OUTLINE
 Objective
 Summary of Previous Work
 Phase I- Additional Work:
 Resistance to Permanent Deformation
 Resistance to Fatigue Cracking
 Phase II:
 Materials
 Mix Designs /TSR
 Resistance Moisture Damage
 Resistance to Permanent Deformation
 Conclusions and Recommendations
OBJECTIVE
 Evaluate the use of WMA additives with polymer
modified and terminal blend tire rubber asphalt
mixtures according to NDOT and Caltrans
specifications.
 Phase I – Additional Work (existing Mix Designs):
 Performance Tests
 Phase II:
 Mix Designs
 Moisture Damage
 Performance Test
SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS WORK
 Hveem Mix Design for Heavy Traffic (according to NDOT
Type 2C and Caltrans ¾” max Type A specifications)
 1 Aggregate Source (meets both NDOT and Caltrans
specifications)
 3 Binder types:
 PG64-22
 PG64-28NV/PM (polymer modified)
 PG64-28NV/TR (terminal blend tire rubber)
 2 WMA Additives:
 Advera
 Sasobit
 2 Anti-strip additives:
 Liquid anti-strip: Morlife 5000 at 0.5% by wt of binder
 Hydrated lime: 1.0% dwa added on wet aggregates
SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS WORK
 Properties Evaluated
 Impact of Residual Moisture of Untreated WMA
Mixtures to Moisture Damage
 Impact of Warm Mix Additives on the Resistance to
Moisture Damage of Anti-strip Treated WMA
Mixtures
 Impact of Long Term-Aging on the Resistance to
Moisture Damage of WMA Mixtures.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
 WMA Additives Evaluated:
1. Advera :
a) Showed a moderate reduction of the FN compared
to the control HMA for all Mixtures tested.
b) Demonstrated a high resistance to fatigue cracking
at high strains and a lower resistance at low strains
in comparison with the control HMA for PG64-22
and PG64-28NV Mixtures. Opposite behavior was
observed with the PG64-28NV/TR Mixtures.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
 WMA Additives Evaluated:
2. Sasobit :
a) The resistance to fatigue cracking of mixtures with
Sasobit was similar to the Advera mixtures.
b) The Addition of Sasobit into the mixture
significantly improved the FN.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
 WMA Additives Evaluated:
3. Evotherm :
a) A minimal to moderate reduction in the E* was
observed due to the moisture damage.
b) Introducing an anti-strip agent into the mixtures
helped improving their resistance to moisture
damage.
c) Reduction in the FN for all mixtures after the
addition of Evotherm.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
