  • Dynamic Stiffness of Bituminous Mixtures for the Wearing Course of the Road Pavement—A Proposed Method of Measurement

    Dynamic Stiffness of Bituminous Mixtures for the Wearing Course of the Road Pavement—A Proposed Method of Measurement

    materials Article Dynamic Stiffness of Bituminous Mixtures for the Wearing Course of the Road Pavement—A Proposed Method of Measurement Krzysztof Robert Czech 1,* and Wladyslaw Gardziejczyk 2 1 Department of Geotechnics and Structural Mechanics, Bialystok University of Technology, 15-351 Bialystok, Poland 2 Department of Construction and Road Engineering, Bialystok University of Technology, 15-351 Bialystok, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 26 March 2020; Accepted: 20 April 2020; Published: 23 April 2020 Abstract: Stiffness is an important mechanical characteristic of asphalt mixtures used in the wearing course. It is one of the determining factors in the generation of tyre/road noise. The dynamic stiffness of the upper layer of the road surface depends on the physical and mechanical properties of the materials it is composed of, and traffic load. Determination of dynamic stiffness, both in laboratory conditions and in situ, requires consideration of many other factors. Tests of dynamic properties of road surfaces in field conditions are most often conducted with the help of modal hammers. Impulse excitation results are usually less accurate than those in the application of modal exciters. The test stand was constructed, comprising a tripod, 32-channel and 24-bit data acquisition system, exciter, signal amplifier, impedance head, single-axis piezoelectric accelerometers and a stinger. The test stand and the proposed method of measuring dynamic stiffness do not require the determination of the resonance frequency of the tested specimen and can be used both on various types of bituminous mixtures of varying shape and dimensions, as well as directly on the upper surface of the wearing course of bituminous pavements.

    Gravel Roads Construction and Maintenance Guide Table of Contents Subject Page

    Errata ­ Replaces page 137 Reconstruction Using a Detour When the reconstruction and resulting berm are significant, the work space takes all or most of the road surface, leaving no room for traffic to negotiate past the work activities. An agency may need to reconstruct the unpaved roadway by correcting the drainage and/or adding surface materials. With this type of work, additional equipment may be used and a large amount of material may create a large berm (12 inches or more across). This will present significant hazards for the traveling public. To improve safety for mo­ torists and workers, a detour may be the best TTC. Not all road users will be familiar with the local road system and some may be confused by the road closure, so signing should be used to assist users negotiating the detour. Reconstruction work space. (Source: Greg Vavra, SDLTAP). Notes: 1. Not all local agencies use route makers for their system. MUTCD Section 6F.59 states “A Street Name sign should be placed above, or the street name should be incorporated into, a DETOUR (M4­9) sign to indicate the name of the street being detoured.” 2. With an increase in traffic at the intersections where the detour begins and ends, a review of the usage of the STOP and YIELD signs should be completed. 3. Flashing warning lights and/or flags may be used to call attention to advance warning signs. 4. Flashing warning lights may be used on the Type 3 Barricades, which should be installed at the point where the road is closed.

    Construction of a High Quality Asphalt Wearing Course with More Than 90

    O5EE-187 UNLOCKING THE FULL POTENTIAL OF RECLAIMED ASPHALT PAVEMENT (RAP) – HIGH QUALITY ASPHALT COURSES INCORPORATING MORE THAN 90% RAP; A CASE STUDY Jens Christian Arnold1, Matthias Nölting1, Gerhard Riebesehl2, Christian Denck3 1Sasol Wax Gmbh, Business Unit Asphalt Additives, Hamburg, Germany 2Storimpex Asphaltec Gmbh, Glinde, Germany 3Behörde für Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt, Amt für Verkehr und Straßenwesen, Hamburg, Germany ABSTRACT It is widely accepted that reuse of RAP in the construction of hot mix asphalt is environmentally friendly and also economically beneficial. Addition rates vary from country to country and depending on mix design and existing hard ware but very rarely exceed 50wt% in the final mix. This paper describes a case study about a mix design incorporating more than 90% RAP. This mix meets German standards for a wearing course subjected to high traffic loads. An area of 3850 m2 aged asphalt concrete wearing course is milled off. Binder content and mineral composition of the RAP coming from a selected road surface is analyzed. The grading curve of the minerals inside the RAP is inspected. Adjustments with virgin aggregate are calculated to generate a final grading curve that meets specification and to accommodate for slightly higher binder content due to rejuvenator addition. Based on the properties of the extracted bitumen proper rejuvenator dosage is calculated as well. The RAP is heated in a newly designed heating drum and then transferred into a 3t batch mixer. In the mixing process the calculated mineral adjustment is added and homogeneously mixed in together with a hydrocarbon reactivator compound. This compound rejuvenates the aged binder and also adjusts modulus to a desired target level.
