      <title>Study on water stability of hot in-place recycled asphalt mixture under temperature-pressure coupling</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2672275</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Water damage is a key factor limiting the service life of asphalt pavements, particularly hot in-place recycled (HIR) mixtures with high reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content. Existing water stability evaluation methods fail to accurately simulate the temperature-dynamic water pressure coupled environment experienced in real pavements. To address this, this study employed a self-developed temperature-pressure coupled tester to systematically assess the water stability of HIR mixtures (90 % RAP, 10 % new aggregates). Comparing with traditional tests, the influences of key parameters (temperature, pressure, time, void content) were comprehensively examined alongside a significance analysis of influencing factors. Results show residual Marshall stability (MS₀) and tensile strength ratio (TSR) from traditional tests both exceed 95 %, failing to reveal substantial degradation under severe service conditions. In contrast, under coupled conditions (60 ℃, 0.8 MPa), these indices plummet to 58.48 % and 54.00 %, respectively, demonstrating a synergistic deterioration effect. The significance analysis ranks the influencing factors as follows: void content > dynamic water pressure > exposure time > temperature. A critical void content of 7–8 % was identified; beyond this threshold, water damage resistance declines sharply. Additionally, increased pressure and prolonged exposure significantly increase performance test result discreteness. This study provides a novel approach for objective evaluation of recycled asphalt mixtures’ water stability under actual service conditions.]]></description>

      <title>Hot Recycling of Asphalt Pavements</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2683232</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The objective of this report is to evaluate the feasibility and benefit of utilizing asphalt pavement hot recycling in Oklahoma. The work began in April, 1980 and lasted through June, 1980. The 8 1/2 mile (13.6 km) project was located on I-40 in Caddo County. The project involved cold milling the top one inch (25 mm) of roadway. A non-woven polypropylene fabric, Petromat, was placed on the cold milled surface. This material was overlaid with 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) of the hot recycled mixture containing recycled asphalt concrete, virgin aggregate, and asphalt cement.]]></description>

      <title>Evaluating the role of base binder type and aging severity on restoration capacity of rejuvenating agents for sustainable asphalt recycling</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2643644</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The use of rejuvenating agents (RAs) is crucial in restoring the properties of aged asphalt binder during hot mix recycling. Studies on the effectiveness of RAs for unmodified binder (UMB) and polymer-modified binder (PMB) under different aging severities are scarce, yet necessary for enabling repeated hot mix recycling. This study examined the rejuvenation capacity of four RAs (fresh mustard oil, waste cooking oil, waste engine oil and tall oil) for UMB and PMB. Laboratory aging was performed to achieve aging index (AI) of 1.27?±?0.01 and 1.5?±?0.01, representing moderate and severe aging degrees. Various RA dosages were added to the aged binder, and the physical, rheological and performance properties were measured to estimate the optimum rejuvenator dosages. A storage stability test and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were performed to evaluate RA compatibility and chemical changes induced by the RAs, respectively. The results showed that RAs effective for UMB were not equally effective for PMB because of polymer degradation in aged-PMB. RA performance was highly dependent on binder type and aging severity. High RA dosages, especially in severely aged binders, can lead to poor storage stability. RAs restoring stiffness (G*) and phase angle (d) are recommended for efficient hot mix recycling.]]></description>

      <title>Multibenefits Evaluation of Pavement Maintenance Treatments Based on Performance and Evolutionary Game Analysis</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2612885</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Life-cycle management and maintenance is essential to ensuring the long-term serviceability of pavements. To investigate the mechanism of performance-based maintenance, two evaluation indicators based on pavement performance deterioration prediction models were established to assess long-term benefits, including the effort of efficiency (EOE) and safety rate (Rₛ). Considering benefits of stakeholders, a performance evaluation system was developed using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and scores of hot in-place recycling (HIR) and milling and resurfacing (MR) maintenance were calculated. On this basis, system dynamics and game simulation were conducted to predict the long-term benefits and cooperation probabilities between owners and contractors under different scores and standards. Comparisons were also made with traditional maintenance. Results show that under repeated applications of the same maintenance type, the EOE of MR is 1.6 times higher than that of HIR. However, the Rₛ of HIR is more stable. It is recommended that maintenance strategies be combined based on long-term benefits. HIR and MR received scores of 81.89 and 88.68 in AHP evaluation, which was input into game model. It demonstrates that the performance-based maintenance increases contractor benefits and slows performance deterioration. Higher scores result in greater benefits for both parties. Moreover, the long-term cooperation probability converges to 1. In contrast, the traditional maintenance leads to fixed contractor profits and faster performance degradation. Therefore, this mechanism can assist owners in setting reasonable standards and selecting maintenance strategies with better long-term performance, while also enabling contractors to achieve higher benefits.]]></description>

