Použití R-materiálu do asfaltových směsí typu asfaltový koberec mastixový / Usage of reclaimed asphalt pavement in stone mastic asphaltCoufalíková, Iva January 2019 (has links)
The dissertation deals with the possibilities of adding recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) to the stone mastic asphalt (SMA), which is increasingly being promoted due to its good resistance to permanent deformations and high traffic load. Thanks to the use of high-quality input materials in production, this is a valuable material source. The theoretical part describes composition of SMA mixture and problems of pavement recycling. The practical part deals with SMA 11S laboratory designs with RAP ratio of 0 to 50%. Based on these suggestions, a trial section with 17 variants was placed, which varied with the content and quality of the RAP and the used additives. All variants have been subjected to functional testing not only on mixtures but also on recovered binders. The results obtained during the dissertation were used to build a certified methodology named "Methodology of application RAP to Stone Mastic Asphalt." In conclusion, the results of the dissertation are summarized.

Evaluation of Laboratory Durability Tests for Stabilized Aggregate Base MaterialsRoper, Matthew B. 19 May 2007 (has links) (PDF)
The Portland Cement Association commissioned a research project at Brigham Young University to compare selected laboratory durability tests available for assessing stabilized aggregate base materials. The laboratory research associated with this project involved two granular base materials, three stabilizers at three concentration levels each, and three durability tests in a full-factorial experimental design. The granular base materials consisted of an aggregate-reclaimed asphalt pavement blend obtained from Interstate 84 (I-84) and a crushed limestone obtained from U.S. Highway 91 (US-91), while the three stabilizer types included Class C fly ash, lime-fly ash, and Type I/II Portland cement. Specimens were tested for durability using the freeze-thaw test, the vacuum saturation test, and the tube suction test. Analyses of the test results indicated that the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and retained UCS were higher for specimens tested in freeze-thaw cycling than the corresponding values associated with vacuum saturation testing. This observation suggests that the vacuum saturation test is more severe than the freeze-thaw test for materials similar to those evaluated in this research. The analyses also indicated that the I-84 material retained more strength during freeze-thaw cycling and vacuum saturation and exhibited lower final dielectric values during tube suction testing than the US-91 material. Although the I-84 material performed better than the US-91 material, the I-84 material required higher stabilizer concentrations to reach the target 7-day UCS values specified in this research. After freeze-thaw testing, the Class C fly-treated specimens were significantly stronger than both lime-fly ash- and cement-treated specimens. In the vacuum saturation test, none of the three stabilizer types were significantly different from each other with respect to either UCS or retained UCS. Dielectric values measured during tube suction testing were lowest for cement-treated specimens, indicating that cement performed better than other stabilizers in reducing the moisture/frost susceptibility of the treated materials. The results also show that, as the stabilizer concentration level increased from low to high, specimens performed better in nearly all cases. A strong correlation was identified between UCS after the freeze-thaw test and UCS after the vacuum saturation test, while very weak correlations were observed between the final dielectric value after tube suction testing and all other response variables. Differences in variability between test results were determined to be statistically insignificant. Engineers interested in specifying a comparatively severe laboratory durability test should consider vacuum saturation testing for specimens treated with stabilizers similar to those evaluated in this research. The vacuum saturation test is superior to both the freeze-thaw and tube suction tests because of the shorter duration and lack of a need for daily specimen monitoring. Although the Class C fly ash used in this research performed well, further investigation of various sources of Class C fly ash is recommended because of the variability inherent in that material. Similar research should be performed on subgrade soils, which are also routinely stabilized in pavement construction. Research related to long-term field performance of stabilized materials should be conducted to develop appropriate thresholds for laboratory UCS values in conjunction with vacuum saturation testing.

