Abstract
Moisture sensitivity has been identified as an area of concern for warm mix asphalt (WMA) mixtures. To evaluate WMA's influence on moisture damage, three field-produced mixes were selected for evaluation. All WMA mixes studied used the same chemical WMA additive. The objectives are to compare hot-mix and WMA performance in moisture susceptibility tests, compare indirect tensile strength and Hamburg performance of pavement-cores and laboratory compacted samples, investigate reheating effect of WMA compared to hot-mix asphalt for quality-control purposes, and understand the sensitivity of WMA's stripping inflection point to oven-aging time and temperatures. Tests indicate pavement-cores performed better than gyratory samples in the Hamburg. Trends indicate Hamburg results are dependent upon temperature and higher temperatures correlate with better performance.