      <title>Hot asphalt recycling in cold climate: performance-based mixture design and a test section in the Swiss Alps</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2582170</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The use of high reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content in the production of hot asphalt mixtures increases the risk of pavement cracking, especially in locations with cold climate and high temperature fluctuations. Here the authors used a performance-based mixture design approach to prepare three plant-produced hot asphalt mixtures for base, binder and foundation courses containing between 60% and 85% RAP and paved them at 1900 m altitude in the Swiss Alps. The mixture performance-based test and road core test results demonstrated that it is possible to ensure the required mixture performance even when using high RAP content so long as the homogeneity of RAP is ensured. The conventional mixture quality control requirements were fulfilled as well. As a result of the research, recommendations for designing mixtures containing high RAP content for high altitude roads are proposed.]]></description>

      <title>Study on Utilizing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement in Bituminous Concrete Wearing Course with PMB 70-10 V as Binder Using Hot In-Plant Recycling Process</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2407300</link>
      <description><![CDATA[India has the second-largest road network in the world of about 62.16 lakh km. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is produced in huge amounts after milling the aged or high severity distress bituminous pavement. RAP can be used again in Bituminous Concrete (BC) layer construction, saving bitumen, aggregates, and landfill space. Resources are scarce in some regions of our country where the reclaimed asphalt pavement usage will be cost-effective and environmentally friendly leading to sustainable development by conserving natural resources. This paper describes the study of volumetric and mechanical properties of RAP blended Bituminous Concrete mix with PMB 70-10 V as a virgin binder. In this study, 25% of RAP is added to virgin Aggregates in proportion to the weight of aggregates in the BC mix. PMB 70-10 V is used as a virgin binder, and RAP BC Mix is designed following MS-2 Asphalt Mix Design Method. The results show that RAP Bituminous Concrete mix with PMB 70-10 V binder at 5.6% optimum binder content (OBC) and 5.8% have exhibited Volumetric and Marshall properties similar to conventional Bituminous Concrete mix with PMB 70-10 V binder at 5.4% OBC. Also, the overall cost of BC mix materials, production, transportation, and laying is reduced by 8.77% relative to conventional BC mix cost. This study also describes the challenges faced during RAP BC mix production using the Hot In-Plant recycling process and execution in a pilot project in the southern region of India.]]></description>

      <title>Research on skid resistance and prediction model of hot in-place recycled asphalt pavement based on gradation and aggregate characteristics</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2572744</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Hot in-place recycling (HIR) has emerged as a sustainable maintenance technology that provides advantages in resource conservation and emission reduction. However, long-term monitoring of road maintenance reveals that the rate of skid resistance decay in HIR pavements is significantly higher than that observed in newly constructed asphalt pavements. This research systematically investigates the effects of five gradations and five types of coarse aggregates on the skid resistance of hot in-place recycled asphalt mixtures (HIRM) using an indoor accelerated polishing device (IAPD). Key parameters, including Mean Texture Depth (MTD) and British Pendulum Number (BPN), were measured. Additionally, the surface morphology, mineral composition, and elemental distribution of the coarse aggregates were analyzed using microscopic testing methods. Finally, predictive models for MTD and BPN were developed through multiple linear regression, and the accuracy of these models was validated via indoor experiments. Results indicate that variations in gradation, particularly the passing rate of the 4.75 mm sieve (P4.75), significantly influence MTD, while the properties of coarse aggregates have a more pronounced effect on BPN. Pearson correlation analysis reveals a strong negative correlation between P4.75 and both the initial and final MTD values, with correlation coefficients of −0.96 and −0.94, respectively. Additionally, the final polished stone value (PSVfinal) of coarse aggregates and the overall average hardness (HIRMh) exhibit correlation coefficients with BPN of 0.87 and 0.79, respectively. Following the correlation analysis, several indicators were selected for a multivariable regression analysis, which successfully established a decay model for the MTD index (R² > 0.98) and a logarithmic decay model for BPN (R² > 0.96). Validation tests confirmed that the prediction errors for the models were below 7 % and 4 %, respectively. This research provides theoretical insights for material design and the prediction of skid resistance of HIR asphalt pavements.]]></description>

