FOAMED BITUMEN MIX: SOIL OR ASPHALT?

The paper describes research that involved characterization of a range of foamed bitumen mixes in the laboratory. The test results suggest that although foamed bitumen mixes can have some engineering properties which are comparable to those of hot mix asphalt concrete or other stabilized soil mixes, they have some unique and distinct characteristics. It is also shown that while the stiffness of foamed bitumen mixes may be as high as that of typical asphalt nixes, however, the resilient nodulus of foamed bitumen mixes varies with the applied strain.
