This study evaluated the effect of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) on virgin binder true grade and fracture energy density (FED).
State highway agencies are increasingly intersted in using recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in hot mix asphalt (HMA) applications, yet many agencies share common questions about the effect of RAS on the performance of HMA. Previous research has allowed for only limited laboratory testing and field surveys. The complexity of RAS materials and lack of past experiences led to the creation of Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) Program TPF-5(213). The primary goal of this study is to address research needs of state DOT and environmental officials to determine the best practices for the use of recycled asphalt shingles in hot-mix asphalt applications. Agencies participating in the study include Missouri (lead state), California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Federal Highway Administration. The agencies conducted demonstration projects that focused on evaluating different aspects (factors) of RAS that include RAS grind size, RAS percentage, RAS source (post-consumer versus post-manufactured), RAS in combination with warm mix asphalt technology, RAS as a fiber replacement for stone matrix asphalt, and RAS in combination with ground tire rubber. Field mixes from each demonstration project were sampled for conducting the following tests: dynamic modulus, flow number, four-point beam fatigue, semi-circular bending, and binder extraction and recovery with subsequent binder characterization. Pavement condition surveys were then conducted for each project after completion. The demonstration projects showed that pavements using RAS alone or in combination with other cost saving technologies (e.g., WMA, RAP, GTR, SMA) can be successfully produced and meet state agency quality assurance requirements. The RAS mixes have very promising prospects since laboratory test results indicate good rutting and fatigue cracking resistance with low temperature cracking resistance similar to the mixes without RAS. The pavement condition of the mixes in the field aft

The RAS mixes have very promising prospects since laboratory test results indicate good rutting and fatigue cracking resistance with low temperature cracking resistance similar to the mixes without RAS. The pavement condition of the mixes in the field after two years corroborated the laboratory test results. No signs of rutting, wheel path fatigue cracking, or thermal cracking were exhibited in the pavements. However, transverse reflective cracking from the underlying jointed concrete pavement was measured in the Missouri, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, and Minnesota projects.
Recycling inert construction wastes is one of the approaches to promote sustainable development. In North America, the majority of steep roofs are covered with asphalt shingles. Re-roofing and manufacturing of asphalt shingles create a large amount of waste. This paper examines the use of recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in open-graded friction course (OGFC). OGFC mixtures with and without RAS were prepared and tested for rutting resistance, indirect tensile strength, moisture-induced damage, and dynamic modulus. The dynamic modulus was also used to examine the responses of flexible pavement under assumed structures, temperature levels, and loading conditions. In addition, a section of major interstate highway in the United States surfaced with the RAS OGFC mixture of this study was used for performance monitoring. The use of RAS in OGFC was found to enhance its rutting performance, generally increase indirect tensile strengths of the tested specimens, generate pavement structural responses similar to those of a conventional OGFC mixture under the same loading conditions, and improve pavement's fatigue life. Except for clogging, no obvious distress was found in the trial section after being used for two and a half years. Future research is suggested for the development of an appropriate laboratory evaluation method for the assessment of OGFC durability.
