摘要

Rejuvenators used for hot mix recycling can be classified broadly into recycled rejuvenators (RR) and commercial rejuvenators (CR). A comparative evaluation between two RR and two CR is done in this study. A series of tests on rejuvenators (Brookfield viscometer, rolling thin film oven and Fourier Transformed Infrared Radiation tests), recycled binder blends (zero shear viscosity, frequency sweep, multiple stress creep recovery) and recycled mixes (uniaxial cyclic compression test and Indirect tensile asphalt cracking test) are performed. FTIR spectra revealed that all rejuvenators comprise aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, which are similar to the maltenes portion of asphalt. Test results showed that RR are thermally stable than CR and recycled binder blends with RR are softer than CR. Hence, RR have higher cracking resistance and cross-over frequency, but lower Zero Shear Viscosity and rutting resistance. Also, recycled mixes with RR showed higher irrecoverable strains than mixes with CR. On top of performing well in rutting, recycled mixes with CR also showed better or comparable fatigue performance at 40% recycled content. From the ranking analysis, it is concluded that RR outperformed CR, and weight change after RTFO test has the best correlation with the global total rank value (GTRV).
