Abstract:Mix design procedures for recycled asphalt pavements require the selection of
virgin asphalt binder or recycling agent. This research project was undertaken
to develop a procedure for selecting the performance grade (PG) of virgin
asphalt binder based on the Superpave PG grading system. Blending charts,
similar to the viscosity blending charts, were constructed and evaluated based
on test parameters obtained from the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). The
criteria for selection was based on Superpave peformance grading (PG)
specification, for example, G*/sin(delta)=1kPa minimum for unconditioned asphalt
binder, G*/sin(delta)6=2.2kPa minimum for rolling thin film oven (RTFO) residue,
G*sin(delta)=5MPa maximum for RTFO and pressure aging vessel (PAV) residue. The
criteria based on the fatigue parameter (G*sin(delta)=5MPa maximum for RTFO+PAV
residue) was determined to be too liberal and, therefore, was not recommended.
An alternative criteria based on the high temperature stiffness[G*/sin(delta)]
was recommended.
