Assessment of the effectiveness and the initial cost efficiency of hot recycled asphalt using polymer modified bitumen
(Elsevier, 2023) Almusawi, Ali; Shoman, Sarmad; Lupanov, Andrei P.
The drastic increase in environmental concerns and increasing costs of road construction materials necessitate evaluating some alternative solutions. One of the most suitable alternatives is recycling old asphalt pavement to produce reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The RAP materials have been commonly combined with asphalt mixtures during pavement construction. Incorporating RAP material should demonstrate an equivalent or better performance than conventional asphalt mixtures. Conversely, the inclusion of RAP mainly needs to improve performance compared to conventional asphalt mixtures. The key issue of using RAP is to restore the loss properties of aged materials and normally asphalt Agent Rejuvenator (ARA) was used. Also, adding polymers with RAP into the asphalt mixture becomes necessary to obtain the required performance. This study investigated the RAP effects of elastomeric polymer on the performance of the asphalt mixture following Russian standards (GOST). The impact of using PMB with RAP material on the asphalt mixture's performance was primarily considered by employing tests that can reveal the adhesion property. Additionally, the performance of the pavement was evaluated in terms of strength and low-temperature cracking. For this purpose, numerous test methods were implemented to appraise the asphalt performance, such as compressive strength, moisture susceptibility, shear resistance, tensile strength, porosity of the mineral particles, and residual porosity. The results indicated that the overall performance of the asphalt mixtures prepared with RAP and combined with polymer depicted a better performance. Moreover, the initial construction cost for each asphalt composition was estimated and compared. The utilization of PMB increased the cost of the asphalt mixture. However, such an increase in the cost would lead to an increase in the overall performance, especially for RAP mixtures.

Field and Laboratory Performance Evaluation of Cement Treated Cold Recycled Asphalt Pavement Mixtures
(Asce-amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2024) Almusawi, Ali; Jaleel, Mustafa Mohammed; Shoman, Sarmad; Lupanov, Andrei P.
This research aims to comprehensively evaluate the performance of cold recycled mixtures treated with cement and plasticizer in laboratory and field settings. The study employed two recycled asphalt fractions, 0-40 mm and 0-20 mm, combined with varying proportions of portland cement (M500), water, and a plasticizer (ZHBI-S). Initial performance assessments were conducted using standard tests, followed by additional tests focusing on rutting resistance, beam fatigue, and elastic modulus of selected recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) compositions. Furthermore, field performance evaluation involved the collection of RAP mixture samples from the asphalt paver's bunker and core samples from the finished pavement. The investigation's outcomes suggest that the cold RAP mixture treated with cement and plasticizer can be applied as a binder or base course.

Integrating Recycled Asphalt Pavement and Warm Mix Additives for Enhanced Performance and Reduced Emissions in Asphalt Mixtures
(Elsevier, 2025) Viktorovich, Gladyshev Nikolai; Almusawi, Ali; Shoman, Sarmad; Lupanov, Andrei P.; Albdairi, Mustafa
This research explores the effects of integrating recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) with various warm mix asphalt (WMA) additives on the production and performance of asphalt concrete mixtures. The main goal is to improve these mixtures' mechanical properties and environmental sustainability by decreasing the production temperature and reducing harmful emissions. The WMA additives tested-CCBit 113 CE, Rediset WMX 8017, Evotherm J-1, Sylvaroad RP1000, ZycoTherm, Amphoteric type DAD-1, and Adgezol 3-TD-vary in composition, including wax-based, amide-based, polyol ether, and surfactant additives, each influencing asphalt properties differently. Laboratory experiments evaluated enhancements in density, compressive strength, water resistance coefficient, and water saturation. The findings show that these additives significantly boost the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete and lower production temperatures by 40-50 C, reducing it from 145 to 155 C to 100-110 degrees C and consequently decreasing emissions of harmful substances like carbon monoxide. Furthermore, the study features a field performance evaluation in partnership with industry collaborators at a pilot section on Yegoryevskoye Highway, Moscow, Russia. This thorough assessment confirms the practicality and advantages of combining RAP and WMA additives in asphalt concrete production, offering a sustainable approach to road construction.
