The use of phase-change materials (PCMs) in asphalt mixture is expected to solve some problems related to asphalt-pavement temperature, such as rutting behaviors and urban heat island effect. This study mainly evaluated the thermal and mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures with and without various PCMs (PCM-L, PCM-Z) using laboratory performance tests. The experimental tests included thermal conductivity and diffusivity, volumetric heat capacity, indoor temperature changes versus time when heated or cooled, indirect tensile strength, high-temperature rutting, and low-temperature cracking. In addition, a hot disk thermal constants analyzer was used to measure the thermal constants of asphalt mixtures. The results showed that different PCMs had different effects on the thermal constants of asphalt mixtures. Compared with control sample, the sample with PCM-L showed a higher thermal conductivity, whereas the sample with PCM-Z had a lower thermal conductivity. Moreover, PCM-Z exhibited a more-significant phase-change adjusting-temperature effect on asphalt mixtures than PCM-L. However, the addition of PCM to asphalt mixtures resulted in a decreased indirect tensile strength and a weakened rutting resistance, but the effect of PCM-Z was smaller than that of PCM-L. In addition, the asphalt mixture with PCM-Z exhibited better cracking resistance than the mixture with PCM-L and control mixture. Therefore, it is recommended to use PCM-Z in asphalt mixtures to solve the problem of pavement at high temperatures.
Segregation of hot mix asphalt is a recurring problem in the paving industry. There is little documented research that quantifies the effect of segregation on mix properties and pavement performance. Many state highway agencies are embracing performance based quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) programs but only a few states have performed studies to quantify the effect of segregation on pavement performance. This study was conducted on four newly constructed pavements which had noticeable spots of segregation. Cores were obtained from both segregated and non-segregated sections of the four pavements. The unit weights of the pavements were determined using a thin-lift nuclear gauge. The change in gradation on the 4.75 mm sieve was compared with asphalt content, nuclear gauge unit weight, core unit weight, and macro texture to determine if an indicator test could quantify segregation. The cores were tested for moisture sensitivity, fatigue life, and indirect tensile strength to determine the effect of segregation on performance.
