Definitions
- the technical field generally relates to foamed asphalt compositions, recycled asphalt composition including the foamed asphalt compositions, asphalt pavement including the foamed asphalt compositions, and methods of forming asphalt pavement using the foamed asphalt compositions. More particularly, the technical field relates to foamed asphalt compositions that provide asphalt pavement with excellent anti-deformation performance and methods of forming asphalt pavement using the foamed asphalt compositions.
- Asphalt compositions are commonly employed as paving materials for road construction and maintenance.
- asphalt often referred to as “asphalt binder” or “asphalt cement”
- asphalt is mixed with aggregate to form material used in asphalt paving. Processing and use of this material by paving crews yields asphalt pavement.
- Asphalt pavement conventionally includes a layer of aggregate held within a continuous phase of the asphalt by adherence of the asphalt to the aggregate.
- Asphalt pavement formed in accordance with road maintenance or replacement often includes a recycled asphalt layer as a base layer that is disposed underneath a conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA) layer.
- Cold recycling techniques including cold-in-place and cold-in-plant techniques, are commonly employed to form the recycled asphalt layer whereby recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is pulverized and reconstituted with a foamed asphalt composition, amongst other optional components such as active filler (e.g., cement, lime, and the like) and fresh aggregate.
- RAP recycled asphalt pavement
- the foamed asphalt composition enables generally homogenous mixing and binding of the RAP and other optional components at ambient processing temperatures of from about 10° C. to about 50° C. Processing at such relatively low temperatures, hereinafter deemed “low-temperature” or “cold” processing, enables energy consumption and hazard emissions to be minimized and also enables more RAP to be used instead of fresh aggregate while still achieving target physical performance.
- foamed asphalt compositions that are employed to form the recycled asphalt layer consist of water and asphalt. It has generally been accepted that no further modifiers, e.g., elastomeric additives, can be included in the foamed asphalt compositions because such additives inhibit effective foaming.
- recycled asphalt layers formed using conventional foamed asphalt compositions generally exhibit poor permanent deformation resistance, resulting in rut formation over time in the asphalt pavement especially for asphalt pavement that is subject to heavy traffic loads and channelized traffic.
- thickness of the HMA layer is generally adjusted to meet anti-rutting performance targets with HMA layer thicknesses in excess of 8 cm typical for purposes of achieving anti-rutting performance of at least 5000 cycles/mm as measured in accordance with T0719-2011 of the Industry Standard JTG E20-2011 Specification and Test Methods of Bitumen and Bituminous Mixture for Highway Engineering, China.
- a foamed asphalt composition includes a base asphalt component and oxidized high density polyethylene.
- the foamed asphalt composition is in a cellular matrix form.
- an asphalt pavement in another embodiment, includes a recycled asphalt layer.
- the recycled asphalt layer includes a foamed asphalt composition and a recycled asphalt component.
- the foamed asphalt composition includes a base asphalt component and oxidized high density polyethylene.
- a method of forming asphalt pavement includes combining a base asphalt component and an oxidized high density polyethylene to form an asphalt mixture.
- the asphalt mixture, water, and compressed air are foamed to form a foamed asphalt composition.
- the foamed asphalt composition and a recycled asphalt component are combined to form a recycled asphalt composition.
- a recycled asphalt layer is formed with the recycled asphalt composition.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of asphalt foaming equipment and a process of forming a foamed asphalt composition in accordance with an embodiment
- FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional side view of asphalt pavement in accordance with an embodiment
- FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing of repaving equipment and process of forming asphalt pavement employing a cold-in-place technique in accordance with an embodiment.
- Foamed asphalt compositions, recycled asphalt compositions, asphalt pavement, and methods of forming asphalt pavement using the foamed asphalt compositions are provided herein that provide maximized anti-rutting performance.
- the foamed asphalt compositions include oxidized high density polyethylene (OxHDPE), in addition to a base asphalt component, with the OxHDPE providing maximized anti-rutting performance to recycled asphalt layers that are formed using the foamed asphalt compositions and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP).
- Foamed asphalt compositions, as referred to herein, are in cellular matrix form and may be formed by foaming an asphalt mixture of the base asphalt component and OxHDPE using compressed air, water, and a foam nozzle.
