EDC-1: Warm Mix Asphalt | Federal Highway Administration Page 1 of 2 U.S. Department of Transportation hoo t Federal Highway Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 202-366-4000 Center for Accelerating Innovation Warm Mix Asphalt Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is the generic term for a variety of technologies that allow producers of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavement material to lower temperatures at which the material is mixed and placed on the road. It is a proven a technology that can; + Reduce paving costs. * Extend the paving season. * Improve asphalt compaction. « Allow asphalt mix to be hauled longer distances. * Improve working conditions by reducing exposure to fuel emissions, fumes, and odors, Lower temperatures, lower costs, more opportunities. WMA production methods use temperatures 30 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit lower than traditional hot-mix asphalt. Because less energy is needed to heat the asphalt mix, less fuel is needed to produce WMA. Fuel consumption during WMA manufacturing is typically reduced by 20percent. In paving projects, the greater the temperature difference between the asphalt mix and the outside temperature, the faster the mix cools, Since faster cooling effects durability, cold ambient temperatures adversely affect hot-mix asphalt. Relative to HMA, WMA cools more slowly allowing WMA to be successfully placed in lower temperatures. As a result, WMA extends the paving season. It also makes night paving more feasible. Additionally, WMA saves time in production as well as in surfacing roads. Because WMA makes compaction easier, cost savings are achieved by reducing time and labor spent compacting the mix. Lower temperatures also permit more asphalt mix to be hauled for longer distances, reducing transportation costs. How does it work? WMA technologies reduce the viscosity (the thickness) of the asphalt binder so that asphalt aggregates can be coated at lower temperatures. The key is the addition of additives (water-based. organic, chemical, or hybrids) to the asphalt mix. The additives allow the asphalt binders und asphalt aggregates to be mixed at the lower temperatures. Reducing the viscosity also makes the mixture easier to manipulate and compact at the lower temperature, Better performance Proper compaction is critical to well-performing pavements, One indication of proper compaction is density. Achieving proper density is important because most asphalt paved Federally-funded highways are accepted based on their density. WMA is a compaction tool that can help achieve proper density and improve pavement performance goals. WMA is also versatile. It has been used successfully in a range of pavement thicknesses. It is durable enough to withstand high traffic demands. WMA has been used in all types of asphalt concrete: dense-graded, stone matrix, porous, and mastic asphalt. Multiple WMA technologies are available. so the choice can be adapted to the temperatures and materials required. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/innovation/everydaycounts/edc-1/wma.cfin 02/20/2018 Warm-mix asphalt has been used successfully in Europe for more than 10 years. In the United States, WMA projects are now in more than 40 States. Adal Good for workers, good for the environment. Working conditions are much healthier with WMA. Both at the production plant and on the construction site, workers inhale far less smoke and dust. This reduction is particularly important in tunnels. where ventilation is reduced. Comments from workers have been highly positive. According to Brad Neitzke, a Materials Engineer for the Federal Lands Highway, a Division of FHWA, "Certainly. warm-mix improved working conditions at the paving site. The crew's first reaction was to say, "There's no smoke!" WMA also produces fewer emissions. making it possible for paving to be done on some days when the air quality would typically put a halt to paving. A State transportation official recently attested that "On non-attainment days. when the air quality is bad, we often get shut down and are unable to pave. But with warm-mix [asphalt]. because the emissions are teduced, we might be able to pave even on days when the air quality is not the best.” Internationally recognized. WMA is clearly an important technology for the 21st century. The World of Asphalt's "People, Plants, and Paving Training Program" focused attention to WMA. with multiple sessions at its 2010 conference. At least 14 State Highway Agencies have adopted specifications to accommodate WMA. and more than 40 States have roads paved with WMA. This green technology is increasing the quality of our roads and our environment.

