Abstract

Cold recycled (CR) pavements, the combination of reclaimed asphalt pavement and a recycling agent (foamed or emulsified asphalt) at ambient temperatures, can provide a sustainable method to rehabilitate, reconstruct, and construct roadways. However, CR pavement is not a one-for-one replacement of typical asphalt base mixtures. To utilize CR pavements as an alternative to a typical asphalt base mixture or surface course, additional materials such as rejuvenating agents may be needed. This research focuses on the formulation, plant production, and placement on the National Center for Asphalt Technology pavement test track off-ramp, and laboratory evaluation of three rejuvenated CR mixtures, one foamed asphalt CR mixture, and an engineered emulsion CR mixture. These mixtures were subjected to strength and moisture susceptibility testing, along with the indirect tensile asphalt cracking test (IDEAL-CT) and high-temperature indirect tensile test (HT-IDT). The influence of laboratory production versus plant production and the impact of rejuvenators on mixture performance and density were investigated. International roughness index and rut depth data for the off-ramp sections indicate adequate performance, except for the anionic emulsion with bio-based rejuvenator section. Laboratory test results indicate that the addition of rejuvenators into two of the three CR mixtures increased density and decreased moisture susceptibility and increased the CTIndex by at least 35% compared to non-rejuvenated CR mixtures. HT-IDT strengths revealed that two of the three rejuvenated mixtures performed slightly below the non-rejuvenated mixtures.
