Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is a technology that allows significant lowering of the production and paving temperature of conventional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). By reducing the viscosity of bitumen and/or increasing the workability of mixture, some WMA technologies can reduce the temperature to 100oC and even lower
Incorporation of high contents of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixes produced at warm-mix asphalt (WMA) temperatures raises questions about the interaction between the RAP and the WMA additives and the performance of these mixes.
Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technologies have potential to reduce the application temperature of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and improve workability without compromising the performance of asphalt pavement.
The object of this paper is to investigate the compaction characteristics of warm mix epoxy asphalt concrete with the aid of the viscosity test, gyratory compaction test, and two-dimensional image analysis. The compactability energy required from initial densification to 97% Gmm for epoxy asphalt concrete (CDIE) was proposed from the gyration compaction curve to evaluate the effect of curing ...

For warm mix asphalt according to 402.09 use a lab compaction temperature 30.0 ºF (16.7 ºC) less than the JMF lab compaction temperature for hot mix asphalt. Use a compaction temperature tolerance of +/- 5.0 ºF (3.0 ºC). Record on the TE-199 if the mixture produced was ran at the asphalt plant as a hot mix asphalt (HMA) or as a warm mix ...

The ed warm mix asphalt (WMA) technology is a new construction method that decreases the viscosity of the asphalt binder and increases the workability during the construction phase. Conventional hot mix asphalt is typically produced at temperatures from 150°C to 170°C, while WMA is produced at 120°C~140°C.
The use of Warm Mix Asphalt improves the handling characteristics of asphalt and creates a more comfortable (working) environment for the asphalt workers and the public near work sites: For some technologies like , WMA can be compacted at a lower temperature than conventional HMA for an equivalent degree of compaction.
Highway transportation agencies are exploring the use of warm mix asphalt (WMA) for pavement projects. One of their main questions, particularly for agency mixture design technicians and engineers, is how WMA design differs from hot mix asphalt (HMA) design. "Mixture Design for Warm Mix Asphalt" is a Web-based training that presents

There is much hype about the new warm-mix asphalt pavement mixes. Warm-mix asphalt is basically the same as the Superpave hot-mix asphalt, but the mix is blended with a warm-mix technology additive or modifier to reduce mix viscosity and increase workability at lower temperatures where placement and compaction take place.
An asphalt-concrete mix must be fully compacted before it cools to a temperature of about 175 F. At temperatures above this value, the mix is normally still warm enough for the compaction equipment to reorient the aggregate particles into their densest configuration.
