Introduction

National highway in Korea was covered with asphalt pavement. Now, strategy of government for national highway was changed from construction to maintenance. Thus, the government is interested in quality control to extend pavement service life and save maintenance budget. According to increase the number of vehicles and climate change, the higher quality and quality assurance in pavement policy is required. The government is to provide safe, durable and smooth pavement that is capable of carrying anticipated traffic loads. To accomplish this objective, many researchers were dedicated to select paving materials that could reduce the distress and improve the general performance of asphalt pavement (Modarres and Rahmanzadeh, 2014; Saltan et al., 2013). Therefore, many researchers are being carried out the development of innovative and environmentally friendly materials for improving the performance and durability of roads. For example, studies are being conducted on the use of waste tires as substitutes for current fuels. Since the development of the automobile industry, the amount of waste tire has continuously increased in accordance with the increased production of tires. Therefore, waste should be properly handled according to the increase in the annual generation of tirederived fuel (TDF) fly ash. When used as a fuel source, resources are saved and recycled. If this TDF fly ash is used as a mineral filler for road pavement, it is expected to reduce the costs associated with landfill disposal, recycling of industrial by-products, and the environmental burden. In this study, TDF fly ash was used as a mineral filler in asphalt mixture, a technique that has not been properly utilized thus far. The research team was adopted various test methods such as Marshall stability and indirect tensile strength etc. to investigate the effect of TDF fly ash as filler material in asphalt paving material based on both the Korean Standard (KS), KS F3501 (Korean asphalt mixture mineral filler) and the Guide of Production and Construction of Asphalt mixture in Korean (KATS, 2013a; MOLIT, 2015).

Literature review

2.1.

Status of the use of overseas waste tire

One of methods to recycle waste tire is mixed with coal or other fuel to be burned in power plants or concrete kilns. More than 7500 tons of waste tires was recycled with tire-derived fuel in the Nova Scotia area. The generated waste tires were used as an auxiliary fuel in the cement plant in 2005 (Pegg et al., 2007). In a study investigating the environmental impact and potential danger of using TDF as an auxiliary

fuel, Pegg et al. (2007) found that the CO2 emissions tended to increase slightly, but SO2 and NOx did not have a significant influence. A slight reduction of gaseous emissions is expected for 30% equivalent heat replacement of coalcoke with TDF, with corresponding decrease in gaseous combustion products: 21%, 1%, and 23% decrease in fuel SO2 and fuel NOx emissions respectively (Asamany et al., 2015). In Europe, the amount of waste tire used for highway pavement is only 1% of the total waste tire use. This means that only slightly more than 0.25% of waste tires generated in Europe are recycled. In the case of the US, in 1991, a request was made by a research team to use rubber asphalt utilizing waste tires in construction projects conducted using federal funds; however, the request was withdrawn five years later due to the environmental impact and risk. However, in some states, rubber asphalt is used for highway projects, while studies on the influence on the environment and health have advanced. The US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) concluded that the dust generated from rubber asphalt did not exceed the exposure limits set by the health and safety regulations. Although the components of exhaust gas and dust could be altered, these substances were only generated by asphalt, and were not generated by rubber when using waste tires.

2.2.

Definition of TDF fly ash

Tire-derived fuel (TDF) is composed of shredded scrap tires and may be efficiently mixed with other fuel materials such as coal or wood for concrete kilns or power plants. Fig. 1 shows the process of generating TDF fly ash. The dust is then collected from the boiler and filtered through the bag filter, and TDF fly ash is finally produced. Because TDF is an environmentally friendly and renewable energy solid fuel, it is used as a raw material source produced in several thermally combined plants in South Korea and overseas. Until recently, the use of TDF has gradually increased due to the increase of recycle waste tire. Therefore, the amount of TDF fly ash generated has also increased, and the TDF fly ash has thus far been classified as waste and transported to landfill because no environmentally friendly treatment

method has been developed and no related standards on TDF fly ash recycling have been devised. However, according to the amendment of the lower statute of the Ministry of Environment's “Waste Administration Law”, TDF fly ash can be recycled. Despite the increase in the amount of TDF fly ash generated, it has not been appropriately utilized and, in Korea, it is currently dumped as landfilled waste (Choi et al., 2016). The results of the TDF fly ash waste treatment test are shown in Table 1. These results confirmed that the harmful substances in the TDF fly ash don't detect. It implies that various usage of TDF fly ash is able to show in the future.