- RAP is pulverized asphalt pavement obtained from an existing structure (e.g., an existing road, parking lot, etc.) that is being repaired, replaced, or removed.
- an existing structure e.g., an existing road, parking lot, etc.
- HMA hot mix asphalt
- the maximized anti-rutting performance of the recycled asphalt layers described herein enables target anti-rutting performance to be achieved with thinner HMA layers than have conventionally been necessary to meet the target anti-rutting performance for the asphalt pavement.
- an additional polyethylene different from the oxidized high density polyethylene and chosen from oxidized low density polyethylene (OxLDPE), non-oxidized polyethylene homopolymer, or a combination thereof is also included in the foamed asphalt compositions in addition to the OxHDPE.
- the additional polyethylene unexpectedly provides the recycled asphalt layers with maximized indirect tensile strength and minimizes viscosity of the foamed asphalt composition at 160° C. to enhance surface coating of the RAP, thereby further enhancing the recycled asphalt layers as compared to conventional recycled asphalt layers.
- the foamed asphalt compositions include the base asphalt component and OxHDPE.
- the base asphalt component as referred to herein, is neat asphalt that is free of polymers.
- the neat asphalt is often a byproduct of petroleum refining or post refining operations and includes air-blown asphalt, blended asphalt, cracked or residual asphalt, petroleum asphalt, propane asphalt, straight-run asphalt, thermal asphalt, and the like.
- the base asphalt component is present in the foamed asphalt composition in an amount of from about 88 to about 98 weight %, such as from about 92 to about 98 weight %, based upon a total weight of the foamed asphalt composition on a dry basis.
- the OxHDPE is provided in the foamed asphalt composition to provide maximized anti-rutting performance to the recycled asphalt layer formed using the foamed asphalt composition.
- the OxHDPE as referred to herein, is oxidized polyethylene having a density of from about 0.97 to about 1.01 g/cm 3 .
- the OxHDPE has a number average molecular weight (M n ) of from about 1000 to about 30,000 Daltons, such as from about 1000 to about 10,000 Daltons.
- the OxHDPE may have a degree of oxidation, e.g., carboxyl group content as indicated by acid number, of from about 5 to about 50 (e.g.
- Acid number may be determined by titrating a solution of the OxHDPE with a 0.1 N alcoholic potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution to a visual “pink” end point using phenolphthalein as an indicator in accordance with conventional techniques.
- the OxHDPE has a viscosity of from about 100 to about 20000 cP at 150° C. as measured in accordance with ASTM D4402.
- OxHDPE examples include, but are not limited to, Honeywell Titan® 7456, Honeywell Titan® 7686, Honeywell Titan® 7376, Honeywell Titan® 7608, Honeywell Titan® 7709, and Honeywell Titan® 7410 oxidized high-density polyethylene homopolymers, manufactured by Honeywell International Inc., which is headquartered in Morristown, N.J.
- the foamed asphalt composition further includes an additional polyethylene that is different from the oxidized high density polyethylene.
- the additional polyethylene may be provided in the foamed asphalt composition to adjust physical properties other than anti-rutting of recycled asphalt layers that include the foamed asphalt composition. More specifically, it was found that by including OxHDPE in the foamed asphalt composition, indirect tensile strength (ITS) of the recycled asphalt layers formed using the foamed asphalt composition is reduced as compared to conventional recycled asphalt layers formed using conventional foamed asphalt compositions. However, it was also unexpectedly found that by including the additional polyethylene, ITS performance of at least equal to that of conventional recycled asphalt layers formed using conventional foamed asphalt compositions can be achieved, often with increased ITS performance observed. It is believed that ITS correlates to potential for cracking and field pavement moisture damage.
- the additional polyethylene may be chosen from non-oxidized polyethylene homopolymer, oxidized low density polyethylene (OxLDPE), or a combination thereof.
- the additional polyethylene is OxLDPE and may have a density of from about 0.84 to about 0.95 g/cm 3 .
- the OxLDPE has a number average molecular weight (M n ) of from about 1000 to about 10000 Daltons, such as from about 1000 to about 5000 Daltons.
- the OxLDPE may have a degree of oxidation, e.g., carboxyl group content as indicated by acid number, of from about 5 to about 30 (e.g.
- Acid number may be determined by titrating a solution of the OxLDPE with a 0.1 N alcoholic potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution to a visual “pink” end point using phenolphthalein as an indicator in accordance with conventional techniques.
