Abstract:Foamed asphalt stabilized base (FASB) combines reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), recycled
concrete (RC), and/or graded aggregate base (GAB) with a foamed asphalt binder to produce a
partially stabilized base material. The objectives of this study are to determine for Maryland
conditions: (a) FASB mix design procedures; (b) typical engineering and structural design
properties; (c) guidelines for FASB production and placement; and (d) best practices for
construction quality assurance. The study consisted of three major components: (a) laboratory
evaluation of FASB mix design procedures; (b) field evaluation of in-place FASB stiffness, and
especially the increase in this stiffness with time due to curing; and (c) direct laboratory
measurement of the performance related properties of FASB, specifically dynamic modulus and
permanent deformation resistance. Recommended default design values for resilient modulus and
structural layer coefficient are 300 – 400 ksi and 0.30 – 0.35, respectively. The study findings also
provided guidance for the development of draft specifications.
