A REVIEW OF STONE MATRIX ASPHALT USING WARM MIX ADDITIVE

Abstract

With expanding worries of a worldwide temperature alteration and fatigue of green house gasses, the asphalt industry is searching for options for hot mix asphalt (HMA). Warm mix asphalt (WMA) utilizes an option innovation to the traditional hot mix asphalt and has increased the quality in the present situation. Warm mix asphalt helps in the generation of the bituminous asphalt material to bring down temperature at which material is blended and put on the surface. Rediset is one such Warm mix asphalt promoter accessible. The present investigation expects to utilize Warm mix technology in Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) by utilizing the Rediset as Warm mix additive. To assess the execution, various laboratory tests are studied, for example, Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS), Retained Stability Test (RST), Creep, Rutting and Fatigue Test.
