This paper refines the oxidation kinetics-based approach originally proposed in the NCHRP 09-54 project to determine the laboratory aging durations at 95°C that best reflect the effects of time, climate, and depth on loose asphalt mixtures. Aging durations that match the field aging at various pavement depths were determined in this study for asphalt mixtures, including warm-mix asphalt (WMA), polymer-modified asphalt (PMA), and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). Here, the laboratory aging durations were used to calibrate a climatic aging index to prescribe the laboratory aging duration, given hourly pavement temperature history obtained from Enhanced Integrated Climatic Model analysis of the Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 weather data. The recalibrated procedure determines the required laboratory aging durations with reasonable accuracy for virgin hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and WMA mixtures. From the recalibrated results, no variations were found with regard to the laboratory aging durations for WMA materials compared with HMA materials, but there were differences between the RAP and non-RAP mixtures. In some instances, the short-term aged RAP mixtures that were prepared according to AASHTO R 30 exceeded the aging level of 4-year-old field cores, suggesting that refinement of this standard short-term aging procedure may be necessary. Approximately half of the PMA sections evaluated exhibited outlier behavior that could have been caused by the unrealistically harsh thermal history of the field projects from which the cores were acquired.