Variability in Construction of Cement-Treated Base Layers: Probabilistic Analysis of Pavement Life Using Mechanistic-Empirical ApproachRogers, Tyler J. 23 November 2009 (has links) (PDF)
The primary objective of this research was to quantify the improvement in service life of a flexible pavement constructed using full-depth reclamation (FDR) in conjunction with cement stabilization when specified reductions in the spatial variability of specific construction-related parameters are achieved. This study analyzed pavement data obtained through field and laboratory testing of a reconstruction project in northern Utah. Data analyses included multivariate regression, Monte Carlo simulation, and mechanistic-empirical analyses of a model pavement structure. The results of the research show a steadily increasing trend in 28-day unconfined compressive strength of the cement-treated base (CTB) layer with increasing reductions in variability for cement content, moisture content, and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content across each of five different reliability levels. The most significant increases in CTB strength occurred with reductions in the standard deviations of moisture content and RAP content. Decreasing the variability of cement content did not provide significant additional strength to the CTB layer. Therefore, when involved on FDR projects, members of the pavement industry should focus energy on reducing the variability of both moisture content and RAP content, which both significantly impact pavement life, to achieve high-quality, long-lasting pavements.

Factors Affecting the Strength of Road Base Stabilized with Cement Slurry or Dry Cement in Conjunction with Full-Depth ReclamationDixon, Paul A. 19 April 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Full-depth reclamation (FDR) in conjunction with cement stabilization is an established practice for rehabilitating deteriorating asphalt roads. Conventionally, FDR uses dry cement powder applied with a pneumatic spreader, creating undesirable fugitive cement dust. The cement dust poses a nuisance and, when inhaled, a health threat. Consequently, FDR in conjunction with conventional cement stabilization cannot generally be used in urban areas. To solve the problem of fugitive cement dust, the use of cement slurry, prepared by combining cement powder and water, has been proposed to allow cement stabilization to be utilized in urban areas. However, using cement slurry introduces several factors not associated with using dry cement that may affect road base strength, dry density (DD), and moisture content (MC). The objectives of this research were to 1) identify construction-related factors that influence the strength of road base treated with cement slurry in conjunction with FDR and quantify the effects of these factors and 2) compare the strength of road base treated with cement slurry with that of road base treated with dry cement. To achieve the research objectives, road base taken from an FDR project was subjected to extensive full-factorial laboratory testing. The 7-day unconfined compressive strength (UCS), DD, and MC were measured as dependent variables, while independent variables included cement content; slurry water batching temperature; cement slurry aging temperature; cement slurry aging time; presence of a set-retarding, water-reducing admixture; and aggregate-slurry mixing time. This research suggests that, when road base is stabilized with cement slurry in conjunction with FDR, the slurry water batching temperature; haul time; environmental temperature; and presence of a set-retarding, water-reducing admixture will not significantly affect the strength of CTB, provided that those factors fall within the limits explored in this research and are applied to a road base with similar properties. Cement content and cement-aggregate mixing time are positively correlated with the strength of CTB regardless of cement form. Additionally, using cement slurry will result in slightly lower strength values than using dry cement.

Temporal and Spatial Variability in Base Materials Treated with Asphalt EmulsionQuick, Tyler James 17 March 2011 (has links) (PDF)
The first objective of this research was to investigate temporal trends in the mechanical properties of base materials stabilized with asphalt emulsion and to assess the rate at which emulsion-treated base (ETB) design properties are achieved. The second objective of this research was to identify construction and environmental factors most correlated to specific mechanical properties of ETB layers and to determine which construction factors exhibit the greatest variability. Additional statistical analysis was performed to determine if significant differences existed between different test sections on a given project. In this research, three experimental sections were established along a pavement reconstruction project near Saratoga Springs, Utah. Field tests were performed to assess the structural properties of the ETB immediately following construction and at 2, 3, 7, and 14 days; 4 months; and 1 year. Measured values were plotted against time to determine trends in ETB strength development. Several statistical analyses were then performed on the collected data. Modulus values were consistently low in all three sections during the first two weeks of testing, increased dramatically by 4 months, and then decreased considerably by 1 year. During the first two weeks following construction, the average ETB structural coefficient was 0.04. Only two of the three sections reached the design structural coefficient of 0.25, which occurred after approximately 3 months; however, the average structural coefficient measured for all three sections after 1 year of curing, which included a winter, was only 47 percent of the design strength. The results of this research show that, while pavement capacity is sufficient at 4 months, it is severely reduced during the first two weeks and at 1 year. Trafficking under these reduced capacities is not recommended. Statistical analysis showed that gradation, binder change during emulsion treatment, and moisture content have the most significant impact on ETB structural properties. Gradation and binder change during emulsion treatment also exhibited significant variability; tighter specifications on material gradations and improved uniformity in emulsion distribution should therefore be considered. Because of the negative impacts of moisture on ETB strength development, construction should not be performed in conditions of excess moisture.

Étude thermomécanique avancée de différents types d’enrobés recyclés tièdes avec additifs / Advanced thermomechanical study of different types of warm recycled asphalt with additivesPham, Nguyen Hoang 12 December 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une collaboration entre le Laboratoire Génie Civil et Bâtiment (LGCB)/Laboratoire de Tribologie et Dynamique des Systèmes (LTDS) et l’entreprise Arkema, l’entreprise routière Malet, l’Agence de l’Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l’Énergie (ADEME). L’objectif de la thèse est l’étude du comportement thermomécanique des enrobés bitumineux, et spécifiquement les enrobés tièdes avec et sans agrégat d’enrobé (RAP, Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement), dans le but de prévoir leur durée de vie et d’optimiser leur dimensionnement dans un contexte de développement durable.Sept types d’enrobés bitumineux sont étudiés. Les enrobés diffèrent par leur procédé de fabrication, le pourcentage de RAP, les additifs et le pourcentage d’additif utilisé. Deux types de fabrications sont étudiées : à chaud (Hot Mix –HM) qui sert de référence et tièdes (Warm Mix –WM). Trois pourcentages de RAP sont considérés : 0%, 30% et 50%. Deux types d’additifs fournis par ARKEMA sont utilisés, ETIMA (E) et ETIMA-BIO (B), avec deux pourcentages, 0% et 0.4%. L’utilisation des enrobés tièdes contribue à réduire considérablement la consommation d’énergie, l’impact sanitaire et l’impact environnemental. D’autre part, l’ajout des RAP dans les enrobés permet d’augmenter le taux de recyclage des matières non renouvelables. Ces innovations participent à la prise en compte des enjeux du développement durable et de la préservation de l’environnement.Quatre types d’essais ont été réalisés. Ce sont : l’essai de module complexe, l’essai de fatigue, l’essai de retrait thermique empêché (TSRST) et l’essai de propagation d’ondes. Dans le domaine du comportement viscoélastique linéaire, les essais de module complexe sont réalisés sur une large gamme de températures (de -25°C à 45°C) et de fréquences (de 0.03Hz à 10Hz). Chaque test est dupliqué. Les résultats sont modélisés à l’aide du modèle analogique 2S2P1D qui a été développé au laboratoire LGCB de l’ENTPE. Ce modèle permet de modéliser correctement le comportement tridimensionnel viscoélastique linéaire des enrobés. Ensuite, le comportement en fatigue est étudié grâce à des essais de fatigue. Pour chaque matériau, quatre ou cinq éprouvettes sont testées. Quatre critères sont utilisés pour évaluer la durée de vie des matériaux. Puis, le comportement à basse température est caractérisé à l’aide de l’essai de retrait thermique empêché (TSRST). Pour chaque matériau, trois éprouvettes sont testées. Enfin, des essais de propagation d’ondes sont réalisés. La méthode de détermination du temps de vol des ondes « P » et des ondes « S » ainsi que la méthode Impact Résonance sont utilisées. Ces essais fournissent des mesures non destructives et faciles à réaliser. A partir de ces méthodes, on peut calculer les valeurs de modules et de coefficients de Poisson des matériaux.Soulignons que les essais réalisés permettent d’obtenir certain des paramètres utilisés pour le dimensionnement des chaussées. Un résultat essentiel de l’étude est la bonne performance des enrobés tièdes contenant des agrégats d’enrobés (RAP). / This PhD dissertation is part of the collaboration between the French Agency for Environment and Energy Management (ADEME), the companies Arkema and Malet and the Ecole Nationale de Travaux Publics de l’Etat (ENTPE). The aim of this dissertation is to study the thermo-mechanical behavior of asphalt mixes, specifically warm mix asphalts with and without Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in order to predict their fatigue life and to optimize their design by targeting sustainable development. Seven types of asphalt mixes are studied. They differ in their mixing method, RAP content, additives used and their content. Two types of mixing methods are studied: Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), which serves as a reference, and Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA). Three RAP contents are considered: 0%, 30% and 50%. Two types of additives provided by Arkema are used : ETIMA (E) and ETIMA-BIO (B) with two contents for each of them (0% and 0.4%). The use of warm mix asphalt helps significantly reducing both energy consumption and the impact on health and environment. These innovations are significant contributions