Cold mix asphalt with polymeric stone for low traffic volume roads

Abstract

The use of polymer-based household waste in the wearing course of flexible pavements has been analysed, either as an asphalt bitumen modifier or as a dry additive. However, there are not enough records in which this waste is used to make up the aggregate to be used in an asphalt mix. This article presents the development carried out at LEMaC, consisting of pieces made from the mixture of household waste polymers and soils, which has been called Polymeric Stone. This material is used to design a cold-mix asphalt, and its use has been validated after evaluating a series of properties.
