State highway agencies are increasingly intersted in using recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in hot mix asphalt (HMA) applications, yet many agencies share common questions about the effect of RAS on the performance of HMA. Previous research has allowed for only limited laboratory testing and field surveys. The complexity of RAS materials and lack of past experiences led to the creation of Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) Program TPF-5(213). The primary goal of this study is to address research needs of state DOT and environmental officials to determine the best practices for the use of recycled asphalt shingles in hot-mix asphalt applications. Agencies participating in the study include Missouri (lead state), California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Federal Highway Administration. The agencies conducted demonstration projects that focused on evaluating different aspects (factors) of RAS that include RAS grind size, RAS percentage, RAS source (post-consumer versus post-manufactured), RAS in combination with warm mix asphalt technology, RAS as a fiber replacement for stone matrix asphalt, and RAS in combination with ground tire rubber. Field mixes from each demonstration project were sampled for conducting the following tests: dynamic modulus, flow number, four-point beam fatigue, semi-circular bending, and binder extraction and recovery with subsequent binder characterization. Pavement condition surveys were then conducted for each project after completion. The demonstration projects showed that pavements using RAS alone or in combination with other cost saving technologies (e.g., WMA, RAP, GTR, SMA) can be successfully produced and meet state agency quality assurance requirements. The RAS mixes have very promising prospects since laboratory test results indicate good rutting and fatigue cracking resistance with low temperature cracking resistance similar to the mixes without RAS. The pavement condition of the mixes in the field after two years corroborated the laboratory test results. No signs of rutting, wheel path fatigue cracking, or thermal cracking were exhibited in the pavements. However, transverse reflective cracking from the underlying jointed concrete pavement was measured in the Missouri, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, and Minnesota projects.

The current tendency in paving industry is to increase the use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingle (RAS). However, one of the reasons that limit the high recycled amount is the unknown blending between virgin and RAP/RAS binders. A series of studies were conducted in this dissertation to address blending issues in warm mix asphalt (WMA) and hot mix asphalt (HMA) containing RAP and RAS, in terms of evaluation of recycled binder mobilization, binder homogeneity and WMA effects on blending. Partial blending was observed in RAS mixtures and the most efficient blending occurred at approximately 5% RAS by weight. Increasing time led to a better RAS binder mobilization, while aggregate size and temperature in a certain range showed limited effects. A new parameter derived from gel permeation chromatography (GPC), large molecular size percentage [LMS(%)] related to binder molecular weight distribution, was developed to differentiate virgin and RAP/RAS binders as well as their blends, based on which a method was developed to quantify the recycled binder mobilization rate. A two-layer model based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) scanning was developed to evaluate RAS and virgin binder blending. The two binders were found to be “mixing” but not “blending” in a mixing zone of 25 to 30 micrometer. Staged extraction method used to evaluate asphalt binder homogeneity was validated with trichloroethylene (TCE) as the most effective solvent. A non-equal-time staged extraction method was proposed, in conjunction with LMS(%), to quantify binder homogenization after mechanical mixing and diffusion. Different blending scenarios of RAP/RAS mixes were proposed and validated. It was found that diffusion could be accomplished within mixture storage time for both WMA and HMA containing RAP, while blending in RAS mix was limited. WMA additives yielded mixes with higher blending ratios than control mix produced at 135oC, but lower than hot mix produced at 165oC. Laboratory foaming yielded a higher blending ratio, indicating foamed WMA may improve blending. Rutting might still be a concern for WMA-high RAP mixtures while fatigue concern may not exist. WMA-high RAP mixtures showed satisfactory moisture resistance. Blending effects on performance still needs further investigation.

