Laboratory Evaluation of Sasobit-Modified Warm-Mix Asphalt for Alaskan Conditions
A number of completed or ongoing studies on different aspects of warm-mix asphalt (WMA) have being conducted in the United States, indicating pavement professionals’ strong interest in exploring the application of this innovative technology. In the summer of 2008, a field trial project using Sasobit-modified WMA was established in the southeastern region of Alaska, which was Alaska’s first experience with a WMA technology. In line with this field experimental feature project, this paper presents a systematic laboratory study of both Sasobit-modified WMA binders and mixes. Engineering properties of Sasobit-modified WMA binders and mixes were experimentally evaluated, and the effects of Sasobit addition on the WMA’s performance in terms of low temperature behavior, rutting resistance, and moisture susceptibility were investigated. Research results identified a number of engineering benefits of Sasobit-modified WMAs over conventional HMA. Sasobit-modified WMAs reduced mixing and compaction temperatures, impr...