- the additional polyethylene is the non-oxidized polyethylene homopolymer and may have a density of from about 0.87 to about 0.98 g/cm 3 and a viscosity of from about 10 to about 7000 cP at 140° C. as measured in accordance with ASTM D4402.
- suitable additional polyethylenes include Honeywell Titan® 7183, Honeywell Titan® 7595, and Honeywell Titan® 7984 oxidized low density polyethylene and Honeywell Titan® 7287, Honeywell Titan® 7205, and Honeywell Titan® 7467 non-oxidized polyethylene homopolymer.
- a combined amount of all polymeric species present in the foamed asphalt composition is from about 2 to about 10.5 weight %, such as from about 2 to about 8 weight %, based upon a total weight of the foamed asphalt composition on a dry basis.
- a weight ratio of OxHDPE to additional polyethylene in the foamed asphalt composition is from about 1:3 to about 2:1, such as from about 1:2 to about 2:1 or from about 1:3 to about 1:1.
- the foamed asphalt composition 14 is produced by introducing an asphalt composition 16 including the base asphalt component, the OxHDPE, and optionally the additional polyethylene to the foam nozzle 12 .
- the OxHDPE and optional additional polyethylene are incorporated with the base asphalt component 16 to form the asphalt mixture 16 .
- the asphalt mixture 16 is foamed using water 18 and compressed air 20 to form the foamed asphalt composition 14 in cellular matrix form.
- the asphalt composition 16 is heated to a temperature of from about 150° C. to about 170° C.
- the asphalt composition 16 is mixed with water 18 and compressed air 20 .
- the water 18 is mixed with the asphalt mixture 16 in an amount of from about 2 to about 5 weight %, such as from about 2 to about 4 weight %, based upon a combined total weight of the water and all components present in the asphalt mixture 16 .
- the temperature of the asphalt mixture 16 during foaming is from about 140 to about 180° C., such as from about 155 to about 165° C.
- the asphalt mixture 16 includes the additional polyethylene and the asphalt mixture 16 has a viscosity of at least about 30,000 Pa ⁇ s at a temperature of 60° C. and a viscosity of less than about 150 cP at a temperature of 160° C., wherein viscosity is determined in accordance with ASTM D4402. It has been found that the presence of the additional polyethylene may decrease the viscosity of the asphalt mixture 16 at 160° C. as compared to embodiments in which only the OxHDPE is present to the exclusion of the additional polyethylene. The temperature of 160° C.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/273,742, filed Dec. 31, 2015.
- The technical field generally relates to foamed asphalt compositions, recycled asphalt composition including the foamed asphalt compositions, asphalt pavement including the foamed asphalt compositions, and methods of forming asphalt pavement using the foamed asphalt compositions. More particularly, the technical field relates to foamed asphalt compositions that provide asphalt pavement with excellent anti-deformation performance and methods of forming asphalt pavement using the foamed asphalt compositions.
- Asphalt compositions are commonly employed as paving materials for road construction and maintenance. Typically, asphalt, often referred to as “asphalt binder” or “asphalt cement”, is mixed with aggregate to form material used in asphalt paving. Processing and use of this material by paving crews yields asphalt pavement. Asphalt pavement conventionally includes a layer of aggregate held within a continuous phase of the asphalt by adherence of the asphalt to the aggregate.
- Asphalt pavement formed in accordance with road maintenance or replacement often includes a recycled asphalt layer as a base layer that is disposed underneath a conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA) layer. Cold recycling techniques, including cold-in-place and cold-in-plant techniques, are commonly employed to form the recycled asphalt layer whereby recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is pulverized and reconstituted with a foamed asphalt composition, amongst other optional components such as active filler (e.g., cement, lime, and the like) and fresh aggregate. The foamed asphalt composition enables generally homogenous mixing and binding of the RAP and other optional components at ambient processing temperatures of from about 10° C. to about 50° C. Processing at such relatively low temperatures, hereinafter deemed “low-temperature” or “cold” processing, enables energy consumption and hazard emissions to be minimized and also enables more RAP to be used instead of fresh aggregate while still achieving target physical performance.
