Foamed asphalt stabilized material as a high quality granular base incorporating high percentages of fine fractionated reclaimed asphalt material is investigated. A foamed asphalt mix is designed using a fabricated asphalt foaming device. The final specimens are tested for indirect tensile strength, indirect tensile resilient modulus, triaxial resilient modulus, triaxial repeated load permanent deformation, and unconfined compression. Results are compared to those with the same aggregate blends without stabilization for triaxial resilient modulus and repeated load permanent deformation. Stabilized materials are tested in soaked and unsoaked states to establish moisture susceptibility. Foam stabilization is found to significantly improve triaxial resilient modulus in all materials as well as permanent deformation resistance in materials with high RAP content. Soaking only marginally reduces triaxial resilient modulus and the effects are lesser in materials incorporating high RAP content. / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)

The use of cellular foam as a core material in light-weight structural applications is of considerable interest. However, advances in this technology have been limited due to the lack of information concerning the macroscopic material behavior of cellular foams. Of particular interest in the design of composite structures is the shear modulus, G, of the core material, which must be established with a high degree of accuracy. Current ASTM test methods for shear modulus determination were researched and found inadequate for testing cellular foam materials. The difficulty in testing foam and the inaccuracies associated with the standard test methods established the need for the development of a test method for these materials. The test method (test fixture and test procedure) developed for cellular foam materials is presented. The design of the test fixture and the finite element analysis performed to determine fixture accuracy are discussed in detail. Additionally, the test procedure is presented, as well as the results for the 32 tests performed.
