Abstract
Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is a new technology that was introduced in Europe in 1995. WMA offers several advantages over conventional asphalt concrete mixtures. The benefits include: reduced energy consumption, reduced emissions, reduced binder aging, and extended construction season in temperate climates. Three WMA techniques, Aspha-min, Sasobit, and Evotherm, were used to reduce the viscosity of the asphalt binder at certain temperatures and to dry and fully coat the aggregates at a lower production temperature than conventional hot mix asphalt. The reduction in mixing and compaction temperatures of asphalt mixtures leads to a 30 percent reduction in both fuel energy consumption and emissions that may cause health problems. This research assessed the performance of WMA mixes and conventional HMA test sections at the APLF and on an actual road. The research also evaluated the engineering properties of WMA mixes and conventional mixes.
