2012 Study Tour Key Topics

Topic 2: High performance asphalt & bindersOverview of reasons• Bituminous binders key component in the performance and

service life of bituminous surfacings & asphalt pavements• About 90% of the Australian all weather road network length is

surfaced with sprayed seals about 50% of binder usage• Need to ensure optimum asphalt and seals performance in the

field, and to promote best practices suitable to be adapted and adopted in Australia. Seeking details on:o new developments and test methods in high performance asphalt and

bituminous materials (e.g. HiMA /EME, PMB, Emulsion)o actions taken by European and others (e.g. binder manufacturers,

asphalt producers and researchers) to overcome field problems (e.g. climate change)

o correlation between laboratory test results and field trials

Topic 2: High performance asphalt & bindersWhat is High Performance Asphalt?• What does it look like?• How is this different to what we currently do?• Isn’t what we do good enough?• For Heavy Duty roads – what’s your pavement configuration?

Three French Methods of achieving High Modulus Asphalt:• EME (Enrobesa Module Elevé)• GB5• GAB II

All methods move asphalt bases to Higher Modulus resulting in increase in load spreading and hence increased capacity.

EME: High Modulus Asphalt:• Standard Dense mix gradings• 10/14/20 mix sizes• Special Hard Binder: Stiffness

Rut Resistance• Increased binder content:
