  • 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 stiffnessG*/sin(delta) ; was recommended.
