The introduction of shingle aggregate from RAS can have an effect on the gradation properties of the asphalt mixture. The d

10、esigner must determine the particle size and percentage of shingle aggregate present and adjust the new aggregate composition accordingly. 4.2. The introduction of RAS may affect new asphalt binder content requirements. The designer must determine the new asphalt binder content of the asphalt mixtur

11、e as part of the volumetric design procedure. 4.3. Although the amount of RAS in an asphalt mixture design is generally small, typically 3 to 5 percent, the non-asphalt components (aggregates and fibers) can have a significant effect on the mixture. Voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA) will generall

12、y increase due to the hard angular properties of the RAS granules as well as the fibers. Dust content of the RAS causes a reduction in VMA that is generally less than the increase from granules and fibers, resulting in a net VMA increase. Other properties influenced by the shingles include fine aggr

13、egate angularity and dustasphalt ratio. Note 2There are a number of unanswered questions regarding the effects of asphalt shingle binder on asphalt mixtures containing RAS. The properties of the shingle asphalt binder are much stiffer than paving asphalt binder. As a result, agencies typically limit

14、 use of RAS to a maximum of 5 percent by weight of the aggregate. 5. DETERMINING THE SHINGLE AGGREGATE GRADATION AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY 5.1. Collect a representative sample of RAS and proceed in accordance with T 164 or T 319 to extract the shingle asphalt binder. The size of the sample should be such

15、 that the amount of aggregate material recovered will meet the size requirements of the gradation procedure. Note 3Generally, 400 g of RAS is sufficient to provide the 300 g of aggregate needed for T 27. For T 319 extracting 400 g of RAS will meet the minimum sample size requirements. T 308 recommen

16、ds mix samples size of 1200 g, however, the test should be run with 400 g of RAS. If the ignition oven ventilation system cannot handle the exhaust, the sample may need to be run in two parts and the results combined. 5.2. Determine the shingle aggregate specific gravity by determining the theoretic

17、al maximum specific gravity (Gmm) of the RAS according to T 209 and calculating the effective specific gravity (Gse) of the aggregate according to Equation 1.

DETERMINING ADJUSTMENT TO THE

21、ASPHALT BINDER GRADE 6.1. Perform a volumetric mix design that includes all the components of the mixture including RAS or RAS and RAP according to R 35. Determine the design asphalt binder content (Pb). Asphalt binder contributed by the RAS is determined according to Equation 2: ( )( )bsa s bsP FP

22、P= (2) where: Pbsa= available percentage of asphalt binder in the RAS, expressed as a decimal; F = RAS asphalt binder availability factor, expressed as a decimal (see Note 6); Ps= percentage of RAS in the asphalt mixture, expressed as a decimal; and Pbs= percentage of asphalt binder in the RAS expre

23、ssed as a decimal. Note 5In R 35, non-available asphalt binder from RAS will automatically be included as part of the aggregates. In the equation for VMA, the percent aggregate is calculated as 100 minus the percent of asphalt binder. Percent asphalt binder does not include non-available asphalt bin

24、der from the RAS. Note 6The RAS asphalt binder availability factor is assumed to range from 0.70 to 0.85 for this practice. Additional research is required to define the interaction of asphalt binder from RAS. 6.2. For mixtures containing RAS and/or RAP, determine the percentage of available RAS asp

26、sed as a decimal (see Note 6); Ps= percentage of RAS in the asphalt mixture, expressed as a decimal; Pbs= percentage of asphalt binder in the RAS, expressed as a decimal; Pr= percentage of RAP in the asphalt mixture, expressed as a decimal; Pbr= percentage of asphalt binder in the RAP, expressed as

27、a decimal; and Pb= design asphalt binder content in the asphalt mixture, expressed as a decimal. 6.3. Adjust the asphalt binder grade using Pbsa(percent available RAS binder in the design asphalt binder content) and/or Pbst(percent available RAS binder and percent RAP binder in the design asphalt bi

28、nder content). Note 7As the percentage of asphalt binder from RAS increases, the combined asphalt binder in the mixture will increase in stiffness. Generally, experience has shown asphalt binder blends containing RAS asphalt binder will stiffen twice as fast as those containing RAP. That is, 5 perce

29、nt asphalt binder from RAS will typically stiffen a new asphalt binder about the same amount as 10 percent asphalt binder from RAP. Agencies should consider this information in determining binder grade adjustments to be used. The binder grade adjustment guidelines in Table 1 have been adapted from M
