Abstract

Oven ageing is a set of procedure to simulate the accelerated effects of ageing on pavements structures. In this study, the effect of long-term oven ageing on porous asphalt mixture made with SBS modified binder was investigated. The resilient modulus, water permeability and air voids test results were the performance indicators used to evaluate the effects of ageing. The test results showed that, the resilient modulus of long term aged specimens was higher than those of unaged specimens. From the permeability test results, unaged SBS mixes exhibit lower coefficient permeability compared to the corresponding long-term oven age specimens. Most likely, ageing caused binder hardening, making the mix more difficult to compact and hence exhibited more continuous voids which in turn lead to higher permeability. In addition, the coefficient of permeability decreases as the binder content increased.
