Two major effects dominate aging of asphalt-aggregate mixtures: 1. loss of volatile components and oxidation in the construction phase (short-term aging); and 2. progressive oxidation of the in-place mixture in the field (long-term aging). Other factors may contribute to aging. In particular, molecular structuring may occur overOxidative Aging of Asphalt Binders in Hot-Mix Asphalt Mixtures Nathan Morian, Elie Y. Hajj, Charles J. Glover, and Peter E. Sebaaly Transportation Research Record 2011 2207 : …

The standard asphalt mixture laboratory long-term aging procedure is specified in AASHTO R 30 [1], which requires the aging of compacted specimens in …The recent findings of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 09-54 project on long term aging of asphalt mixtures suggests 95 °C as an optimal temperature for aging loose mix considering the relationship between binder rheology and chemistry (Kim et al., 2018). The aging time varies with the geographical location of the ...

2.2 Methods. 2.2.1 Long-term aging of asphalt. In this study, asphalt was subject to Thin Film Oven Test (TFOT) for short-term aging, the test was carried out in accordance with the Standard Test Methods of Bitumen and Bituminous Mixtures for Highway Engineering (JTG E20-2011) (hereinafter referred to as Standard Test Methods). After short-term aging, 50 ± …6. Evaluate the effects of aging on cracking in asphalt pavements and develop a future research plan to implement the long-term aging procedure and associated models in Pavement ME Design. 7. Prepare a proposed AASHTO standard procedure for long-term aging of asphalt mixtures for performance testing and prediction. 8.

In this study, the method of aging asphalt mixture follows the research method of Von Quintus et al . The compacted asphalt specimen was heated in an oven at 135 °C for 8 h to simulate short-term aging. The compacted asphalt samples were heated in an oven at 60 °C for 2 days, and then heated to 110 °C for another 5 days to simulate long-term ...Short- and Longer-Term Effects of Short-Term Aging on Asphalt Mixture Properties ... A series of mixture and extracted binder test results were used to characterize the effects of short-term aging on mixtures for up to 5 years after construction in a hot climate. Whereas other studies have reported data to support concern when mixtures are held ...

Based on these findings, loose mixture aging in the oven at 95°C is proposed as the long-term aging procedure for the fabrication of asphalt mixture performance test specimens. Based on a limited study, the same recommendation is tentatively made for the laboratory long-term aging of WMA mixtures.The method is intended for consideration as a replacement for the method in AASHTO R 30, "Mixture Conditioning of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)," which was the most commonly used …

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Research Report 871: Long-Term Aging of Asphalt Mixtures for Performance Testing and Prediction presents a proposed standard method for long-term laboratory aging of asphalt mixtures for performance testing. The method is intended for consideration as a replacement for the …Beside the environmental effects, ageing in asphalt mixture depends on the physicochemical properties of bitumen and mixture morphology which is a combined effect of aggregate …

The effects of oxidative aging on the dynamic modulus and the fatigue performance of asphalt mixtures is examined. For this purpose, an asphalt mixture is aged in the laboratory at four aging levels. Mechanical tests for the four aged mixtures are performed to characterize the linear viscoelastic and damage properties.Several asphalt mixture laboratory aging procedures have been tried. These procedures can be broadly classified based on (a) state of material during aging (compacted specimen vs. loose mix) and (b) pressure level (oven aging vs. pressurized aging). Thus, the discussion of the laboratory aging of asphalt mixtures will focus on these two factors.

This study investigates the change in the low-temperature performance after aging asphalt mixtures in both indoors (forced-draft oven in the laboratory) and outdoors (open environment on a roof). The BBR thin-beam specimens aged outdoors were tested for up to 5 years. As the BBR test is nondestructive, the same thin-beam mixture specimen can be ...Asphalt binder undergoes long-term oxidative aging during its service life. Oxidative aging increases the asphalt mixture's stiffness and decreases its cracking resistance, which directly impacts the asphalt pavement performance. The effects of oxidative aging have been studied historically through two approaches.

Saleh and Behrooz Keshavarzi and Farhad Yousefi Rad and Douglas M. Mocelin and Michael D. Elwardany and …Asphalt binders experience aging that occurs in two distinct stages under quite different conditions: (1) short-term during construction (plant mixing, storage, placement, and compaction) and (2) long-term during the service life of the pavement. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 967: Asphalt Binder …

The age-induced hardening or aging of asphalt binder is a significant mechanism that affects the viscoelastic properties and concomitant performance of …of mixture morphology on asphalt ageing susceptibilitywas investigated. Procedures to determine the controlling parameter were then developed and an empirical framework to quantify the longterm field ageing of asphalt mixtures - was set-up. For this, a combination of experimental and numerical methods was employed.
