Background
• EME developed in France since the 1990’s for use as mainly base layers on highways, airport runways and urban roads.
• Technology transfer to SA started in 2011• Initial designs done in France with SA Materials• Extensive testing at CSIR to establish design guide and specification
based on SA conditions• Real opportunities identified to apply technology in SA• Mix design differ from conventional asphalt as EME design is
strictly performance based

Design grading

It should however be noted that these gradings only provide a point of departure for the mix design process and should not be used to impose a restriction on the gradings adopted for optimal mix designs.

EME Laboratory vs Field
• On N1 project slabs were recovered from both top and bottom EME layers
• Dynamic modulus– At high temperatures lab higher than field
• Fatigue– Confirm that bottom layer with higher binder content has better
fatigue life– Fatigue lower for field than lab
• Flexural stiffness also lower field than lab

Asphalt Fatigue HIMA
• Where EME is manufactured with straight bitumen, HIMA allows modification
• Modulus generally lower than EME, not enough data available to confirm
• However, specification for EME can still be met• Thus, still high modulus and higher order pavement - low
strains can be expected

HIMA Experience in SA
• Very little experience with HIMA in SA• Olard reported at CAPSA 2011 on Grave Bitume (GB), a French
HIMA mix, specifically GB5• De Beer reported at SATC 2017 of GB5 test trials in SA (done in
2014 in Durban)– Stone skeleton mix– 35/50 pen bitumen, 3% SBS polymer and cross-link– 20% reclaimed asphalt– Fatigue at 106 of 250 to 280 μξ reported

Construction (N1 Cape Town)
• Mix design took long, delayed construction• Binder availability, especially when only small quantities required• Was warned against early “lock-up” below certain temperature.
Early “lock-up” was actually similar to normal mixes• Danger of over-compaction, not so; normal compaction• Layer flushes visibly, especially on roller overlaps; >95% MVD• Combination vibratory compactor plus heavy PTR. Initial rolling
with PTR was necessary• Compaction windows not entirely different, 90°C is lower limit• Implication of aggregate size on layer thickness critical

The Future
• EME in SA seems to mature• Quite a few projects lined up for construction, mainly KZN• Approximately 400 00 tons of EME to be paved• Need to continuously interrogate methods and knowledge
