Warm mix asphalt (WMA) technology is steadily gaining popularity due to the environmental, energy, and cost savings it offers as a sustainable alternative to conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA). However, adoption of WMA for commercial and military airfield pavements has been slow due to lack of documented good performance on airfields and concerns about potential rutting problems. This paper presents testing results for 11 WMA technologies, compared with traditional HMA. One unmodified base binder and one aggregate gradation were utilized throughout. Both laboratory full-scale plant-produced materials are tested. Binder performance grade (PG) data and Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) mixture rutting data are presented. Relationships between laboratory and plant produced binder data and APA rutting are explored. The overall conclusion is that WMA is a viable alternative to HMA to improve the sustainability of airfield pavements.