Today, a large quantity of waste is generated from the replacement of residential and commercial roofs. Many of the roofs being upgraded with previously constructed from asphalt shingles. Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) contain nearly 30% of asphalt cement by mass, which can be a useful additive to asphalt pavements. In addition, shingles can offer significant potential savings through recycling and recovery as a construction material in flexible pavement. Currently, one and a half million tons of roofing shingle waste is generated each year in Canada related to the replacement of residential and commercial roofs and 90% of this valuable material is sent to landfills. If engineered properly, the addition of RAS into Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) can provide significant benefits. The University of Waterloo's Centre for Pavement and Transportation Technology (CPATT) is committed to working with public and private sector partners to develop sustainable technologies for the pavement industry. Using RAS in HMA can lead to economical, environmental and social benefits. Examples of which are reduced waste going to landfills and a reduction in the quantity of virgin material required. This research has involved the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) and Miller Paving Limited. It was conducted to evaluate the performance of HMA containing RAS in both field and laboratory tests.

This study proposed a series of methods to investigate the blending and diffusion process of recycled asphalt mixtures using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), fluorescence microscopy and molecular dynamic simulation. A new approach to recycling asphalt shingles in which RAS binder was extracted by a mixed solvent with certain polarity and used as common asphalt binder was also developed. A new parameter, mean grey value (MGV), was derived from the fluorescence image and used to differentiate between recycled and virgin binders as well as their blends. The mobilization rate of plant-produced RAP mixtures was calculated on the basis of surface area proportion of aggregates with different size. Three types of asphalt mixtures, including one warm mix with foaming technology, two hot mixes with or without rejuvenator, were used to validate the proposed method. Two asphaltic models with three components including asphaltenes, resin, and oil were built with different components ratio to investigate the diffusion between virgin and aged binders. In an inter-diffusion model of virgin and aged binders, the diffusion coefficients of binders were not only determined by the diffusion ability itself, but also influenced by the properties of the diffusion acceptor. A new method was proposed to utilize fluorescence microscopy to determine the diffusion coefficient of aged RAP binder in recycled mixtures. The diffusion coefficient was determined by fitting the analytical solution to the laboratory concentration measurements. Comparison of the diffusion coefficient by the proposed method and that using the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) method shows that the diffusion coefficient determined by fluorescence microscopy was of the same magnitude to, but slightly lower than that by DSR method. The RAS binder was extracted by a mixed solvent with certain polarity and used as common asphalt binder. The use of the mixed solvent of heptane and TCE with a certain proportion through the proposed method could prepare asphalt binder with desired properties. Results indicate that soft asphalt could not dissolve RAS binder at 170 °C. The binder blend of RAS binder and rejuvenator had a potential antiaging problem because an obvious loss of rejuvenator existed during the aging process.

