Analysis of The Effect of Temperature Variation on Failure Resistance of Recycle Material Stabilized with Bitumen Emulsion

Abstract

This study uses cold recycling method to improve material performance which would evidently improve adhesion, mechanical strength and resistance of failure. These give the stabilized material a longer life span. The Unconfined compressive strength testing is used to study the material behavior in terms of resistance of shear strength. Also, this study takes the thermal variation into consideration since we assume that this variable would play a significant role in the resistance of shear strength. In this study, Unconfined compressive strength testing. The stabilized material is blended from reclaimed asphalt pavement 25 percent and reclaimed crush rock 75 percent and mixed with 2 - 3 percent bitumen emulsion and admixtures. Testing at 30 – 50 degree Celsius. The results show the compatibility of resistance of shear strength for bitumen stabilized material on each factor.
