... 76 • 2005–2010 -- Additional performance (rut testing) and durability (permeability)
From page 76...
... 77 • Likely to show an accumulation of coarser particles behind the paver screed at the auger gear box (center of screed) , at screed extensions, and at the outside edges of the screed (e.g., longitudinal joints)
From page 77...
... 78 Between 2005 and 2010, performance testing for mixture approval was added to GDOT's mix design procedures. The Hamburg wheel tracking device is used to evaluate the mixture rutting potential.
From page 78...
... 79 – Mix RAP aggregate remaining at the end of ignition oven testing increasing percentages of virgin asphalt in increments of 0.25% to 0.5%. • Part 2: – Preheat RAP to a temperature achieved during dry mixing at the plant.
From page 79...
... 80 would be measured for the asphalt mixture produced at the plant will be 5.93%. Step 4: Performance and Durability Check Additional samples are prepared using the COAC, and rutting potential (APA rut testing)
From page 80...
... 81 the percentage of RAP increases to 25% or more, the clients are more likely to specify the RAP asphalt availability factor. From four to six agencies specify the RAS or combination of RAP/RAS asphalt availability factors.
From page 81...
... 82 burning. The difference between what is burned and the optimum is the (ignition oven)
From page 82...
... 83 Additional comments provided by the contractors included: • Recycled materials are dried before batching: – In air – In an oven at: n 140°F (60°C)
From page 83...
... 84 Performance testing of mixtures is limited to using the APA to evaluate the rutting potential during the mix design. A few of the contractors indicated that they do not evaluate rut resistance; however, some of their clients do use the Hamburg (dry, wet)
From page 84...
... 85 RAP may need to limit the silo storage time to prevent the mixture from getting too stiff. Batch plant (three contractors)
From page 85...
... 86 Contaminates do not mix with the other mixture components and result in a nonuniform asphalt mixture. Contaminates can sometimes be identified in the finished pavement surface.
From page 86...
... 87 do not cool as quickly as thin lifts. Using a material transfer device helps keep the mixture blended (i.e., limits segregation)
From page 87...
... 88 Missouri DOT changed its specifications in 2012 to address previously identified mix design problems for BP-1, BP-2, BP-3, and bituminous base mixtures. The specification changes include: • Lowered design air voids to 3.5%.
From page 88...
... 89 • Year constructed, • Design type (wear or nonwear) , • Mix design record, • Asphalt performance grade, • Total asphalt content (recycled asphalt plus virgin asphalt)
From page 89...
... 90 Year Type (lift in.) PG Grade Lift Thickness RAP, % Total Asphalt Content Virgin Asphalt Added No.

... 94 to calculate the percentage of uncoated, partially coated, and completely coated particles. Visual evaluations showed: • Duplication of dry mixing at the batch plant was not replicated in the laboratory.