2.3.

Usage of waste materials for mineral filler

Many researchers have investigated the performance of waste materials used as replacement of conventional mineral filler in asphalt mixture. Because of the lack and limitation of available natural resources, it is important to find alternative materials. Recycling of waste materials is not only economically feasible but also an environmentally friendly option  lar, 2007; Karasahin and Terzi, 2007; (Ahmed et al., 2006; Cag Muniandy et al., 2009; Saltan et al., 2013; Sangiorgi et al., 2017). The recycled materials in construction was increased because of the lack and limitation of available natural resources. Lots of industrial waste products have been carried out on the use of different recycled materials in substitution of conventional fillers in asphalt concretes (Uzun and Terzi, 2012). Mistry and Roy (2016) evaluated the effect of using fly ash (FA) (a mineral by-product of coal ignition in thermal power plants) in asphalt mixture as a replacement of the commonly used filler. Their experimental results showed a higher stability value with lower optimum binder content for a mixture having 4% FA, which was the optimum filler content compared with conventional mix and standard specification. Their study demonstrated the possibility of FA as an alternative filler instead of 2% hydrated lime (HL) in HMA, while satisfying the standard specification. In a study by Sobolev et al. (2013), the use of fly ash in asphalt mixture was reported to improve the performance of the asphalt binders at comparable levels to the polymer modification. The addition of fly ash enhanced the thermal relaxation according to the enhanced resistance to thermal cracking and the ability to relieve internal thermal stress build-up during the winter season. The fly ash could be used to reduce the amount of asphalt binder needed for the required performance. Jony et al. (2011) investigated the effect of using waste glass powder as mineral filler on the Marshall properties of hot asphalt concrete mixtures in response to a lack of wide experimentation on the use of waste glass as filler in hot mix asphalt. The results demonstrated the feasibility of using glass powder as filler in HMA with an optimum glass powder content of 7%. Sadeeq et al. (2014) conducted an experimental investigation on the use of rice husk ash (RHA) as filler to replace ordinary portland cement (OPC) in

reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). Marshall stability tests were performed on various mixes to investigate the pavement performance. An optimum value of 25% RHA filler replacement for OPC was obtained. Indirect tensile strength test results indicated that the use of RHA as a filler contributes more to crack resistance of recycled asphalt pavement than OPC filler. Coal waste is a by-product produced in coal washing plants. The accumulation of coal waste in nature causes several ecological and environmental problems. In a study by Modarres and Rahmanzadeh (2014) and Modarres et al. (2015), the main objective was to investigate the applicability of coal waste powder and its ash produced as fillers in hot mix asphalt (HMA) compared to the conventional fillers. The use of recycled brick powder as a replacement of mineral filler in asphalt mixture was carried out by Chen et al. (2011) to determine the performance of two mixtures using recycled brick powder and limestone filler. The asphalt properties were evaluated using indirect tensile tests, static and dynamic creep tests, water sensitivity tests, and fatigue tests. The mixtures prepared with recycled brick powder were shown to have better mechanical properties than the mixtures prepared with limestone filler. Thus, it is promising to use recycled brick powder as a mineral filler in asphalt mixture. Goh and You (2008) conducted the rutting performance of asphalt mixtures with bottom ash in the aggregate according to the flow number and dynamic modulus tests. The asphalt mixture containing bottom ash increased the optimum asphalt binder contents significantly and showed a slightly higher rut depth. In order to solve this problem, the absorption value of bottom ash was tested before the usage. Also, the use of lime for the bottom ash mixture could be used to increase the rutting resistance. The effect on optimum bitumen content (OBC) of filler type and filler content not only depends on the fineness of the filler but it is also controlled by the Rigden voids of the filler. Static creep tests and wheel-tracking tests conducted on various mixes indicate better performance of a mix when these wastes are used as filler. Mixes with fly ash, granite dust, and marble dust have almost 40% more life in rutting when compared with conventional stone dust filler. The fatigue life of a mix with marble dust is 50%e70% higher than that of a mix with conventional stone dust. In the case of fly ash filler, the fatigue life is approximately 30% higher than conventional stone dust filler. Mistry and Roy (2016) investigated the effect of using fly ash in asphalt mixture instead of common mineral filler. Samples were fabricated with different bitumen content (3.5%e6.5% at 0.5% increments) by using 2% hydrated lime in control mix as well as various percentage of fly ash ranging from 2% to 8%. The optimum bitumen content (OBC) was determined based on Marshall mix design. This study results founded higher stability value with lower OBC for the mixture having 4% FA as optimum filler content in comparison with conventional mix and standard specification. From this study, the Fly ash was proper to alternative filler instead of hydrated lime in asphalt concrete mix by satisfying the standard specification. Tai Nguyen and Nhan Tran (2018) have studied the effects of crumb rubber on the mechanical properties, especially the rutting

