Effect of Process Parameters on Foam Bitumen-based Road Material Production at Ambient Temperature

This article describes a study which examined the production of foam bitumen-based bound graded aggregates using a batch cold-mix technique. The study analyzed the influence of the bitumen content and mixing parameters, such as the mixing system, mixing time, shaft speed, aggregates temperature, and foam characteristics. Among the results, it was found that most influential mixing parameter was the mixing temperature during mixing, which resulted from aggregates and foam temperatures. It was also shown that the cohesion of the compacted material is very dependent on the grading of the mastic particle before compaction.
