Effect of Temperature on Interface Characteristics between Compacted Recycled Asphalt Pavement and Geogrid

This study presents an experimental investigation of the interface behaviors of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) reinforced with biaxial geogrid. A series of direct shear tests were conducted on compacted RAP specimens with or without geogrid under different normal stresses (50, 75, and 100 kPa) and...

description This study presents an experimental investigation of the interface behaviors of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) reinforced with biaxial geogrid. A series of direct shear tests were conducted on compacted RAP specimens with or without geogrid under different normal stresses (50, 75, and 100 kPa) and test temperatures (0, 20, and 35°C) using an improved temperature-controlled direct shear apparatus. The effect of test temperature on interface shear strength and strength parameters was systematically examined. Test results showed that shear stress versus shear displacement curves of RAP specimens with or without geogrid show strain-softening characteristics. Under the same normal stress, the curve of the reinforced RAP sample with a high temperature is always below that with a low temperature, which indicates the test temperature has an adverse effect on the strength of the reinforced RAP sample. The shear strength consistently increases linearly with the increase of applied normal stress for all RAP samples. The shear strength with geogrid is greater than pure RAP under a given test temperature and normal stress. The shear strength of RAP samples at lower test temperatures is higher than that at a higher temperature. Both apparent adhesion intercept of RAP-geogrid and cohesion of RAP show a decreasing trend with the increase of the test temperature and tend to be stable with increasing temperature. Both the interface friction angle of RAP-geogrid and the internal friction angle of RAP slightly decrease with the increase of test temperature. For RAP-geogrid, the value of the apparent adhesion intercept is higher than that for sand and gravel with geosynthetics. The interface friction angle is close to that of sand and gravel with geosynthetics. Therefore, RAP material can be well used as alternative backfill materials in lieu of natural aggregates such as gravel and sand in geotechnical applications.
