Abstract
This paper presents a study on the effects of recycled engine oil bottoms (REOB) on ductile failure properties of asphalt cements. Binders were tested according to regular AASHTO M320 as well as double-edge-notched tension (DENT) test protocols. The DENT test determines essential work of failure (we, a measure of strength and toughness) and critical crack tip opening displacement (CTOD, a measure of strain tolerance). REOB was found to increase the AASHTO M320 grade span but worsen we and/or CTOD. Straight and polymer-modified binders were studied, with and without REOB and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) binder, and significant decreases in we and CTOD were found, pointing to reduced cracking performance.
