The Analyze Study of Compacting Temperature and Road Performance of Warm Mix Asphalt Mixture (LEADCAP)

Abstract:

This paper used one kind of organic additive LEADCAP to reduce the compacting temperature of SBS WMA mixture, and compared the WMA mixture compacted by superpave gyratory compactor (SGC) with HMA mixture to determine the compacting temperature of WMA mixture. Rutting test, low temperature bending test, freeze-thaw indirect tension test, Hamburg Wheel-Track test and dynamic modulus were carried out to evaluate the road performance of WMA mixed with LEASCAP. The test result showed that the WMA mixed with LEADCAP had well performed high temperature stability, low temperature stability, water stability, rutting cracking resistance, and high dynamic modulus, the compacting temperature were 127 °C, and affectively reduced the compacting temperature of SBS WMA mixture.
