ed asphalt stabilized base (FASB) combines reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and/or recycled concrete (RC) with a ed asphalt binder. The pavement structural properties of FASB fall somewhere between conventional graded aggregate base (GAB) and hot mix asphalt (HMA).
Stabilization of the pavement base course using asphalt emulsion is one of the strategies that improves the layer's strength and, consequently, enhances the pavement performance. In this study, to improve the performance of the asphalt-emulsion-stabilized base course, asphaltenes derived from Alberta oil sands bitumen are added to the mix.
Base Stabilization is used in new construction and reconstruction to improve the physical and load bearing properties of an aggregate base layer. In areas of low supply of quality aggregates, Base Stabilization can reduce material needs, conserving natural resources and reduce costs. Base Stabilization is similar to Full Depth Reclamation with ...

Base Stabilization + Asphalt Surface: To increase the structural capacity of the pavement structure, an asphalt mix can be placed over the stabilized base layer.
This Engineering Brief provides a standard specification P-407 Asphalt Treated Permeable Base Course (ATPB) that may be used on airport pavement projects. Both asphalt and cement treated permeable base courses have been used with success on airport pavements under both flexible and rigid pavements.
Asphalt-treated bases are often used in new pavements; the materials are available and low- cost, but there is little data on how these materials perform in cold regions. This study investigated four ATB types (hot asphalt, emulsion, ed asphalt, and reclaimed asphalt pavement) popular for treating base course materials.
Asphalt Concrete Base (ACB) Asphalt concrete base (ACB), also called asphalt treated base (ATB), is a dense-graded HMA with a larger nominal maximum aggregate size (1 inch) intended for use as a base course or binder course (see Figure 1). In addition to site paving benefits, ACB can be advantageous because it can provide:
An SHA provision specification for ed asphalt stabilized base course was developed by the investigators early in this study to provide a starting point for the mix design study and to guide construction of the field evaluation sections.
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the possible replacement of cement with asphaltenes as an additive in base course stabilization with asphalt emulsion. Asphaltenes were added to the asphalt emulsion, and the rheological properties were assessed using a dynamic shear rheometer.

The top foundational layer is the base course, usually made of crushed stone or a stabilized aggregate mix.
Asphalt emulsion is one of the commonly used materials for base course stabilization. Cement is usually added as an active filler to enhance the mix properties.
This work includes constructing a base course composed of sand, or a mixture of sands that is stabilized with bituminous materials. Construct the base course according to these Specifications and to the lines, grades, and typical cross-sections shown on the Plans or established by the Engineer.
L. Sections of the newly finished base course shall be cleaned prior to laying the surface course or additional base courses. No construction traffic will be allowed on the asphalt stabilized base unless authorized in writing by the Engineer.
In fact, some bases were conducted based on the combination of several common bases. For instance, the permeable base includes asphalt treated permeable base, cement treated permeable base and so on. However, the influences of various input variables on pavement performances of base course are different.
Lift thickness shown on the plans. —2363 ASPHALT STABILIZED STRESS RELIEF COURSE (PASSRC) AND PERMEABLE ASPHALT STABILIZED BASE (PASB) 2363.1 DESCRIPTION PASSRC is typically constructed on the in place concrete or bituminous surface to act as a separation layer and move water rapidly from beneath the unbounded …

Abstract Selection of optimal treatment strategy for a cracked asphalt pavement requires efficient evaluation of cracking. Pavement cracking severity was usually evaluated just by crack width in the past. In this paper, a novel method for extracting both crack type and crack width information in asphalt pavement with chemically stabilised …
Stabilization of the pavement base course using asphalt emulsion is one of the strategies that improves the layer's strength and, consequently, enhances the pavement …
The long term performance of the stabilized RAP as base course material in the pavements is questionable, since the reactions between the stabilizer and the amorphous asphalt content is not clearly understood.
