SLOW SETTING CATIONIC BITUMINOUS EMULSIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF ROADS (OPTEL)

The purpose of this research program is to create a methodology for the development of slow-setting cationic emulsions and their use in the manufacturing of an extended range of road paving materials. This methodology must cover the full range of all the influencing parameters, from the physical and chemical properties of binders to the characteristics of emulsions and their interaction with the physical and chemical properties of mineral aggregates during the mixing, laying and compactation of paving mixtures. More specifically, the investigation deals with all the different parameters which may impact on the use of slow-setting cationic bituminous emulsions in either wearing course formulation, for which a particular focus will be laid on the possibility to use local mineral aggregates or reclaimed materials. Saving on energy is one of the major reasons for which cold paving techniques, which appeared later than the hot techniques, began to grow significantly in the fifties, when the appearance of emulsifiers made it possible to produce cationic emulsions. In addition, cold technologies offer a valid alternative to the ecological shortcomings of hot asphalt mixing plants. For the covering abstract see ITRD E107185.