with respect to issues of sustainable development and environmental preservation. Four types of laboratory tests were performed: complex modulus tests, fatigue tests, Thermal Stress Restrained Specimen Tests (TSRST) and wave propagation tests. In the Linear ViscoElastic (LVE) behavior domain, complex modulus tests were performed on a wide range of temperatures (from -25°C to 45°C) and frequencies (from 0.03 Hz to 10 Hz). For each material, two specimens were tested. Values of complex modulus and complex Poisson’s ratio were obtained and modeled using the 2S2P1D analogies model, developed in the Laboratoire Génie Civil et Bâtiement (LGCB) of ENTPE. It was observed that this model can correctly simulate the LVE behavior of asphalt mixes. Fatigue behavior was studied by analyzing fatigue tests results. For each material, four or five specimens were tested. Four different failure criteria were used in order to evaluate fatigue life of materials. Low temperature behavior of materials was characterized using TSRST. For each material, three replicates were performed. Finally, wave propagation tests were carried out. The method to determine the time of flight of « P » and « S » waves and the impact resonance method are presented. These tests provide a non-destructive method to characterize materials, which easy to perform. Using those methods, values of complex modulus and Poisson's ratio of tested materials can be estimated. It is to be underlined that the tests performed in this PhD allow to obtaining some parameters which are required for asphalt pavement design. An important result obtained in this study is that warm mix asphalt combined with RAP and additives (ETIMA ou ETIMA-BIO) could perform as well as hot mix asphalt.

Propriétés thermomécaniques d’enrobés multi-recyclés / Thermomechanical propertis of bitiminous mixtures multi-recycledPedraza, Alvaro 06 March 2018 (has links)
Les premiers recyclages d’enrobés bitumineux à 50% sont apparus sur autoroutes françaises dans les années 1990 – une charte de l’innovation spécifique aux enrobés drainants intégrant 50% de recyclés fut notamment délivrée début 2002 (SETRA - CSTR, 2002). Un nouveau cycle de recyclage à fort taux de ces tout premiers enrobés a été entrepris ici ou là, depuis quelques années. Le multirecyclage des agrégats d’en-robé (AE) dans les mélanges d’enrobés bitumineux est de ce fait une problématique actuelle, qui va se gé-néraliser dans l’avenir, lorsqu’il faudra recycler des enrobés contenant déjà des enrobés recyclés plusieurs fois. Le projet visant à étudier le MUlti-Recyclage des Enrobés tièdes a été labellisé projet national (PN MURE). Une part du projet MURE regroupant des aspects scientifiques particuliers a été regroupé au sein du projet « IMPROVMURE », financé par l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche, et qui a débuté en mars 2014. L’objectif du projet « Innovation en Matériaux et PROcédés pour la Valorisation du MUlti-Recyclage des En-robés » (IMPROVMURE) est de fournir des éléments de réponse raisonnés et quantifiés, en laboratoire et sur sites pilotes, afin de faire du multi-recyclage des enrobés fabriqués à chaud et tiède. Les questions sociétales, environnementales, règlementaires ou normatives sont également prises en compte dans le cadre du projet. Un des objectifs du projet IMPROVMURE est l’étude des propriétés thermomécaniques des enrobés. C’est dans le cadre de cet objectif que s’inscrit le travail de thèse présenté dans ce document. Cette thèse est le fruit d’une collaboration entre le Laboratoire Génie Civil et Bâtiment de l’ENTPE (LGCB)/Laboratoire de Tribologie et Dynamique des Systèmes (LTDS) et l’entreprise EIFFAGE Infrastructures. 15 types d’enrobés ont été testés pour l’étude des propriétés thermomécaniques des enrobés multi-recyclés. Les enrobés diffèrent par leur condition de fabrication (Laboratoire ou chantier), leur procédé de fabrication (chaud ou tiède mousse), le taux d’agrégat d’enrobé introduit (0%, 40%, 70% ou100%) et le nombre de cycles de recyclage (un, deux ou trois). Trois caractéristiques ont été communes à tous les types d’enrobés fabriqués, sauf pour l’enrobé contenant 100% d’agrégats d’enrobé. La première est la même courbe granulométrique des granulats, la troisième est la teneur en liant de 5.4% en masse et la troisième est le type d’enrobé « Béton Bitumineux Semi-Grenu » (BBSG) de type 03 selon la norme EN 13108-1. Trois domaines du comportement des enrobés bitumineux ont été étudies : Viscoélasticité linéaire (VEL), couplage