Resumen

From the perspective of sustainability and environmental concerns, the use of cold-mix asphalt (CMA) and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is more advantageous than the use of hot mix asphalt (HMA) and warm mix asphalt (WMA). Some researchers used a mixture of CMA and RAP to improve the mechanical properties of pavement and made it more economical. However, only a few studies have focused on using a high content of RAP?particularly 100% RAP?as the virgin aggregate. Therefore, this study aims to analyse cold-mix asphalt (CMA) using 100% recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) instead of virgin aggregate raw materials and to determine the best mixture for the production of environmentally friendly asphalt. It is necessary to investigate the performance of CMA mixed with RAP in terms of the resilient modulus, indirect tensile strength, fatigue and rutting resistance. In this study, the percentage of bitumen emulsions added is 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, and 4%, along with 100% RAP material. The results indicate that the fatigue life of the RAP mixture increased by 49.34% with the addition of bitumen emulsion (BE) from 2% to 4%, while the wheel tracking test experienced a decrease in rutting depth along with an increase in BE dose of 4%, which was 9 mm. The mixture containing 4% asphalt emulsion has the best performance. The results suggested that increasing the BE dosage increases the resistance against rutting and fatigue.
