Abstract:

In this diploma thesis there are described the issues use of foamed bitumen as binder in asphalt mixtures. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The aim of theoretical part was to elaborate an overview of technologies, which allow to reduce the temperature during the production and laying of asphalt mixtures. The aim of the practical part was to compare the selected empirical and functional parameters of two types of asphalt mixtures produced in two variants, with hot bitumen and foamed bitumen. Attention was paid mainly to stiffness and low temperature parameters.

Keywords:

Asphalt mixture, asphalt concrete, hot mix asphalt, warm mix asphalt, hot bitumen, organic and chemical additives, foaming techniques, foamed bitumen, water,
empirical and functional tests, stiffness module, low-temperature characteristics.