This thesis documents the evaluation of the initial performance of pavement containing recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in Oregon. The research was funded by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Federal Highway Administration and was conducted at Oregon State University. The key objectives of this thesis are to document the state-of-the-practice for implementation of recycled asphalt shingles in hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures, and to evaluate the initial field and laboratory performance of mixtures containing RAS. Recent oil price increases, coupled with environmental impacts has encouraged industry to use materials containing asphalt binder, such as asphalt shingles as a partial replacement of virgin materials in the construction of bituminous pavement. Residential home reroofing projects generate RAS as does the asphalt shingle manufacturing industry as a waste product at a rate of approximately 11 million tons per year nationwide. Disposal of these materials ordinarily involves discarding the materials in landfills. However, since these shingles contain asphalt binder, many states and asphalt pavement contractors have made efforts to incorporate these materials into asphalt pavements. Asphalt shingles are produced with asphalt binders that have substantially higher stiffness than paving grade asphalt binders. With increased stiffness comes increased brittleness. Consequently, incorporating RAS into hot mix asphalt may expose the pavement to an increased likelihood of low temperature cracking and fatigue cracking unless modifications are made to the mixtures to compensate for increased stiffness due to the RAS binder. House Bill 2733, proposed before the Oregon Legislative Assembly in 2009, would have required ODOT to use up to 5% RAS in HMA. However, inclusion of RAS in HMA raised concerns within the agency with regard to the potential for reduction in pavement performance ultimately leading to increased costs due to early failures. Consequently, considering these concerns the legislation on this bill was postponed pending completion of research to investigate the performance of pavement containing RAS in Oregon pavements. As a result, ODOT sponsored preliminary research on use of RAS in HMA in 2009 and subsequently through the research project described herein. The research work described herein was separated into three distinct but interconnected tasks. The first involved conducting a detailed literature review to gain an understanding of the state-of-the-practice for successful implementation of RAS in pavements. Emphasis during this effort was placed on selection of the virgin binder grade to offset the effects of increased stiffness due to incorporation of RAS binder, batching and mixing procedures for inclusion of RAS in HMA mixtures, ignition oven calibration factors for mixtures containing RAS, and quality control/quality assurance procedures for pavements built with RAS mixtures. There exists a substantial body of literature covering use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) as a partial replacement of virgin materials in HMA pavements. Due to many similarities of RAP and RAS, many of the documents reviewed covered only RAP, but with the aim of extending the technologies used for RAP mixtures to those containing RAS or RAS and RAP. The second task involved conducting laboratory investigations to verify the practicality and effectiveness of procedures found in the literature for batching and mixing materials containing RAS and/or RAP and RAS. Finally, the third task involved investigations of performance of two pavements containing RAP and RAS constructed as pilot projects. The investigations involved an assessment of field performance and laboratory tests on samples obtained from the two pavements. For comparison purposes, the same investigations were performed on pavements and samples from pavements that contained RAP but no RAS. These were constructed adjacent to, and at the same time as, the pavements with RAP and RAS. Based on the findings from the literature review, this thesis contains recommendations for: 1) selection of a virgin binder grade when RAP and/or RAS is used in an HMA mixture; 2) a procedure for effectively and efficiently extracting and recovering asphalt binder from RAS; 3) batching and mixing procedures for manufacturing laboratory test specimens containing RAS; 4) a method for determining ignition over calibration factors for mixtures containing RAS; and 5) quality control/quality assurance procedures for pavements built with RAS mixtures. The recommended batching and mixing procedure was verified through laboratory investigations while ongoing research is in the process of verifying the remaining procedures. Laboratory investigations involving dynamic modulus testing and comparative analyses of RAP-only mixtures (control mixtures) versus RAP and RAS mixtures indicated a trend of reduced dynamic modulus due to the addition of RAS in the mixture on both pilot projects. However, when the mixtures were compared at a 95 percent confidence level, a significant difference was found for only one of the two projects. This reduction in dynamic modulus was likely due to the softening of blended binder and the increased air voids in the mixtures containing RAS. In addition, fatigue testing and comparative analyses using phenomenological and dissipated energy approaches indicated that there was no significant difference in fatigue resistance of the RAP-only mixture versus the RAP and RAS mixture at a 95 percent confidence level. Assessment of field performance through visual inspections of the pavements built with mixtures containing RAS revealed no low temperature cracking following the first winter season in service. Nor did the inspections reveal any fatigue cracking. Although these inspections occurred within 8 months of construction of the pavements, the findings provide encouraging early-life performance of the mixtures.

Phase II of this study further evaluated the performance of plant-produced warm-mix asphalt (WMA) mixes by conducting additional mixture performance tests at a broader range of temperatures, adding additional pavements to the study, comparing virgin and recovered binder properties, performing pavement condition surveys, and comparing survey data with the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) forecast for pavement damage over 20 years of service life. Further objectives detailing curing behavior, quality assurance testing, and hybrid technologies were as follows: * Compare the predicted and observed field performance of existing WMA trials produced in the previous Phase I study to that of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) control sections to determine if Phase I conclusions are translating to the field; * Identify any curing effect (and timing of the effect) of WMA mixtures and binders in the field; * Determine how the field-compacted mixture properties and recovered binder properties of WMA compare to those of HMA over time for technologies common to Iowa; * Identify the protocols for WMA sample preparation for volumetric and performance testing that best simulate field conditions. The findings of this study indicate that WMA additives do show statistical differences in mixture properties in some of the mixes tested. These differences will not always be statistically different from mixture to mixture. Multiple factors, such as WMA additive type, amount of recycled asphalt material, construction conditions, and mixture variability all play a role in determining the extent of which WMA and HMA mixes differ. Other significant findings of this study include effects of curing, aging in recovered binders from HMA and WMA cores, and the influence of recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) used with WMA. These findings will be of interest to owner agencies and contractors utilizing WMA technologies.
