Considering that the work is focused on the study and comparison of mixtures durability, the ageing procedure was performed on six of the mixtures. The objective was to represent in laboratory the process that takes place during construction and service life. The ageing protocol used is based on the ageing procedure proposed by the RILEM Technical Committee ATB TG5 [3]. The short term ageing involved heating the loose mix during 4h at 135°C before compaction. Thus, the long term ageing, on compacted mix lasted 9 days at 85°C. Studied mixtures and temperature of manufacture [4]-[5] TESTING Bitumen Tests Penetration and softening point results by the index carbonyl of every sample is represented, also a tendency curve has been added in each case. An imaginary limit seemed to appear around the lowest and highest values, as if a top hardening could be reached with ageing. Foaming affects oxidation process differently? Mixtures Tests Fatigue 0 % RAP50 % RAPBy % RAP The results obtained on the fatigue test compared to complex modulus results confirm the tendencies observed. When the level of modulus increases the material turns to a more brittle response, which is what occurs with the slopes of the fatigue laws. With these levels of dispersion, it is not clear whether they should be attributed to flaws in the test or if it reflects the intrinsic properties of the WMA and FWMA. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  An asymptote is reached by most of the mixtures for the penetration and softening point tests.  With regards to fatigue performance, independently of the manufacture technique employed the addition of 50% of RAP seems to rise systematically both the values of ε 6 and complex modulus.  In terms of mechanical performance improvement, the ageing protocol applied seems to increase the response of the mixtures, ε 6 and complex modulus, regardless of the technique used for the manufacture of the mixes.