- Presently, foamed asphalt compositions that are employed to form the recycled asphalt layer consist of water and asphalt. It has generally been accepted that no further modifiers, e.g., elastomeric additives, can be included in the foamed asphalt compositions because such additives inhibit effective foaming. However, recycled asphalt layers formed using conventional foamed asphalt compositions generally exhibit poor permanent deformation resistance, resulting in rut formation over time in the asphalt pavement especially for asphalt pavement that is subject to heavy traffic loads and channelized traffic. To account for rutting tendencies attributable to the recycled asphalt layers, thickness of the HMA layer is generally adjusted to meet anti-rutting performance targets with HMA layer thicknesses in excess of 8 cm typical for purposes of achieving anti-rutting performance of at least 5000 cycles/mm as measured in accordance with T0719-2011 of the Industry Standard JTG E20-2011 Specification and Test Methods of Bitumen and Bituminous Mixture for Highway Engineering, China.
- Accordingly, it is desirable to provide foamed asphalt compositions, recycled asphalt compositions, asphalt pavement, and methods of forming asphalt pavement using the foamed asphalt compositions with maximized anti-rutting performance. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and this background.
- Foamed asphalt compositions, recycled asphalt compositions, asphalt pavement, and methods of forming asphalt pavement using the foamed asphalt compositions are provided herein. In an embodiment, a foamed asphalt composition includes a base asphalt component and oxidized high density polyethylene. The foamed asphalt composition is in a cellular matrix form.
- In another embodiment, an asphalt pavement includes a recycled asphalt layer. The recycled asphalt layer includes a foamed asphalt composition and a recycled asphalt component. The foamed asphalt composition includes a base asphalt component and oxidized high density polyethylene.
- In another embodiment, a method of forming asphalt pavement includes combining a base asphalt component and an oxidized high density polyethylene to form an asphalt mixture. The asphalt mixture, water, and compressed air are foamed to form a foamed asphalt composition. The foamed asphalt composition and a recycled asphalt component are combined to form a recycled asphalt composition. A recycled asphalt layer is formed with the recycled asphalt composition.
- The various embodiments will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the following drawing figures, wherein like numerals denote like elements, and wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of asphalt foaming equipment and a process of forming a foamed asphalt composition in accordance with an embodiment; -
FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional side view of asphalt pavement in accordance with an embodiment; and -
FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing of repaving equipment and process of forming asphalt pavement employing a cold-in-place technique in accordance with an embodiment. - The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the foamed asphalt compositions, asphalt pavement including the foamed asphalt compositions, and methods of forming asphalt pavement using the foamed asphalt compositions. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background or the following detailed description.
- Foamed asphalt compositions, recycled asphalt compositions, asphalt pavement, and methods of forming asphalt pavement using the foamed asphalt compositions are provided herein that provide maximized anti-rutting performance. In particular, the foamed asphalt compositions include oxidized high density polyethylene (OxHDPE), in addition to a base asphalt component, with the OxHDPE providing maximized anti-rutting performance to recycled asphalt layers that are formed using the foamed asphalt compositions and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). Foamed asphalt compositions, as referred to herein, are in cellular matrix form and may be formed by foaming an asphalt mixture of the base asphalt component and OxHDPE using compressed air, water, and a foam nozzle. RAP, as referred to herein, is pulverized asphalt pavement obtained from an existing structure (e.g., an existing road, parking lot, etc.) that is being repaired, replaced, or removed. When used in asphalt pavement that includes a hot mix asphalt (HMA) layer overlying the recycled asphalt layer, the maximized anti-rutting performance of the recycled asphalt layers described herein enables target anti-rutting performance to be achieved with thinner HMA layers than have conventionally been necessary to meet the target anti-rutting performance for the asphalt pavement. Further, in embodiments, an additional polyethylene different from the oxidized high density polyethylene and chosen from oxidized low density polyethylene (OxLDPE), non-oxidized polyethylene homopolymer, or a combination thereof is also included in the foamed asphalt compositions in addition to the OxHDPE. The additional polyethylene unexpectedly provides the recycled asphalt layers with maximized indirect tensile strength and minimizes viscosity of the foamed asphalt composition at 160° C. to enhance surface coating of the RAP, thereby further enhancing the recycled asphalt layers as compared to conventional recycled asphalt layers.
- As alluded to above, the foamed asphalt compositions include the base asphalt component and OxHDPE. The base asphalt component, as referred to herein, is neat asphalt that is free of polymers. The neat asphalt is often a byproduct of petroleum refining or post refining operations and includes air-blown asphalt, blended asphalt, cracked or residual asphalt, petroleum asphalt, propane asphalt, straight-run asphalt, thermal asphalt, and the like. In embodiments, the base asphalt component is present in the foamed asphalt composition in an amount of from about 88 to about 98 weight %, such as from about 92 to about 98 weight %, based upon a total weight of the foamed asphalt composition on a dry basis.
- The OxHDPE is provided in the foamed asphalt composition to provide maximized anti-rutting performance to the recycled asphalt layer formed using the foamed asphalt composition. In embodiments, the OxHDPE, as referred to herein, is oxidized polyethylene having a density of from about 0.97 to about 1.01 g/cm3. In embodiments, the OxHDPE has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of from about 1000 to about 30,000 Daltons, such as from about 1000 to about 10,000 Daltons. Further, in embodiments, the OxHDPE may have a degree of oxidation, e.g., carboxyl group content as indicated by acid number, of from about 5 to about 50 (e.g. acid value of about 5 to about 50 mg KOH/g), and more preferably of from about 15 to about 40 (e.g. acid value of about 15 to about 40 mg KOH/g). Acid number may be determined by titrating a solution of the OxHDPE with a 0.1 N alcoholic potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution to a visual “pink” end point using phenolphthalein as an indicator in accordance with conventional techniques. In embodiments, the OxHDPE has a viscosity of from about 100 to about 20000 cP at 150° C. as measured in accordance with ASTM D4402. Examples of suitable OxHDPE include, but are not limited to, Honeywell Titan® 7456, Honeywell Titan® 7686, Honeywell Titan® 7376, Honeywell Titan® 7608, Honeywell Titan® 7709, and Honeywell Titan® 7410 oxidized high-density polyethylene homopolymers, manufactured by Honeywell International Inc., which is headquartered in Morristown, N.J.
- In embodiments, the foamed asphalt composition further includes an additional polyethylene that is different from the oxidized high density polyethylene. The additional polyethylene may be provided in the foamed asphalt composition to adjust physical properties other than anti-rutting of recycled asphalt layers that include the foamed asphalt composition. More specifically, it was found that by including OxHDPE in the foamed asphalt composition, indirect tensile strength (ITS) of the recycled asphalt layers formed using the foamed asphalt composition is reduced as compared to conventional recycled asphalt layers formed using conventional foamed asphalt compositions. However, it was also unexpectedly found that by including the additional polyethylene, ITS performance of at least equal to that of conventional recycled asphalt layers formed using conventional foamed asphalt compositions can be achieved, often with increased ITS performance observed. It is believed that ITS correlates to potential for cracking and field pavement moisture damage.
- The additional polyethylene may be chosen from non-oxidized polyethylene homopolymer, oxidized low density polyethylene (OxLDPE), or a combination thereof. In embodiments, the additional polyethylene is OxLDPE and may have a density of from about 0.84 to about 0.95 g/cm3. In embodiments, the OxLDPE has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of from about 1000 to about 10000 Daltons, such as from about 1000 to about 5000 Daltons. Further, in embodiments, the OxLDPE may have a degree of oxidation, e.g., carboxyl group content as indicated by acid number, of from about 5 to about 30 (e.g. acid value of about 5 to about 30 mg KOH/g), and more preferably of from about 10 to about 20 (e.g. acid value of about 10 to about 20 mg KOH/g). Acid number may be determined by titrating a solution of the OxLDPE with a 0.1 N alcoholic potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution to a visual “pink” end point using phenolphthalein as an indicator in accordance with conventional techniques. In other embodiments, the additional polyethylene is the non-oxidized polyethylene homopolymer and may have a density of from about 0.87 to about 0.98 g/cm3 and a viscosity of from about 10 to about 7000 cP at 140° C. as measured in accordance with ASTM D4402. Specific examples of suitable additional polyethylenes include Honeywell Titan® 7183, Honeywell Titan® 7595, and Honeywell Titan® 7984 oxidized low density polyethylene and Honeywell Titan® 7287, Honeywell Titan® 7205, and Honeywell Titan® 7467 non-oxidized polyethylene homopolymer.