Some modifications to HMA plants may be necessary to accommodate the WMA technologies as noted in Section 406.03 Construction. Production and paving temperatures may need to be increased for higher recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) contents, increased haul distances, decreased ambient temperatures, or other WMA project specific conditions. All provisions for the production and placement of conventional HMA mixtures as stipulated in Standard Specification for Construction and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects (FP), Section 403 are in force except as noted below. 406.01 Description Construct one or more courses of plant produced warm mix asphalt (WMA) pavement on a prepared foundation, using virgin aggregate or a combination of virgin and/or reclaimed aggregate material (RAM) and prescribed manufactured WMA additives and/or WMA plant process modifications. Use of RAP materials, consisting of cold milled, crushed, or processed bituminous asphalt mixture are permitted at the current 25 percentages, provided that the mixture meets all the requirements of these specifications. 406.02 Material WMA may be produced by one or a combination of several technologies involving HMA plant foaming processes and equipment, mineral additives, or chemicals that allow the reduction of mix production temperatures to within 185°F to 275°F. (Note: The upper lemperature range is appropriate for modified asphalt binders and WMA mixtures which include higher percentages of reclaimed asphalt pavement.) Provide materials as specified in: Aggregate Subsection 703.07 or 703.17 Antistrip additive Subsection 702.08 Asphalt binder Subsection 702.01 Mineral Filler Subsection 725.05 Recycled Asphalt Pavement Subsection 703.19 Recycling Agent Subsection 702.06 406.03 Construction A. Mix Design. Develop and submit a job mix formula for each mixture according to AASHTO R 35. Each job mix formula must be capable of being produced, placed, and compacted as specified. Apply all mix design requirements for HMA to the development of the WMA mix design. Submit a written job mix formula for review and approval at least 28 days before production, or when sources of asphalt binder, aggregates, WMA additives, or other components of the mix change. Submit the following information: All information required in the report section of AASHTO R 35, 1. 2. WMA technology and/or WMA additives information. 3. WMA technology manufacturer’s established recommendations for usage. 4. WMA technology manufacturer’s established target rate for water and additives, the acceptable variation for production, and documentation showing the impact of excessive production variation. 5. WMA technology material safety data sheets (MSDS), 6. Documentation of past WMA technology field applications including project type, project owner, tonnage, location, mix design, mixture volumetrics, field density, and performance. 7. Temperature range for mixing, 8. Temperature range for compacting. 9. Asphalt binder performance grade test data over the range of WMA additive percentages proposed for use. 10. WMA mixture performance test results. 11. Laboratory test data, samples and sources of all mi xture components, and asphalt binder viscosity-temperature relationships. B. Additives. Use anti-stripping additives, silicone additives, WMA additives, and WMA technologies as specified. Comply with approved mix design quantities. Confirm the addition rate through field tests performed during production. Comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations for incorporating additives and WMA technologies into the mix. Comply with manufacturer’s recommendations regarding receiving, storage, and delivery of additives. Maintain supplier recommendations on file at the asphalt mixing plant and make available for reference while producing WMA. C. Sampling. Perform sampling according to the following standards: |. Aggregate. AASHTO T 2. 2. Asphalt Binder. AASHTO T 40. 3. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) Plant Mix. AASHTO T 168. D. Weather Limitations. 1. Place WMA mixtures only on dry, unfrozen surfaces and only when weather conditions allow for Proper production, placement, handling, and compacting. 2. Meet Table 401-2 placement temperatures. E. Equipment. Use equipment and WMA technologies capable of prod ucing an asphalt mixture that meet specification requirements and is workable at the minimum placement and compaction temperature desired, regardless of storage or haul distance considerations. |. Asphalt Mixing Plant. Meet AASHTO M 156 and FP Subsection 401.04. Modify the asphalt mixing plant as required by the manufacturer to introduce the WMA technology. Plant modifications may include additional plant instrumentation, the installation of asphalt binder foaming systems and/or WMA additive delivery systems, tuning the plant burner and adjusting the flights in order to operate at lower production temperatures and/or reduced tonnage. (Note: Implementation of best management practices in the control of aggregate moisture content prior to introduction to the drying or mixing drum is highly recommended in order to achieve the maximum benefit of WMA technology.) Combine and mix the dried aggregates and asphalt binder to meet the job mix formula. Ensure a minimum of 95 percent uniform coating of aggregates according to AASHTO T 195. Correct procedures if storing or holding causes segregation, excessive heat loss, or a reduced quality mixture. Properly dispose of mixture which does not meet specifications. G. Preparing Base or Existing Surface. Clear surface of debris and deleterious material. Apply and cure tack coat before placing the WMA. Apply a tack coat on all surfaces, curbs, gutters, manholes, or other structure surfaces, that will be in contact with the WMA. Repair damaged areas of the base or existing surface. Restore the existing surface or base to a uniform grade and cross section before placing the mix. H. Pre-paving Requirements. Prior to placing any WMA mix, produce a sufficient amount of WMA mix to properly calibrate the plant and procedures using the mix design approved for mainline construction, The Engineer will sample and test the WMA mix