      <title>Effect of waste oil rejuvenators on hot in-place recycled SMA pavement</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2562476</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Hot In-place Recycling (HIR) asphalt pavement often contains more than 90 % Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), frequently leading to issues such as poor crack resistance and durability. Specifically, HIR of Stone Mastic Asphalt (HIR-SMA) often suffers from insufficient compaction, resulting in performance degradation. This study aims to explore rejuvenators derived from waste oil that can significantly enhance the performance of HIR-SMA. Five waste oil rejuvenators were selected, including Waste Soybean Oil (WSO), Palm Oil (PO), Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESO), Tall Oil (TO), and Waste Engine Oil (WEO). Recycled asphalt lab samples were modified with five rejuvenators at various dosages and tested for asphalt basic properties, with differences analyzed using infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, the compactability, fatigue resistance, crack resistance at medium and low temperatures, moisture stability, and rutting resistance of HIR-SMA were tested. Finally, the waste oil rejuvenators were applied in a highway maintenance project in Jiangxi Province, with the field construction effectiveness assessed through a non-nuclear asphalt density gauge. The results show that WSO, PO, and ESO rejuvenators exhibit better rejuvenation effects compared to TO and WEO, restoring aged asphalt performance close to virgin asphalt. This is primarily attributed to their high ester content. The addition of rejuvenators effectively reducing the compaction energy required and enhancing compactibility of HIR-SMA. Additionally, WSO rejuvenated mixtures demonstrated a fourfold increase in fatigue life and improved crack resistance at medium temperatures by 9–15 %, albeit with reduced low-temperature crack resistance by 13–30 %. The addition, both waste oils also decreased rutting and moisture stability but remained within acceptable limits. At last, field construction measurements of waste oil-rejuvenated SMA by HIR indicated that WSO is more suitable for HIR construction.]]></description>

      <title>Research on macro and micro performance degradation of hot in-place recycled asphalt mixtures with high RAP contents</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2559985</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Hot in-place recycling (HIR) technology is a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable method for pavement repair that utilizes reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) materials. Despite its significance in pavement rehabilitation, there is limited literature on the performance of asphalt pavements constructed using HIR.This research examines the effects of high RAP content on hot in-place recycled asphalt mixtures (HIRAM), specifically focusing on high-temperature stability, moisture damage resistance, and crack resistance. An in-situ dynamic direct tensile (ISDT) test was introduced to investigate the degradation mechanisms that influence the performance of HIRAM at a microscopic level. Additionally, a degradation model for crack resistance in HIRAM correlated with RAP content, was developed alongside macroscopic evaluations of crack performance.indicate that asphalt mixtures with a high RAP content (>60 %) exhibit enhanced high-temperature stability and resistance to moisture damage. In comparison to asphalt mixtures with 0 % RAP content, the high-temperature stability of HIRAM containing 100 % RAP increased by 257.1 %. Although variations in moisture damage resistance were minimal, all mixtures met regulatory standards. Crack resistance was primarily influenced by the content of RAP, when RAP content exceeded 90 %, the fracture energy (Gf) decreased by 66.1–73.4 %. The results obtained from the ISDT micro-experiment and Semi-Circular Bend (SCB) mixture tests closely align, with the correlation coefficient of the developed model for cracking resistance decay in relation to RAP content reaching 0.9932. Furthermore, the ISDT test has been validated as an effective method for assessing the cracking resistance of HIRAM with elevated RAP content at a micro-scale level.]]></description>

      <title>Evaluation of low-temperature cracking resistance in multi-scale hot in-place recycled asphalt mixtures</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2545139</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Hot in-place recycling (HIR) has become a viable technique for rehabilitating asphalt pavements, effectively reducing the demand for virgin materials. However, the behavior of HIR mixtures in cold conditions, particularly their resistance to cracking, remains a significant concern. This study evaluates the low-temperature cracking resistance of HIR mixtures across multiple material scales, including the asphalt binder, mastic, fine aggregate matrix (FAM), and asphalt mixture. Multi-scale direct tension tests are conducted on specimens containing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) contents ranging from 60 % to 100 %. The effect of RAP content on the fracture behavior of these multi-scale mixtures is investigated, and a correlation analysis is performed on the crack resistance parameters across different material scales. The results show a clear correlation between RAP content and low-temperature cracking resistance, with performance significantly decreasing when the RAP content reaches 90 %. The fracture energy density (FED) of multi-scale HIR mixtures decreases as RAP content increases, with the strongest correlation observed between the FAM and mixture scales. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing HIR mixtures to enhance low-temperature performance, contributing to the development of more sustainable pavement practices.]]></description>

