Abstract

Warm-Mix Asphalt(WMA) mixtures, which meet environmental protection and have high energy efficiency, are emerging as an alternative to hot-mix asphalt mixtures. The objective of this study is to evaluate WMA made with Aspha-min in the laboratory and to compare the design results accomplished by new Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide(MEPDG) with control mixture. An asphalt mixture with a nominal maximum size of 12.5mm and PG64-28 binder was used. Resilient modulus tests for a control mixture and WMA with 0.3% and 0.5% of Aspha-min were conducted. The results obtained by MEPDG after inputting the test output into the design indicated that the predicted rut depth of WMA using Aspha-min was much lower than that of control mixture, and showed that WMA was more resistant to rutting than control mixture.

환경보호에 부응하고 고에너지효율성을 갖춘 중온아스팔트혼합물이 가열아스팔트혼합물의 대안으로 부각되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 아스파민을 혼합하여 제조한 중온아스팔트혼합물을 실험적으로 평가하고, 역학적-경험적 포장설계법인 MEPDG를 이용하여 설계한 결과를 일반아스팔트혼합물 설계와 비교하는 것이다. 실험재료는 최대공칭치수 12.5mm인 골재와 PG64-28바인더가 사용되었으며, 기존 혼합물, 0.3%와 0.5%의 아스파민을 혼합한 중온아스팔트혼합물에 대한 회복탄성계수실험이 실시되었다. 실험결과를 MEPDG 설계의 입력변수로 하여 분석한 결과, 아스파민을 사용한 중온아스팔트혼합물의 소성변형량이 일반혼합물에 비해 훨씬 적어 소성변형에 대한 저항성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.
