Abstract

The objective of the present paper is the assessment of the healing efficiency of a thermomechanical treatment (microwave heating and re-compaction) on cold recycled asphalt mixtures. The asphalt mixture specimens were fabricated with different electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) contents to improve the mixtures' microwave susceptibility. The healing response was then assessed in terms of recovery of their initial indirect tensile strength. Furthermore, statistical analysis was conducted by means of a three-way analysis of variance to determine the influence of temperature, re-compaction energy, and EAFS content on the healing capability of the mixtures. Although re-compaction and heating in the ranges studied do not themselves cause healing, the combination of both produced excellent healing performance. The optimal content of EAFS was established at 5% of EAFS over the weight of the asphalt mixture.

Project objectives

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la eficiencia de un tratamiento termomecánico basado en calentamiento por microondas y recompactación sobre mezclas asfálticas recicladas en frío. Se busca analizar la influencia del contenido de escoria de horno eléctrico (EAFS) en la susceptibilidad al calentamiento por microondas de las mezclas. Se pretende determinar la capacidad de recuperación de la resistencia indirecta a la tracción tras el tratamiento. Además, se propone caracterizar el efecto conjunto de la temperatura, la energía de recompactación y el contenido de EAFS mediante un análisis estadístico de varianza de tres vías. Finalmente, se aspira a establecer el contenido óptimo de EAFS para maximizar la capacidad de curación de las mezclas.

Most relevant results

El estudio evaluó la eficacia de un tratamiento termomecánico basado en calentamiento por microondas y recompacción sobre mezclas asfálticas recicladas en frío con diferentes contenidos de escoria de horno eléctrico (EAFS). Los resultados principales fueron: 1) la combinación de calentamiento y recompacción produjo una recuperación significativa de la resistencia indirecta a la tracción inicial; 2) ni el calentamiento ni la recompacción por separado indujeron un efecto de curación relevante; 3) el análisis estadístico mediante ANOVA de tres vías evidenció que la temperatura, la energía de recompacción y el contenido de EAFS influyen en la capacidad de curación; 4) se determinó que el contenido óptimo de EAFS es del 5% sobre el peso total de la mezcla asfáltica.