thus produced for the following: Voids in mineral aggregate (VMA): Asphalt binder content; Gradation; Air voids; and Tensile strength ratio (or Hamburg wheel tracking test for moisture damage) WA wo Heat WMA field samples, transported to the laboratory, to the field production temperature, or lower, when reheating is required for WMA mixture testi ng. (Note: Field produced WMA loose mix samples which are immediately compacted and tested, without reheating, may produce lower voids in mineral aggregate and lower air voids test results when compared to reheated samples. This should be validated during the test strip or initial production lot. One possible remedy is to cool the WMA sample to room temperature and reheat to a temperature that is less than or equal to the WMA field production temperature before laboratory compaction. This will minimize the WMA technology's effects on the test results and ensures the sample is not excessively aged.) Place no WMA mixture that fails to meet specification requirements. WMA mixture not meeting the requirements may be used in the construction of temporary facilities when approved by the Engineer. Construct a control strip or initial production lot with production materials and equipment. Select compacting methods to meet the specified density. The Engineer will take random loose mix and core samples to verify compliance with job mix and specification requirements. Reconstruct the test strip or initial production lot if the job mix formula, the compacting method, or compacting equipment changes, or if results do not meet specifications. 1. Spreading and Finishing. Spread and finish the mixture with asphalt pavers to specified grade and thickness. Hand place material in areas inaccessible to mechanical spreading and finishing equipment. Maintain a consistent supply of mixture to ensure uninterrupted paving. Minimize inconvenience to traffic and protect existing and finished surfaces. Leave only short lane sections, normally less than [26 ft (8 m)], where the abutting lane is not placed the same day, or according to Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) traffic safety requirements. J. Compacting. Compact immediately after spreading and before the WMA mixture falls below the minimum job mix design compaction temperature. Discontinue paving if unable to achieve the specified density before the mixture cools below the minimum recommended WMA job mix design compaction temperature. Provide the number, weight, type, and sequence of rollers necessary to compact the mixture without displacing, cracking, or shoving. Roll the WMA mixture parallel to the centerline. Begin rolling superelevated curves at the low side and continue to the high side, overlapping longitudinal passes parallel to the centerline. Maintain a uniform roller speed with the drive wheels nearest the paver. Operate vibratory rollers uniformly at the manufacturer’s recommended speed and frequency. Continue rolling to eliminate all roller marks and to achieve the minimum 92 percent of laboratory density as determined according to AASHTO T 209. Maintain the line and grade of the edge during rolling. Prevent the mixture from adhering to the rollers by using very small quantities of detergent or other approved release material. Hand compact areas inaccessible to rollers. The Engineer will take random tests of the compacted pavement to verify specification compliance. At no cost to the Agency, remove and replace mixture that does not meet specification requirements or that becomes contaminated with foreign materials. Remove defective materials for the full thickness of the course by saw cutting the sides perpendicular and parallel to the direction of traffic. Coat saw cut edges with bituminous materials and replace the defective material with specification materials. K. Joints. Protect ends of a freshly laid mixture from damage by rollers. Form transverse joints to expose the full depth of the course. Apply a tack coat on transverse and longitudinal joint contact surfaces immediately before paving. Construct all longitudinal joints within 12 in. (300 mm) of the lane lines. Offset longitudinal and transverse joints on succeeding lifts 6 inches (150 mm) to 12 inches (300 mm) from the joint in the layer immediately below. Create the longitudinal joint in the top layer along the centerline of two-lane highways or at the lane lines of roadways with more than two lanes. L. Surface Tests. The Engineer will test pavement surfaces to verify compliance with FP Subsection 401.1 6, smoothness and texture requirements. Correct pavement surfaces that do not meet specification requirements by cold milling, diamond grinding, overlaying, or removing and replacing according to the following: a. Diamond Grinding. Diamond grind final pavement surfaces exposed to vehicle traffic to the required surface tolerance and cross section. Remove and dispose of all waste material. b. Cold Milling. Cold mill intermediate pavement surfaces to the required surface tolerance and cross section. Remove and dispose of all waste materials. c. Overlaying. Use specification materials for overlays. Overlay the full width of the underlying pavement surface. Place a minimum recommended overlay thickness of [1.6 in. (40 mm)]. Use only one overlay. d. Removing and Replacing. Replace rejected areas with WMA pavement materials that meet specification requirements. Test the corrected surface area. Complete all corrections before determining pavement thickness. 406.04 Measurement The Engineer will measure work acceptably completed as specified in Subsection 109.02. The Engineer will base quantities of asphalt binder on the theoretical mass incorporated into accepted product as verified by samples taken according to Subsection 702.01. 406.05 Payment Include costs of plant startup operations, considering both labor and materials, in the price bid for the mixture in place, The Agency will pay for accepted quantities at the contract unit price as follows: Pay Item Pay Unit (A) Asphalt Binder ton (Mg), gal (L) , (B) WMA Plant Mix—Type ton (Mg), yd? (m?) Such payment is full compensation for furnishing all materials, equipment, labor, and incidentals to complete the work as specified.
