Addition of rejuvenating oils to aged, dry asphaltic pavement materials to restore them to their original condition is a practice currently being used on many construction projects. Typically, the effect of rejuvenation is measured using standard mix design procedures such as stability. This research was aimed at providing information on the behavior of rejuvenated mixtures when subjected to accelerated aging such as repeated freezing and thawing and sustained high temperature. The nondestructive resilient modulus (MR) test was used to monitor the change in recycled mix from an old pavement, new mix made with virgin asphalt, and old mix rejuvenated with two commercially available admixtures. Results indicated that old mixtures continued to age rapidly and the rejuvenated mixtures behaved similarly to virgin mixtures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