- In embodiments, a combined amount of all polymeric species present in the foamed asphalt composition (i.e., a total amount of all OxHDPE and additional polyethylene) is from about 2 to about 10.5 weight %, such as from about 2 to about 8 weight %, based upon a total weight of the foamed asphalt composition on a dry basis. In embodiments, a weight ratio of OxHDPE to additional polyethylene in the foamed asphalt composition is from about 1:3 to about 2:1, such as from about 1:2 to about 2:1 or from about 1:3 to about 1:1.
- In an embodiment and referring to
FIG. 1 , using conventionalasphalt foaming equipment 10 including afoam nozzle 12, the foamedasphalt composition 14 is produced by introducing anasphalt composition 16 including the base asphalt component, the OxHDPE, and optionally the additional polyethylene to thefoam nozzle 12. In the embodiment shown, the OxHDPE and optional additional polyethylene are incorporated with thebase asphalt component 16 to form theasphalt mixture 16. Theasphalt mixture 16 is foamed usingwater 18 andcompressed air 20 to form the foamedasphalt composition 14 in cellular matrix form. In embodiments, theasphalt composition 16 is heated to a temperature of from about 150° C. to about 170° C. and is pumped under pressure, e.g., at a pressure of about 0.3 MPa, to a mixing zone where theasphalt composition 16 is mixed withwater 18 andcompressed air 20. In embodiments, thewater 18 is mixed with theasphalt mixture 16 in an amount of from about 2 to about 5 weight %, such as from about 2 to about 4 weight %, based upon a combined total weight of the water and all components present in theasphalt mixture 16. In embodiments, the temperature of theasphalt mixture 16 during foaming (i.e., at an outlet from the foaming nozzle) is from about 140 to about 180° C., such as from about 155 to about 165° C. - In embodiments, the
asphalt mixture 16 includes the additional polyethylene and theasphalt mixture 16 has a viscosity of at least about 30,000 Pa·s at a temperature of 60° C. and a viscosity of less than about 150 cP at a temperature of 160° C., wherein viscosity is determined in accordance with ASTM D4402. It has been found that the presence of the additional polyethylene may decrease the viscosity of theasphalt mixture 16 at 160° C. as compared to embodiments in which only the OxHDPE is present to the exclusion of the additional polyethylene. The temperature of 160° C. is a typical temperature of thebase asphalt component 16 during foaming, and without being bound by any particular theory, it is believed that the decreased viscosity of theasphalt mixture 16 at that temperature results in more effective foaming and better coating of RAP during formation of therecycled asphalt layer 24, thereby leading to maximized ITS performance Additionally, the OxHDPE maximizes viscosity of theasphalt mixture 16 at a temperature of about 60° C. and, without being bound by any particular theory, it is believed that maximized viscosity of theasphalt mixture 16 at 60° C. leads to maximized anti-rutting performance. As such, it is believed that the presence of both the OxHDPE and the additional polyethylene maximizes anti-rutting and ITS performance of recycled asphalt layers and, in turn,asphalt pavement 22 including the recycled asphalt layers. - In embodiments and referring to
FIG. 2 with continued reference toFIG. 1 , the foamedasphalt composition 14 is employed in recycled asphalt compositions, which is in turn employed inasphalt pavement 22 that includes arecycled asphalt layer 24 and a hot mix asphalt (HMA)layer 26 disposed over therecycled asphalt layer 24. In embodiments, the recycled asphalt composition and therecycled asphalt layer 24 include the foamedasphalt composition 14 and a recycled asphalt component, such as RAP. Additional components may also be included in the recycled asphalt composition such as, but not limited to, active filler and fresh aggregate. Suitable active fillers include, but are not limited to, cement, lime, and the like. “Aggregate” is a collective term for mineral materials, such as, for example, sand, gravel, or crushed stone that are combined with the asphalt binder to form the asphalt paving material. The aggregate may comprise natural aggregate, manufactured aggregate, or a combination thereof. Natural aggregate is typically extracted rock from an open excavation (e.g. a quarry) that is reduced to usable sizes by mechanical crushing. Manufactured aggregate is typically a byproduct of other manufacturing processes such as slag from metallurgical processing (e.g. steel, tin, and copper production). Manufactured aggregate also includes specialty materials that are produced to have a particular physical characteristic not found in natural rock, such as, for example, low density. - In embodiments, the
