The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase included laboratory tests on 11 WMA technologies. The tests in Phase 2 were performed on three WMA mixtures and one hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixture produced in an asphalt plant. The evaluation included performance tests to assess WMA susceptibility to permanent deformation and moisture damage compared with that of HMA produced with the same aggregate blend. Test results indicated that WMA potentially was a viable product for surface mixtures on airfield pavements. Although WMA exhibited poorer performance than HMA in moisture damage tests on laboratory-produced specimens, the plant-produced mix indicated little difference compared with HMA. Rutting potential for WMA was somewhat greater than for HMA for mixtures produced both in the laboratory and in an asphalt plant according to asphalt pavement analyzer and Hamburg wheel tracking tests. Differences in performance of WMA mixtures were not attributed to a specific WMA technology category. Variations in performance test results between laboratory-produced specimens and plant-produced specimens were noted and indicated a need to require performance testing as part of a comprehensive quality assurance plan.
