France’s Perspective on Warm Mix: Research and Practice Vincent Gaudefroy IFSTTAR - France

IFSTTAR – June 4, Definition of Warm Asphalt Mixes Any practical/technical mean To allow reduction of manufacturing and/or laying temperature While keeping the same performances as Hot Mix Asphalt With final performances achieved just after laying and cooling

IFSTTAR – June 4, Cold asphalt (°C) L Fuel /Ton Warm asphalt Hot mix asphalt HEATING VAPORIZATION DRYING Half-warm asphalt Terminology

Current practice of Warm asphalt in France

IFSTTAR – June 4, Development of WAM in France First studies and researches : Experimentation : Industrialization : since Applications in various conditions Any type of network, traffic, climate Any type of material (surface or base course) New construction and maintenance

IFSTTAR – June 4, Types of processes used in France Use of binder additives to modify binder/aggregate interface and ensure coating at low temperature Use of bitumen foaming (pressure or not) By keeping residual water in the aggregates By using water in aqueous phase,… Use of sequential coating steps

IFSTTAR – June 4, Available products in France (2011) Technique Name Manufacturing temperature reduction ( ºC) Company Binder Additive ETIMA 3E - LT EVOTHERM MA3 EBT 130ºC 30 to 45 MALET COLAS Group EUROVIA EIFFAGE Travaux Publics Foaming process EVOTHERM DAT5 EBT 130ºC 40 to to 45 EUROVIA EIFFAGE Travaux Publics Foaming process and sequential coating EBT 90ºC EBE EBT 130ºC WAM-FOAM 3E - DB 50 to to 45 Up to to 45 EIFFAGE Travaux Publics Operating licence (owner LEA-CO) EIFFAGE Travaux Publics Operating licence (owner SHELL) COLAS Group In addition : Increase of foaming processes (from US – Astek, Gencor, Maxam ….) Development of specific binder by French bitumen company (Total)

IFSTTAR – June 4, Consequences for asphalt plants No modification for specific binders or additives in bitumen Necessary modifications (more or less important) for Foaming Double coating Sometimes necessary reduction of production rate

IFSTTAR – June 4, Approximately near HALF million ton applied in 2008, 2010 : ONE million ton in France among 40 millions tons/year of HMA Examples of quantitative evolution Source IDRRIM – May 2011

IFSTTAR – June 4, In laboratory Mechanical performances are similar as HMA But stripping resistance (Duriez test) is slightly lower than HMA Manufacturing in plant Production temperature from 90°C to 130°C Residual moisture control seems difficult (for ‘water’ processes) Implementation and laying Laying and compaction temperature from 70°C to 120°C High compaction energy is required especially for base course Workability at middle term must be monitored Environmental field Reduction of emissions Reduction of energy consumption First assessment of French survey of WAM

Current research activities on WAM

IFSTTAR – June 4, Research needs Assess global energy consumption vs. traditional HMA Assess fume emissions reduction (effect of additives/binder) Assess coating quality in lab Assess durability under traffic Assess aging properties Assess usability of performance-based specifications (representativeness of laboratory manufacturing process vs. plant process)

IFSTTAR – June 4, LCPC Research project ‘OPTIMIRR’ WAM = Environmentally friendly processes ? - Aggregates (partly or fully) heated - Bitumen temperature still high - Complexity of Mixing processes - Additives (paraffin, zeolites, …), recyclibility? Foaming bitumen with steamed water: ‘stripping effect’ = ecologic benefit ? Residual water content in warm mix : aggregate/bitumen interface durability, long term behaviour under heavy traffic ? Lot’s of questions waiting for answers >> Researches in progress Optimization of Pavement Materials and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Incorporated into Roads

IFSTTAR – June 4, TOC(e) Volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds : VOC and SVOC Organic aérosols Gas Asphalt manufacturing (and implementation) Fumes Inorganic particles Particles Compounds emitted in our laboratory conditions Asphalt fumes

IFSTTAR – June 4, Mixer Stack TOC(e) probe FID Analyser Hydrogen and Air bottles Functions - Generate fumes - Collect / Sample - Analyse Parameters studied - Mix design - Binder - Process - Manufacturing temperature Objective Environmental Assessment and ranking of bituminous mixes in lab Efficient laboratory tool to study and forecast asphalt fumes LCPC Asphalt fumes generator

IFSTTAR – June 4, Time (s) Emission Potential (mg.s/m 3 /kg of bitumen) TOC(e) (mg/m 3 /kg of bitumen)  Evaluation and separation of TOC by a Flame Ionization Detector (FID)  Evolution of Total Organic Compounds TOC(e) emissions according to time at a stirring velocity of 20 rpm One studied indicator = Emission Potential Analytical systems to measure asphalt emissions The emission Potential (EP) is calculated by integrating the area under TOC(E) curve according to time

IFSTTAR – June 4, Increase of Temperature = Increase of TOC(e) emission Temperature and mix design influence Ref Gaudefroy ISAP 2008 paper 110 Binder content 3.75 %5.1 % WMAHMA

IFSTTAR – June 4, Fresh bitumen: pen-grade 42 and R&B : 52,6°C Stirring time: 30 min Bitumen aging and fumes emissions Correlation between Emission Potentiel and bitumen aging Ref Gaudefroy ISAP 2008 paper 103 H-WMAs H-WMA

IFSTTAR – June 4, Durability and performances of WMA Survey of existing job sites French expert task group on ‘WMA processes’ of SETRA (road directorate) Accelerated Pavement testing to assess durability under traffic Enabling to check performance based specification applicability for WMA LCPC Test track

IFSTTAR – June 4, Conclusions WMA durable trend in France Increasing use with promising results Still research needs Need of a global environmental assessment tool (like for other techniques) Existing experiments on site for fume assessment to correlate to laboratory Need for job sites surveys –To assess durability under traffic –To check and/or improve performance based specifications for these mixes
