3E warm mix asphalt: Assessment of mechanical performances and workability

The studies on 3E Warm Mixes Asphalt (WMA) are a major topic in Colas Group. We try to introduce new techniques and to verify that mechanical performances are maintained. It is proved that the use of WMA rather than Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) allows obtaining similar characteristics in term of compacity, water resistance, modulus, rutting and fatigue resistances. Examples of work sites for which a high level of performances is needed are presented. In these occasions, huge quantities of 3E mixes with or without reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) were laid down and perfectly satisfied requirements.
