Investigation of Warm Mix Asphalt Additives Using the Science of Tribology to Explain Improvements in Mixture Compaction Sebastian Puchalski – Kraton Polymers Prof. Hussain Bahia – University of Wisconsin-Madison

• Good HMA compaction commonly translates into high mix density, which is related to pavement quality and durability. • HMA compaction is a complex process. Yet, in terms of asphalt binder properties, only rotational viscosity is commonly associated with the mix compactibility. • Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) made its way into industry as a way to produce asphalt pavements at reduced mixing/construction temperatures. • WMA effect can be achieved via:
Foaming asphalt Reducing asphalt viscosity Using chemical additives
• Chemical additive technologies may encompass categories such as surfactants or friction modifiers.
Introduction
• While foaming and viscosity reduction technologies are generally understood in terms of their effect on HMA compaction, the chemical additive technologies are not. • Objective of this presentation is to discuss a method which quantifies the lubricating
effect of some chemical additives.

BACKGROUND DATA AND MATERIALS

Viscosity of binders presented in the previous slide is not equal. Yet the difference is not large and goes both ways! Could the mentioned additives have a lubricating effect that is not captured via viscosity testing? To answer such question we must defer to the field of tribology.

According to Bhushan (2002) Tribo in Greek means rubbing. According to Google rubbing is Τριβή /triví ̱/ in Greek… …hence trivialogy? Goal: to understand the nature of interactions between two materials rubbing or sliding past each other and to understand the interfacial phenomena The phenomena can be classified as: • Friction • Wear • Adhesion In order to minimize such phenomena lubricant of a sort is typically in order.

Linking tribology to asphalt mix compaction let’s assume for now that: • wear in form of aggregate chipping off is not an issue • there are no appreciable adhesive tensile forces between aggregates (quite accurate) Then, the only phenomenon we must deal with is friction. Since we like to quantify things, let’s use a coefficient of friction, µ.
It is a simple ratio that can be easily measured. Keep in mind that the ratio is a system property (depends on substrates and lubricant)

Could it be because as mix temperatures rise, the aggregate/mastic particles start running into each other more often creating friction? Also, as viscosity is reduced due to temperature climb, the Sommerfeld number naturally pushes the lubrication mode to the left of the Stribeck curve!

strength, hardness.

MASTIC VISCOSITY CORRELATION
WWW.KRATON.COM 24
• Asphalt binder may act as a lubricant • Boundary lubrication regime has little dependence on lubricant’s viscosity as opposed to hydrodynamic regime Coefficient of friction • Boundary lubrication regime as evaluated in the test, showed to be sensitive to the presence of WMA additives • Coefficient of friction in boundary regime is dependent on aggregate substrate type • Boundary and hydrodynamic lubrication are factors in asphalt mix compaction • Boundary coefficient of friction cannot be directly related to improvements in mixture compaction . It may serve,
though, as an additional tool to help understand and evaluate WMA behavior. WMA additives • WMA additives may improve boundary coefficient of friction • Certain WMA additives may improve the boundary CoF regardless of aggregate substrate type, while others may
only work with a specific mineralogy
Mastic viscosity Mastic viscosity can be modeled as a function of boundary lubrication and binder viscosity.
OBSERVATIONS
WWW.KRATON.COM 25
• Warm mix additives affect asphalt concrete compaction
• It is important to look at asphalt as a lubricant at compaction temperatures
• Lubricating effect of warm mix additives cannot be solely captured through viscosity testing. Tribology should be used instead.