recycled asphalt layer 24 is formed from the recycled asphalt composition that includes the foamed asphalt composition in an amount of from about 2 to about 5 weight %, such as from about 2 to about 4 weight %, based on the total weight of the recycled asphalt composition. The recycled asphalt component may be present in the recycled asphalt composition in an amount of from about 50 to about 98 weight %, such as from about 70 to about 98 weight %, based on the total weight of the recycled asphalt composition. The optional additional components may be present in the recycled asphalt composition in an amount of from about 0 to about 50 weight %, such as from about 0 to about 30 weight %, based on the total weight of the recycled asphalt composition. - The
HMA layer 26 includes a conventional asphalt mix and is formed in accordance with conventional techniques. For example, the conventional HMA may have 93-96% aggregates and 4%-7% asphalt or theasphalt mixture 16 described above. The mixing temperature may be from about 140 to about 190° C. - As alluded to above, the foamed asphalt composition as described herein provides the
recycled asphalt layer 24 with maximized anti-rutting performance and, in embodiments, also provides maximized ITS performance. For example, in embodiments, therecycled asphalt layer 24 has anti-rutting performance of at least 5000 cycles/mm at a temperature of 60° C. Anti-rutting performance may be measured in accordance with T0719-2011 of the Industry Standard JTG E20-2011 Specification and Test Methods of Bitumen and Bituminous Mixture for Highway Engineering, China using a Wheel Tracking Machine having a wheel with a width of 5 centimeters. A pressure of 0.7 MPa is applied to therecycled asphalt layer 24 specimen having a length of 30 cm and a thickness of 5 cm. The wheel of the Wheel Tracking Machine moves at a speed of 42 passing per minute. The test is carried out for 1 hour and the rutting is observed at a predetermined interval of cycles. Anti-rutting performance is measured in average number of cycles required to create 1 mm depth of rutting in the last 15 minutes. In embodiments, therecycled asphalt layer 24 has an ITS of at least 0.45 MPa as measured in accordance with ASTM D6931-12. - As alluded to above, given the maximized anti-rutting and, optionally, maximized ITS performance of the
recycled asphalt layer 24, it is believed that a thinner HMA layer may be employed while still achieving desired anti-rutting performance and, optionally, desired ITS performance of the asphalt pavement. More specifically, in embodiments, theHMA layer 26 has athickness 28 of from 4 to less than 8 cm, therecycled asphalt layer 24 has athickness 30 of from about 10 to about 18 cm, and therecycled asphalt layer 24 has anti-rutting performance of at least 5000 cycles/mm as measured in accordance with testing procedure as described above. In further embodiments, the additional polyethylene is also present andrecycled asphalt layer 24 has an ITS of at least 0.45 MPa as measured in accordance with ASTM D6931-12. - In embodiments and referring to
FIG. 3 with continued reference toFIGS. 1 and 2 , theasphalt pavement 22 is formed usingconventional repaving equipment 36 by combining the base asphalt component and the oxidized high density polyethylene to form theasphalt mixture 16 and foaming theasphalt mixture 16 usingwater 18 andcompressed air 20 to form the foamedasphalt composition 14 as shown inFIG. 1 and as described above in regards the exemplary method of producing the foamedasphalt composition 14. Referring toFIG. 3 , the foamedasphalt composition 14 and therecycled asphalt component 32 are combined to form therecycled asphalt composition 34. Therecycled asphalt layer 24 is formed with therecycled asphalt composition 34. In embodiments, the steps of combining to form theasphalt mixture 16, foaming, combining to form therecycled asphalt composition 34, and forming therecycled asphalt layer 24 are conducted at ambient temperatures of from about 10° C. to about 50° C., although it is to be appreciated that the internal temperatures of the individual components and compositions may be significantly greater than 50° C.°. In embodiments and although not shown inFIG. 3 , theHMA layer 26 is formed over therecycled asphalt layer 24 through conventional techniques. - Foamed asphalt compositions (FACs) are prepared by heating a base asphalt component to a temperature of about 160° C. (for purposes of Comp. FAC A in TABLE AI), followed by the addition of OxHDPE to form an asphalt mixture (for purposes of FAC A in TABLE AI).
