hydraulic binder intended for a recycled base layer with foamed bitumen. The tested hydraulic binder consisted of three components: cement, hydrated lime and fines. The analysis includes: final time of mortar setting, volume change in mortar, compressive strength after 7 and 28 days of curing, bending strength after 7 and 28 days of curing. The analysis relied in identifying optimal compositions of innovative binder components in terms of its suitability for pavement recycled base layer. Optimisations considered obtaining a two variant such as: quick-setting and a normal-setting hydraulic binder. The analysis of test results indicate that there are solutions for binder compositions that meet the requirements for normal-setting of hydraulically bound base layer in recycled technology. In the scope of obtaining a quick-setting binder, at least 80% of cement binder in the innovative hydraulic binder composition is required.

This article presents the results of tests of mastic containing mixed filler (limestone dust/hydrated lime) and Fisher-Tropsch synthetic wax. Synthetic wax content was controlled up to 3% (w/w). The ratio of filler in the bitumen was from 0.5 to 3 (w/w), with hydrated lime content of up to 30% w/w. The rheological properties of different mastic compositions were determined with a rheometer equipped with two parallel plates at 60°C using oscillating load. The primary purpose of the article was to determine the nature of mastic stiffness changes in the context of using hydrated lime and synthetic wax as the filler. Consequently, the article proposes a method for evaluation of the critical value of the filler phase in the phase of bitumen modified with synthetic wax. The proposed model of the mathematical function was used to determine the nature of mastic structuring throughout the range of the experiment. The model was also used to determine the critical concentration of the filler in the bitumen phase. It was demonstrated that below the critical filler concentration the mastic behaved in a significantly different manner from the behaviour observed above this critical concentration. When the critical concentration of the filler was exceeded, it resulted in an excessive increase of mastic stiffness, which was considered in the model.

This article presents research on recycled cold mix with foamed bitumen (MCAS) containing recycled concrete aggregate. The primary concept driving this research was to determine if recycled concrete aggregate (RC) could be used as a substitute for reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). Recycled concrete aggregate was used in the MCAS mix in amounts ranging from 20%, 60% and 80%. The reference mix was the MCAS mix containing 50% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and virgin aggregate. Identical 0/31.5-mm continuously graded dolomite virgin aggregate was used in all mixes. 2.5% foamed bitumen (FB) and 2.0% CEM I 42.5R Portland cement (PC) were used to increase the cohesion of the mineral mix. Foamed bitumen was produced from 50/70 penetration paving bitumen. The behaviour of the recycled base course was tested in the range of cyclic sinusoidal strain with amplitude εo = 25–50 με. The tests were carried out in the (-7°C, 5°C, 13°C, 25°C, 40°C) temperature and (0.1 Hz, 0.3 Hz, 1 Hz, 3 Hz, 10 Hz, 20 Hz) loading time range. The complex modulus was tested in a direct tension-compression test on cylindrical samples (DTC-CY) in accordance with EN 12697-26. The results of the tests were used to assess the complex modulus (E*), phase angle (φ) and complex modulus components (E1) and (E2).Tests of the mixes indicate that recycled concrete aggregate can be used in recycled cold mixes in amounts of up to 80%. Increasing the amount of recycled concrete aggregate does not cause excessive stiffness of the recycled mix in comparison with the reference mix. The tests did not demonstrate a significant difference in terms of the phase angle (φ), which indicates a similar content of the viscous part and elastic part in the obtained complex modulus for the reference mix (RAP + MCAS) and the mix containing recycled concrete aggregate (RC + MCAS).