      <title>Performance optimization of asphalt blending behavior considering the effect of RAP agglomerates in hot in-place recycled asphalt mixture</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2521238</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is widely utilized in hot in-place recycling, but the agglomeration phenomenon of RAP can hinder the blending of virgin and aged asphalt, thereby affecting the performance of recycled asphalt mixtures. This study investigated the blending behavior of virgin and aged asphalt, with a specific focus on the influence of RAP agglomerates, to enhance the efficiency of hot in-place recycling processes. Initially, the composition of RAP agglomerates was analyzed through hot mixing and extraction tests, with the RAP agglomeration rate quantitatively characterized. The ineffective asphalt in RAP was determined considering the presence of agglomerates utilizing the specific surface area coefficient method. Subsequently, a multi-scale calculation model for blending degree of virgin and aged asphalt at the non-agglomerated RAP interface, both with and without rejuvenator, was established based on dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and atomic force microscope (AFM) test parameters. Furthermore, the blending behavior of asphalt at agglomerated RAP interface was investigated by integrating the ineffective asphalt content in RAP with the asphalt blending degree at non-agglomerated RAP interface. Finally, the optimization of road performance was carried out based on blending behavior of asphalt at agglomerated RAP interface. Results show that the asphalt content in strongly cohesive agglomerates is 3.7 %, which cannot participate in hot mixing. The presence of strongly cohesive agglomerates reduces the blending degree of virgin and aged asphalt, while the rejuvenator improves the blending degree of asphalt. Based on asphalt blending behavior, appropriately increasing the amount of virgin asphalt can improve the overall road performance of hot in-place recycled asphalt mixtures.]]></description>

      <title>Results of surface hot-in place recycling (remix) of modified and alternative asphalt mixtures in Finland. Part II: bitumen scale</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2310441</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Surface hot-in place recycling of asphalt mixtures has been conducted on Finnish roads for several years. The procedure is performed either in full-lane('remix') or shorter widths ('rut-remix'). In a 2020-2021 project, different mixture types were subjected to both kinds of recycling; reference mixtures, and mixtures modified with aramid fibres, FEP elastomer pellets, polymer, Storelastic rubber additive, recycled asphalt shingles, steel slag, and soft bitumen. This paper (Part II) presents the results of an extensive laboratory test plan at the bitumen scale. Asphalt mixture cores were recovered from four roads, and the bitumen was extracted fortesting. Various tests were performed on the bitumens in original state (aged, before recycling) and after recycling (remix or rut-remix), including FT-IR, DSR, MSCR, as well as bitumen content, penetration, and softening point. The master curves were constructed for all bitumens. Gradations are also presented herein. The effect of remix/rut-remix is evaluated via changes in all measured properties (including Glover-Rowe) before and after recycling, over a wide range of temperatures. The results complement the mixture-scale data and provide a comprehensive database of bitumen performance for an extended group of materials. Data appendices are accessible from the link at the bottom of the page.]]></description>

      <title>Road performance and mechanism of Hot in-place recycling asphalt mixture modified by direct-to-plant SBS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2333607</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study aims to supplement the degraded SBS components and improve the road-related properties of Hot in-place recycling (HIR) asphalt mixtures. Under the direct-to-plant process, a composite rejuvenating agent (SBS-CRA) composed of instant SBS, regenerant, and coupling agent is used to regenerate the HIR asphalt/asphalt mixture. Explore the effects of SBS-CRA on the properties and chemical composition of extracted asphalt using rheological and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy tests. Evaluate the road-related properties and microstructure of SBS-CRA modified HIR asphalt mixtures under the direct-to-plant process through high and low temperature, water stability, fatigue, and scanning electron microscopy tests. And conduct performance verification by paving the test road. The research results indicate that the SBS-CRA can promote extracted asphalt's low-temperature behavior and viscosity while maintaining excellent high-temperature behavior. Under the direct-to-plant process, the SBS-CRA modified HIR asphalt mixture's high and low-temperature behavior and water stability comply with the specified requirements. After SBS-CRA regeneration, the asphalt on the surface of RAP material is smooth. Considering the road-related properties of SBS-CRA modified HIR asphalt mixture, the optimal recommended dosage of SBS-CRA is 5%, and the optimal mixing time of SBS-CRA and RAP material is recommended to be 120 s. At a 5% SBS-CRA content, the fatigue life of the HIR asphalt mixture is 407.9 times higher than that of the neat asphalt mixture. The on-site test results show that the freeze-thaw splitting strength ratio of the HIR asphalt mixture is 88.76%, which meets the specification requirements. The laboratory and on-site test results have proven that applying SBS-CRA in HIR technology is feasible.]]></description>

      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2310677</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Hot in-place recycling allows the rehabilitation of worn asphalt pavement with minimal resources. However, it is limited by the heating rate of asphalt pavement. Temperature field distribution was calculated and analyzed in traditional single-stage heating technology (SHT) with constant temperature heating mode. Multi-stage heating technology (MHT) was proposed to improve the heating rate by decreasing the depth to which the asphalt pavement was heated at a given time. The asphalt pavement temperature fields were calculated for SHT and MHT. The calculation results accurately described the temperature field of the asphalt pavement, and the heating rate of MHT was over half that of SHT.]]></description>
