The results from accelerated pavement testing on warm-mix asphalt (WMA) mixtures designed for airfield pavements are presented. Three WMA mixtures and one hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixture produced in an asphalt plant were evaluated under simulated heavy aircraft traffic. The evaluation was conducted at extreme traffic conditions, including heavy aircraft loading, high tire pressure, and high pavement temperature. Pavement structural response and rutting were evaluated to assess the susceptibility to permanent deformation of WMA mixtures compared with that of HMA produced with the same aggregate blend. Test results indicated that WMA was a viable product for surface mixtures on airfield pavements.
