An advanced methodology for the mix design optimization of hot mix asphalt

André-Gilles Dumont, Sara Bressi, Manfred Partl

The bitumen quantity to add to asphalt mixtures depends on the surfaces of aggregates and filler to be coated. The formulas currently available in the literature have limitations such as considering all the fillers with the same specific surface or the agg ...

A new laboratory methodology for optimization of mixture design of asphalt concrete containing reclaimed asphalt pavement material

André-Gilles Dumont, Sara Bressi, Manfred Partl

The reduction of virgin bitumen added to asphalt mixtures containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is based on the typical assumption that all the aged binder function in the same way as the virgin binder. However, recent studies conducted by the author ...

Multiscale imaging and characterization of the effect of mixing temperature on asphalt concrete containing recycled components

Sara Bressi, Manfred Partl

When producing asphalt concrete mixture with high amounts of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), the mixing temperature plays a significant role in the resulting spatial distribution of the components as well as on the quality of the resulting mixture, in te ...

Particle clustering phenomena in hot asphalt mixtures with high content of reclaimed asphalt pavements

André-Gilles Dumont, Sara Bressi, Manfred Partl

One challenge in efficient recycling of asphalt concrete is the adherence of the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) particles or clustering that inhibits fulfilling the aggregate gradation requirements. In order to investigate this phenomenon two types of mi ...

Decision aid model for asphalt mixture choice

André-Gilles Dumont, Nicolas Bueche

Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) represents widely used alternative to hot mix asphalt (HMA), this in order to decrease the energy consumption and environmental load. Numerous WMA products can be found and the choice of the most favourable mixture is not necessarily ...

Asphalt mixture choice: a decision-aid model

Nicolas Bueche

Due to the continuous development of warm mix asphalts (WMA) as alternatives to hot mix asphalts (HMA), the choice of the most favourable mixture for a given project is not necessarily straightforward. When considering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and en ...
