Abstract

Dynamic modulus (|E*|) is one of the most important input parameters that need to be determined for mechanical empirical pavement design. Dynamic modulus represents the stiffness of asphalt mixture to meet the load bearing capacity of the pavement structure. This paper presents the results of |E*| of recycled asphalt mixtures using 50%RAP and rejuvenators. Two vegetable oils-based rejuvenators (Prephalt and SV) and a petroleum-based rejuvenator (HS1) were used in the recycled mixtures at the contents of 7.5%, 8.3%, and 10.5%, respectively, by the weight of RAP bitumen. The mixtures were subjected to short-term and long-term aging before compacting. Four temperature levels (4°C, 21°C, 37°C, and 54°C) and six frequency levels (0.1 Hz, 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, 5 Hz, 10 Hz, and 25 Hz) were selected for the dynamic modulus test. The results showed that dynamic modulus |E*| are affected by factors such as temperature, frequency, aging conditions, and rejuvenator types. In addition, the recycled mixture using RAP has a higher |E*| than the mixture without RAP. Three rejuvenators showed effectiveness in reducing the stiffness of mixtures under short and long-term aging conditions compared to the 50%RAP mixture without rejuvenator. Regarding the effect of rejuvenators on |E*|, the recycled mixture using a petroleum-based rejuvenator showed lower aging than the vegetable-based rejuvenator when undergoing long-term aging