thermomécanique à basse température et fissuration à froid. Pour le domaine de comportement VEL, les enrobés bitumineux ont été étudiés à l’aide des essais de module complexe en traction-compression réalisés sur une large gamme de températures et de fréquences sur éprouvette cylindrique à l’ENTPE. Les résultats sont modélisés à l’aide du modèle analogique 2S2P1D qui a été développé au laboratoire LGCB de l’ENTPE. Des essais de propagation d’ondes ont aussi été réalisés. La méthode de détermination du temps de vol des ondes « P » et des ondes « S » et la méthode Impact Résonance sont utilisées. Ces essais utilisent des méthodes non destructives et faciles à réaliser. On peut ainsi calculer les valeurs de modules et de coefficients de Poisson des matériaux. Puis, le couplage thermomécanique à basse température est caractérisé à l’aide de l’essai de retrait thermique empêché (TSRST), qui utilise le même dispositif que l’essai de module complexe mais les éprouvettes utilisées sont de géométrie différente. Finalement des essais de propagation de fissure ont été réalisés avec des sollicitations monotones. La propagation de la fissure suivie utilisant la méthode de corrélation des images. Des estimations de la hauteur de fissure ont été faites sur la basse de la méthode DRCL développée à l’ENTPE. / Reuse of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is considered as one of the main solutions to cope with the objectives of worldwide sustainable development. In this way, the reuse of RAP in bituminous mixtures has been matter of study in previous papers (Chen et al., 2009; Kaur et al., 2013; Mogawer et al., 2012; Ru-bio et al., 2012; Sias Daniel et al., 2013; Valdés et al., 2011) and had concluded be economically profitable as well as had demonstrated the durability of the tested materials. Nowadays, new topics overcome dealing with how increase the RAP content and how many times RAP could be recycled. In France, a collaborative research and development project called “Multi-recycling of warm foam bitu-minous mixtures” (MURE) have brought together all the stakeholders involved in road construction. The pro-gram has run since March 2014. The scientific part of MURE project is IMPROVMURE project (Innovation for Materials and Processes for Improving the Multi-Recycling of Mixes). The overall budget of the project were €4.7M, €2.3M of which been provided by the ANR (National Re-search Agency) in the framework of the IMPROVMURE project, which has gotten under way in March 2014 and its main goal of characterizing the remobilization of the binder from recycled materials was the evalua-tion of the durability of mixes with the addition of binder. Thus, one objective of this project is to determine the thermomechanical properties of multi-recycled bi-tuminous mixtures, so in the context of this goal the current study was made. Likewise this investigation was a collaboration between the Tribology and System Dynamics Laboratory (LTDS) of the University of Lyon/ENTPE (“Ecole Nationale des Travaux Publics de l’Etat” ) and the French company EIFFAGE Infra-structures. For this study 15 types of bituminous mixtures were tested, the bituminous mixtures were produced in the laboratory and construction site, also two different techniques were studied for mixtures elaboration: hot and warm using foamed bitumen in both cases, the RAP content on these were 0%, 40%, 70% and even close to 100% produced after several recycling operations (up to 3 cycles). All bituminous mixtures have 3 invariants: the first is the same aggregate grading curves (except the bituminous mixture with 100% of RAP). The second one is the total binder content (5.4% in total weight). The last is classified as BBSG-03 0/10 bitu- 15 minous mixture, as is specified in the European standards for classification of bituminous mixtures (NF EN 13108-1 - 2007). Three domains of behaviour were studied: Linear Viscoelastic behaviour (LVE), cracking behaviour at low temperature and the fracture behaviour at low temperature. The LVE was studied considering complex modulus tests on bituminous mixtures and were performed in tension/compression on cylindrical samples, thus LVE behaviour was then modelled with 2S2P1D rheological model, developed at Uni. of Lyon / ENTPE, for the other hand cracking behaviour at low temperature was studied considering Thermal Stress Restrained Specimen Tests (TSRST), and finally fracture behaviour at low temperature was studied with the crack propagation tests as a monotonic loading.
