Resiliency of Paving Materials Containing Warm Mix Technologies

In response to Hurricane Katrina, a multi-year study was performed for the US Department of Homeland Security to improve disaster recovery from flooding by way of emergency paving materials. This work was followed by several years of field aging research funded by the Mississippi Department of Transportation and supported by private industry. Chemical warm mix technologies were incorporated in all of this work, and this paper assesses data collected over several years to assess the resiliency of paving materials containing chemical additives when they are initially used in challenging conditions such as emergency paving requiring very long haul times. This paper showed asphalt is a resilient material that should be part of conversations on how to respond to extreme events such as hurricanes or other natural disasters. Chemical warm mix technologies can simultaneously facilitate longer haul distances and keep the residual material less crack prone for service over time.
