Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology has the capability of lowering the temperature at which the asphalt is mixed and compacted by 30°C or more without compromising the performance of asphalt pavement. The reduced difference between asphalt mix and ambient temperature results in a lower cooling rate thus allows for long haul, sufficient compaction time and late season projects compared to the conventional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). In northern climate, asphalt paving season is relatively short and paving is often done late in the season when weather conditions are less than ideal. The potential benefit of WMA, among others, is an extended paving season for the City of Winnipeg. Reduction in production temperature also comes with other positive impacts both economically and environmentally. The objective of this study is to evaluate the installation of WMA, compile experiences with this technology and evaluate their effects on construction methods and performance. The study further attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of the WMA chemical additives and its dosage rate as liquid anti-strip agents on the properties of WMA mixtures through field and laboratory testing programs. In addition to the overall effectiveness of WMA, the study aimed to evaluate its economic cost relative to Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). A chemical additive was used at three different dosages (0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 percent by weight of asphalt cement). The additive has the ability to improve mixing, aggregate coating, workability, compaction and adhesion with no change in materials or job mix formula required. The study showed that WMA could be successfully placed using conventional HMA paving practices and procedures. Among the different additive dosages used, 0.5% had a better overall performance. The moisture sensitivity tests indicated the highest Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) at this dosage, suggesting the lowest moisture damage susceptibility. All four mixtures had low rutting resistance potential with no significant difference among them. The WMA showed a higher cracking resistance compared to HMA. The WMA price was between 2% to 11% higher than conventional HMA including the costs of additional testing as well as the WMA additives.

It is critical that all asphalt pavement construction and maintenance activities systematically involve cost-effective, technically advanced materials and practices to preserve the ever-challenged pavement investment. A key step in keeping the Metro Toronto pavement infrastructure 'healthy' is a user-friendly pavement management system used to identify and piroritize rehabilitation and reconstruction requirements. REgular review of pavement condition has resulted in advances in materials (high stability hot-mix asphalts for rutting resistance), construction practices (unshrinkable fill for utility cuts), recycling (crushed concrete for granular material) and specification. It is very important to have a comprehensive hot-mix asphalt specification that is clearly understood, throughparticipation by agency, consultants and contractors alike, to ensure 'smooth' projects and pavements. An integrated approach to pavement rehabilitation from subgrade drainage considerations right through to required surface course functional properties is required. In addition to current practices, apparent problems such as the poor fatigue resistance and durability of rather harsh high stability mixes are discussed along with future materials selection such as micro-surfacing and stone mastic asphalt. For the covering abstract of this conference, see IRRD number 863140.

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 691: Mix Design Practices for Warm-Mix Asphalt explores a mix design method tailored to the unique material properties of warm mix asphalt technologies. Warm mix asphalt (WMA) refers to asphalt concrete mixtures that are produced at temperatures approximately 50°F (28°C) or more cooler than typically used in the production of hot mix asphalt (HMA). The goal of WMA is to produce mixtures with similar strength, durability, and performance characteristics as HMA using substantially reduced production temperatures. There are important environmental and health benefits associated with reduced production temperatures including lower greenhouse gas emissions, lower fuel consumption, and reduced exposure of workers to asphalt fumes. Lower production temperatures can also potentially improve pavement performance by reducing binder aging, providing added time for mixture compaction, and allowing improved compaction during cold weather paving. Appendices to NCHRP Report 691 include the following. Appendices A, B, and D are included in the printed and PDF version of the report. Appendices C and E are available only online.

Sustainability is a cornerstone of today0́9s engineering world. Warm mix asphalt (WMA) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) are the most prominent sustainable materials in asphalt concrete pavements. WMA is a not a new concept, however new innovations and increased usage of WMA has been spurred by the increased focus on sustainable infrastructure systems. WMA enables reduced production temperatures through the use of wax, water, or other chemical packages. The effects of reduced production temperatures include fuel use and emissions reductions, improved compaction, and possible RAP concentration increases. RAP is the primary recycled product of the aged asphalt concrete pavements and its use leads to reductions in virgin aggregate and asphalt demand. However, significant performance issues can stem from the individual integration of WMA or RAP materials in asphalt concrete. In particular, WMA technologies can increase moisture and rutting susceptibility while RAP significantly increases the stiffness of the resulting mixture. Consequently, quality performance of sustainable asphalt pavements may require the combined use of WMA and RAP to produce mixtures with sufficient stiffness and moisture and fracture resistance. This study evaluates the potential of WMA technologies and their integration with RAP. Initially, an extensive literature review was completed to understand the advantages, disadvantages, and past field and lab performance of WMA and RAP mixtures. Rotational viscometer and bending beam rheometer tests were then used to evaluate Sasobit, Evotherm M1, and Advera WMA modified and unmodified binders. Finally, virgin and 45% RAP mixtures were designed and tested to examine the rutting, moisture, and fracture resistance of WMA and HMA mixtures. The results of this experiment provided several key observations. First, viscosity reductions may not be the primary cause for the availability of reduced production temperatures for WMA technologies. Second, WMA additive properties have a significant effect upon fracture, moisture, and rutting resistance. Furthermore, the addition of RAP to WMA mixtures improved the rutting and moisture sensitivity performance as characterized in the Hamburg and Tensile Strength Ratio testing procedures.

Warm mix asphalt (WMA) technology provides sufficient workability for asphalt mixtures at reduced mixing and compaction temperatures. Depending on the WMA technology, the typical temperature reduction range is 20 °C to 55 °C below hot mix asphalt (HMA) production temperatures. WMA involves chemical and wax additives that are added to an asphalt binder or incorporated through the use of foaming technology. The main advantages of WMA are reduced emissions and a reduction in combustible fuel consumption. Ongoing WMA research projects have documented some differences between HMA and WMA mixes, prompting numerous research projects that are investigating these concerns. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the volumetric properties by directly comparing laboratory produced WMA and HMA mixes. This study investigates the impact of WMA additives on the volumetric properties, specifically, the theoretical maximum specific gravity (Gmm). The Gmm testing followed the procedure of ASTM D2041. Two mix designs with HMA binder were produced, one without recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and the other with 30 % RAP. After the mix designs were completed, no additional changes were made to account for the addition of the WMA technology. The mixes included the WMA technologies Sasobit and Advera, as well as an HMA control, for a total of six different laboratory produced mixes. Each mix was produced at 120 °C, 135 °C, and 150 °C, and each mix was oven cured for 1, 2, and 4 h. The test results were analyzed using statistical principles to determine whether differences in the Gmm values were statistically significant. The results show that temperature has little impact on Gmm. Gmm was not affected by curing times of 1 and 2 h, but the longer curing time of 4 h resulted in a statistically significant increase in Gmm. Further analysis revealed that the mix sensitivity to curing time depends on the amount of RAP in the mix. For the mix designs studied, the Advera Gmm values were similar to the HMA values, but the Sasobit Gmm values were statistically lower than the Advera values.
