The objectives of this paper are to characterize the mechanical properties of porous asphalt pavement mixtures containing RAP and a WMA additive using Super pave gyratory compactor and dynamic modulus testing. Four types of asphalt mixtures were evaluated in this study. This study evaluated compaction energy index, permeability, indirect tensile strength, and dynamic modulus for all types of porous asphalt mixtures. All of the asphalt mixtures meet the typical minimum coefficient of permeability in this study. In addition, only a slight decrease in was found when WMA additive was added to the porous asphalt mixture containing RAP. For indirect tensile strength testing, WMA containing RAP was found to have the highest tensile strength among all of the mixtures tested.

The recycle of asphalt pavement material is not only accordance with the policy of national energy conservation and emission reduction, but also can significantly reduce the project cost. Viscoelastic mechanical model of recycled asphalt mixture is studied based on pavement maintenance engineering of Shenyang-Shanhaiguan expressway, and with analysis of material performance we could collect testing data from bending creep test on small beam, obtain testing parameters through fitting method. The results indicate that general Maxwell model could nicely reflect the viscoelastic mechanical behavior of recycled asphalt mixture.
