NCHRP 09-47A [Completed]

Properties and Performance of Warm Mix Asphalt Technologies

  Project Data
Funds: $1,121,000
Research Agency: National Center for Asphalt Technology--Auburn University
Principal Investigator: Randy West
Effective Date: 7/13/2009
Completion Date: 3/10/2014

The objectives of this project were to (1) establish relationships among engineering properties of WMA binders and mixes and the field performance of pavements constructed with WMA technologies, (2) determine relative measures of performance between WMA and conventional HMA pavements, (3) compare production and laydown practices between WMA and HMA pavements (including necessary plant adjustments to optimize plant operations when producing WMA), and (4) provide relative emissions measurement of WMA technologies as compared to conventional HMA technologies.
