Abstract

Cold in-place recycling (CIR) using emulsified asphalt or foamed asphalt has become a more common practice in rehabilitating the existing asphalt pavement due to its cost effectiveness and the conservation of paving materials. As CIR continues to evolve, the engineered emulsified asphalt was developed to improve the field performances such as coating, raveling, retained stability value and curing time. The main objective of this research is to compare the laboratory responses of the engineered emulsified asphalt (CIR-EE) mixtures against the foamed asphalt (CIR-foam) mixtures using the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP)materials collected from the CIR project on U.S. 20 Highway in Iowa. Based on the visual observation of laboratory specimens, the engineered emulsified asphalt coated the RAP materials better than the foamed asphalt because the foamed asphalt is to create a mastic mixture structure rather than coating RAP materials. Given the same compaction effort, CIR-EE specimens exhibited lesser density than CIR-foam specimens. Both Marshall stability and indirect tensile strength of CIR-EE specimens were about same as those of CIR-foam specimens. However, Marshall stability and indirect tensile strength of the vacuum-saturated wet specimens of CIR-EE mixtures were higher than those of CIR-foam mixtures. After four hours of curing in the room temperature, the CIR-EE specimens showed less raveling than the CIR-foam specimens. On the basis of test results, it can be concluded that the CIR-EE mixtures is less susceptible to moisture and more raveling resistant than CIR-foam mixtures.

일반적으로 유화 아스팔트와 폼드 아스팔트를 사용한 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장은 노후한 아스팔트 포장을 재생하는데 가장 경제적이며 친환경적인 재활용 공법이다. 최근, 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 혼합물의 코팅, 라벨링, 잔류안정도, 양생조건을 향상시켜주는 고점착 유화 아스팔트가 개발되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장을 위한 고점착 유화 아스팔트 혼합물과 폼드 아스팔트 혼합물의 실내시험에 대한 반응특성을 비교하는 것이다. 고점착 유화 아스팔트 혼합물은 폼드 아스팔트 혼합물과 비교하여 재활용 골재를 균일하게 코팅시켜주는 것으로 육안 관찰되었다. 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장을 위한 고점착 유화 아스팔트 혼합물과 폼드 아스팔트 혼합물의 마샬안정도와 간접인장강도는 유사한 반응을 보여주었다. 하지만 진공으로 포화된 습윤상태의 고점착 유화 아스팔트 혼합물의 마샬안정도와 간접인장강도는 폼드 아스팔트 혼합물보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 4시간 양생 후 고점착 유화 아스팔트 혼합물의 라벨링 현상은 폼드 아스팔트 혼합물보다 적게 발생하였다. 본 실내시험에 대한 반응특성으로부터 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장을 위한 고점착 유화 아스팔트 혼합물은 폼드 아스팔트 혼합물보다 우수한 저항성과 라벨링 저항성을 발휘하는 것으로 평가되었다.
