Two major effects dominate aging of asphalt-aggregate mixtures: 1. loss of volatile components and oxidation in the construction phase (short-term aging); and 2. progressive oxidation of the in-place mixture in the field (long-term aging). Other factors may contribute to aging. In particular, molecular structuring may occur over

The results also demonstrate that aging mixtures in a compacted versus loose mixture state can determine whether the oxidation reaction is diffusion- or kinetics-controlled. The application of pressure and the aggregate interactions with the binder may also impact the oxidation reaction, suggesting that standard binder aging methods cannot ...

Asphalt can be modified by polymers, oligomers, and waxes made from polymeric material. The addition of polymer, oligomer, or wax can increase the softening point of the asphalt, decrease the penetration of the asphalt, and/or shorten the oxidation of the asphalt. In some embodiments, polymer, oligomer, or wax is added to an oxidized asphalt.
Oxidation -- a type of chemical reaction that occurs between binder and oxygen that changes the ... MIXTURE CONDITIONING OF HOT MIX ASPHALT (HMA) Samples of HMA prepared in the laboratory have different properties from mixtures produced in a HMA plant for a number of reasons. One of these reasons is that the HMA ages as the mixture
The oxidation of asphalt is a major cause of pavement failure. At a given temperature and pressure, the asphalt oxidizes in two stages: (1) a rapid-rate period followed by (2) a long period with constant oxidation rate. ...

Oxidative hardening is attributed primarily to the introduction of polar, oxygen-containing chemical functionalities on asphalt molecules causing increased molecular interactions. Some aromatization of asphalt molecules may also result from oxidation. These changes in chemical composition would be expected to increase asphalt hardening.
The two objectives for this research were to review the 2016 asphalt mixture specifications to determine whether changes were warranted that could lead to more durable asphalt mixtures and, if so, adjust the specification accordingly and construct test sections to ... Oxidation of the asphalt occurs more rapidly under this situation causing the ...

The oxidation of asphalt binders within an asphalt mixture were understood to potentially be influenced by the mixture characteristics (i.e. air void levels, binder content, etc.) and aggregate properties (i.e. aggregate absorption, gradation, etc.).
Asphalt ageing happens due to volatilisation, oxidation, and other chemical processes. Asphalt oxidation should be avoided because it leads to …
The oxidation step can be performed, for example, by introducing an oxidizing agent and, in some cases, a catalyst into the asphaltenes. A solvent …
This paper investigates the influence of mixture morphologies and microstructures on oxidative ageing of asphalt mixtures. For this, an oxidative ageing mechanism based on a diffusion–reaction process was developed. …

It was further determined that the influence of the oxidation changes in the binder had differing effects on the stiffness of the mixture as a function of age, thus leading to the conclusion that not only are the aggregate and mixture characteristics influential to the mixture stiffness and aging relationships, but the binder characteristics ...
The Effects of Asphalt Binder Oxidation on Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete Mixture Rheology and Fatigue Performance. (August 2006) Sung Hoon Jung, B.E., Soongsil University; M.E., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Charles J. Glover Asphalt oxidation causes major changes to binder properties and is hypothesized
The overall findings of the study indicated that both the aggregate and mixture characteristics influenced the oxidation rates of the binder, with the two binders oxidizing by similar amounts when aged in mixtures with the same characteristics (AFT and mixture air voids). The oxidation changes in the binder had differing effects on the ...

The oxidation of asphalt binders within an asphalt mixture were understood to potentially be influenced by the mixture characteristics (i.e. air void levels, binder content, etc.) and aggregate properties (i.e. aggregate absorption, gradation, etc.). Therefore, this study was conducted in order to investigate and quantify the effects different ...
AbstractTo understand the long-term performance degradation of asphalt, ultraviolet (UV) photo-oxidation has been used to accelerate the aging process. Three types of asphalt binders extracted from reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAPs) and one extracted from ...
Asphalt binders are composed of organic molecules, so they react with oxygen from the environment. This reaction is called oxidation and it is as natural as the browning of an apple or banana when exposed to the air. Oxidation causes the asphalt binder to lose the smaller asphalt molecules, often termed "volatiles" and changes the structure ...

The current state-of-the-art for evaluating asphalt mixtures for use on projects relies on either single-mechanism laboratory conditioning such as oxidation in AASHTO R30, or test methods that cannot accumulate combined effects such as indirect tensile strength in AASHTO T283.
Over time, the asphalt mix gets stiffer and brittle due to the oxidative aging of the asphalt binder, which increases the potential of thermal cracking development. Aging is not commonly considered as distress, but it significantly influences the …

Asphalt oxidative aging at constant temperature is characterized by a declining fast-rate period and a constant-rate period. While constant-rate reaction kinetics are known for many asphalt materials, much less is known about the equally important fast-rate region. Fifteen modified and unmodified asphalts were aged at five temperatures in 1 atm air, with samples …
Oxidation of asphalt is a major cause of pavement failure owing to hardening of the asphalt binder with accompanying changes in viscosity, separation of components, embrittlement and loss of cohesion and adhesion of the asphalt in the mix.
