Abstract—Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) is an old technology, which involves in production, laying and compaction at a higher temperature, which emits more pollution and increases the energy requirement. The Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA), which is produced, laid and compacted in temperature, which is much lower than conventional mix. The WMA is produced by adding chemical additives to the bitumen during mixing to obtain same performance at lower temperature. The strength, durability and workability of asphalt paving mixtures have changed significantly due to the use of additives. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is an example of such additives, which lowers the temperature of the asphalt mix between 200C to 40°C as compared to conventional HMA. A research study was conducted to evaluate the Dense Bituminous concrete Mix with additives such as Sasobit, Evotherm, Rediset and Zycotherm. These additives were added as per the company specified optimum dosage to the Dense Bituminous concrete Mix(DBM)and the specimens with varying binder content of 4.50%, 5.50% and 6.50% were prepared. These specimens were tested for their volumetric properties by using Marshall Stability test such as Marshall Stability, Flow value, Air voids percentage, Voids filled with bitumen, Marshallquotient, the test results were obtained and correspondingly the results are analysed through graphs. According to the comparative analysis of DBM with different additives, the warm mix asphalt with Sasobit (WMA-S) of dosage 3% at Optimum Bitumen Content of 5.45% was found to be economical and satisfied all the aspects and represents the better performance.

I. INTRODUCTION

In development of the country and economic growth, construction sector plays a key role in it. In India, construction sector stands as the second largest economic activity while agriculture is the first largest economic activity. Currently, the roads are of Flexible pavement which is surfaced with Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). HMA is recognised as the high quality engineered paved material, since 130 years. The production and placement of HMA is modernized gradually during these periods. The production of HMA is from the combination of well graded aggregates and bitumen mixed together under high temperature of around 1500C to 1700C, through Batch Mix plant or Drum Mix plant. The main concern regarding production of HMA is, it requires large amount of energy with the release of gases to the environment. This created asphalt industry to look for an alternate material or technology which could reduce those facts. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is one of those technologies, originated in Europe. WMA allows in sufficient reduction in mixing and compaction temperature of the asphalt mixes by lowering the viscosity of the asphalt binders. WMA can be considered as the modified mixture of HMA which is produced, placed and compacted at 100C to 400C lower than the conventional method (HMA). This technique has been proved that, it provide various benefits including reduction in fuel consumption and emission, extension in construction season, improved compaction and liberal in construction practices. Due to the different mechanism in WMA preparation techniques, the physical and chemical properties can be altered. This results in various short term and long term behaviour. To evaluate this laboratory test of asphalt mixture with regards to various other pavement distress by using various other warm mix additives like Evotherm, Sasobit, Zycotherm and Redisetwith variation in temperature of mixing, compaction and laying. It is conduced based on Marshall Method of bitumen mix design. The Optimum Bitumen Content (OBC) of HMA &WMA is determined. Due to the different mechanism in WMA preparation techniques, the physical and chemical properties can be altered.

II. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY

Research work has been carried out on bituminous mixes with addition of chemical additives in bitumen with different dosage. However, the present work is carried out to study the various different properties of bituminous concrete mix with chemical additives when aggregate are heated. At present an attempt is made to investigate the volumetric properties of Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM) of grade I, having layer thickness 75-100 mm, and mixes for HMA & WMA using additives like Sasobit, Radiset, Evotherm, and Zycotherm.

A. Types of material selected Bitumen

In the present investigation unmodified bitumen of grade VG30 was used as the mean highest temperature in the investigated region is around 300C. The Bitumen used in this study was tested in laboratory for various physical properties like Penetration, ductility, Softening Point, Specific Gravity and Flash & Fire point were evaluated and the results are tabulated in following Tables3.1.

V. CONCLUSION

As per the basis of analysis of result obtained from the present investigation, the OBC of HMA was found 5.20% and for WMA-S is 5.45%, for WMA-R and WMA-E is 5.50% and for WMA-Z is 5.46%. The Flow value plays an important role in homogeneous mix but segregation occurs due to the presence of additives. HMA shows the lower flow value of 2.75mm which results in homogeneous mix. But among the WMA mixes, WMA-S with flow value 3.45mm at OBC 5.45% gives the reasonable flow value. Among overall mixes WMA-E gives the highest stability hence it is preferred as a replacement to HMA mix. By VMA, VFB, Bulk specific gravity, Marshal Quotient, air voids percent, Flow value and Marshal Stability of the WMA-S at OBC 5.45% is suggested at an economical dosage as a replacement for HMA mix.
