Abstract
In this study, the effect of fly ash (FA) as an alternative filler mineral was evaluated regarding workability, structural performance, durability, and its sustainability when prepared using hot (HMA) and warm mix asphalt (WMA) technologies. The results revealed that workability of HMA and WMA samples containing FA are comparable to the mixes containing cement powder, yet the WMA mixes containing 4% Sasobit® prepared at 145 °C exhibited the highest workability, regardless of filler type. However, the compaction energy index (CEI) of WMA samples containing FA is more sensitive to the Sasobit® content variations at each mixing temperature. Besides, use of FA as an alternative filler mineral increased the resilient modulus up to 7.5% as compared to HMA and WMA containing cement powder. The tensile strength ratios of asphalt mixtures containing FA are not only satisfied the design criteria, but it is also higher than those of samples with cement filler. Use of WMA technology improves sustainability in the construction phase, while incorporation of FA filler decreases the greenhouse gas emissions during the raw material manufacturing stage. Therefore, synergistic effects of using the WMA technology and FA improve the sustainability of both construction and raw material processing within the cradle to gate phases. In conclusion, a higher workability and resilient modulus test result together with less environmental emission indicate that the WMA technology using Sasobit® and FA as an alternative filler are showing great potential for the production of eco-friendly asphalt pavement.
