  1. NCAT WMA Research 2007 Andrea Kvasnak 1

  2. WMA Field Projects • Chattanooga, TN • Silverthorne, CO • Birmingham, AL • Nashville, TN • Rock Hill, SC 2

  3. Chattanooga • Two site visits • Both using Astec Green System • Visit 1: • Parking lots at Astec Plant • Visit 2: • North Terrace Road 3

  4. Chattanooga Site 1 • Foamed Asphalt • Moisture added was 0.1% by wt of total mix • Compaction Temperatures • 245°F for Virgin • 265°F for RAP • Haul, place and compact using normal procedures 4

  5. Placement of Foamed Asphalt at Astec Plant • 30% RAP base placed first • Some issues with poor base support • Material was workable • Reduced odor 5

  6. Placement of Virgin Mix • Outside bay doors • Target compaction temperature of 245°F • Compaction was same • Some issues with handwork 6

  7. Placement of 30% RAP Surface • Atop 30% base course • Compacted at lower temperature than target • No issues with compacting 7

  8. Chattanooga Site 1: Laboratory Testing • Mobile lab compacted specimens at location • Moisture Susceptibility • 30% RAP base and virgin surface > 0.9 TSR • 30% RAP surface ~ 0.58 TSR • Asphalt Pavement Analyzer • RAP mixes performed better than virgin • Hamburg Wheel Tracking Device • Stripping inflection points < 10,000 • RAP mixes passed, virgin did not 8

  9. Chattanooga TN Site 2 • Astec Double Barrel Green • 2” overlay • 50% RAP • Place at 270°F 9

  10. Chattanooga Site 2:Laboratory Testing • Moisture Susceptibility • Average TSR of 0.8 • Asphalt Pavement Analyzer • Average rut depths < 4 mm • Hamburg Wheel Tracking Device • Ruts < 5 mm • Stripping inflection < 10,000 10

  11. Silverthorne, CO • Three WMA technologies • Advera WMA • Sasobit • Evotherm DAT • Night time paving • Mountain terrain with heavy truck traffic 11

  12. Birmingham, AL • Evotherm DAT • State Rd 79 • Night time paving • WMA and HMA produced and placed • WMA: 15% RAP • HMA: 10% RAP and 5% shingles • Originally considered RAS for both 12

  13. Birmingham, AL cont. • PG 67-22 binder • HMA and WMA placed in the same lane • About 2050 tons of each mix • 1.5 nights of paving for each mix • Test strips (500 tons) and full paving stretch 13

  14. Birmingham, AL:Laboratory Testing • Moisture susceptibility • 3 out of 4 nights passed (2nd WMA 0.7) • APA • APA: WMA > 5 mm, HMA > 3 mm • IDT creep compliance • Not completed • Dynamic modulus • Not completed 14

  15. Shingles • ALDOT and others interested in trying shingles • Concern: Temperature not high enough to get shingle binder activated • Looking into doing some at the NCAT test track • Specimens will be compacted on site 15

  16. Nashville, TN • SR 46 in Nashville • 4 WMA Technologies and 2 controls • Astec Green System • Advera WMA • Evotherm DAT • Sasobit • 3 Plants • 2 different aggregate sources • Furthest haul 45-60 minutes 16

  17. Nashville, TN cont • PG 70-22 • Marshall mix 17

  18. Nashville, TN Field Information • Astec Green System • 775 tons • Compaction: 230°F • Density: 91.6% • Advera WMA • 1150 tons • Compaction: 235°F • Density: 92.7% 18

  19. Nashville, TNField Information Cont. • Evotherm DAT • 750 tons • Compaction: 230°F-250°F • Density: 91% • Sasobit • 705 tons • Compaction: 245°F • Density: 91.7% 19

  20. Nashville, TN:Laboratory Testing • Moisture Susceptibility • All failed except Astec Green (0.83) • APA • Average rut depths for all less than 8mm • Hamburg • Not completed • IDT Creep Compliance • Not completed • Dynamic Modulus • Not completed 20

  21. Rock Hill, SC • 4 mixes • Fractionated RAP • 30% RAP Intermediate and Surface • 50% RAP Intermediate and Surface • PG 64-22 • Testing has not been initiated 21
