  • Abstract:
  • Warm mix asphalt (WMA) is a recent technology used to reduce the mixing and compaction temperatures without affecting the quality of pavement. Warm mix asphalt is a bituminous mixture where all its constituents are mixed, placed, compacted at medium temperature. A number of WMA processes have been developed in recent days. One of the processes includes the use of synthetic zeolite as an additive. An attempt has been made in the laboratory to develop warm mix asphalt mixes using synthetic zeolite as an additive at a specified mixing and compaction temperature which were obtained after a number of trials. The stone matrix asphalt (SMA) and dense bituminous macadam (DBM)mixes with aggregate gradation as per MORTH specifications were made with varying binder contents (4.5%, 5%, 5.5% 6%,6.5%). The zeolite content was 0.3% by weight of aggregate.
