<p>Warm mix asphalt (WMA) technologies have attracted great interest in the field of pavement engineering due to its potential energy savings and environmental benefits. As one of the most popular WMA processes, Advera? utilizes zeolite to greatly reduce the production temperature of pavement without compromising the performance of the mixture. However, due to the lack of a comprehensive rheological characterization, the existing specifications cannot provide the optimum temperature and additive proportion for specific binder or aggregate types. Unanticipated by the existing engineering practice, the thermal history during material preparation has a significant effect on the end-results of the complex modulus of modified binders.</p>
