Abstract:Asphalt emulsions are gaining in popularity in the US and worldwide due to their lower application temperature, lower energy consumption, and lower viscosity than hot applied asphalts. About 3 million tons of emulsion is produced in the US, which accounts for 5% to 10% of the total asphalt consumption. However, much of the available information on asphalt emulsions is contained in patented literature rather than in easily accessible peer-reviewed journals, which leads to a lack of understanding about their applications, i.e., which type of emulsion to use in a particular situation. This study explored the potential of emulsified asphalts in the field of pavement engineering by comparing non-modified and polymer-modified emulsions.