resistance, of crumb rubber modified asphalt concrete and stone mastic asphalt (SMA) as function of the content of additive and the curing time. The size of used crumb rubber ranges from 0 to 2.36 mm, which was not too coarse for promoting the crumb rubberebitumen interaction and not too fine for facilitating the production of crumb rubber. The optimal content of crumb rubber was 1.5%e2%, while the optimal curing time that contributed to the maximal increase in the mechanical characteristics of both mixtures could not be determined. For the high temperature, the longer the asphalt mixture was maintained for the better the performance of mixture. Also, aging was influenced on the performance of asphalt mixtures. Likitlersuang and Chompoorat (2016) investigated the influence of filler materials on volumetric and mechanical performances of asphalt concrete. Both cement and fly ash was used for filler material instead of common filler following the Marshall mix design method. Various cement and fly ash contents was adopted. In order to investigate the asphalt concrete mixture as function of filler types, the indirect tensile test, the resilient modulus test and the dynamic creep test were conducted. Both cement and fly ash were beneficial in terms of enhanced strength, stiffness and stripping resistance of asphalt mixture. In addition, the combined use of cement and fly ash can enhance rutting resistance at wet and high temperature conditions (Huang et al., 2010). The results indicate that the strength, stiffness and moisture susceptibility performances of the asphalt concrete mixtures improved by filler are comparable to the performance of the polymer modified asphalt mixture. Sadeghnejad et al. (2018), has investigated the optimal use of waste glass in hot mix asphalt mixtures to increase strength. The aim of this study was to estimate the impact of temperature and stress on the glasphalt mixture rutting behavior with ABAQUS software. The results of this study showed that the presented models were well able to predict the rutting of glasphalt mixtures at different temperatures and stresses. Also the results of models showed that the waste glass powder was able to improve the performance of asphalt mixtures against permanent deformation significantly.

Mineral filler

Mineral fillers are part of the aggregate skeleton of the pavement and play an important role in asphalt mixtures because they fill voids in paving mix and improve the cohesion of asphalt binder (Kandhal et al., 1998; Wasilewska et al., 2017). They provide contact points between individual particles and, therefore, are generally considered to perform the same function as the coarser particles in resisting stresses imposed on the pavement (Kallas et al., 2019). The mineral filler in asphalt mixture offers for the durability of the asphalt mixtures in the case of water action due to its physical characteristics, reducing the porosity of the granular structure and thereby making the access of water and air difficult Mahan (2013). Aboelkasim and Enieb (2018) founded the mechanical properties of the asphalt mixtures were strongly dictated to the type and amount of the mineral filler. Also, the influence of mineral filler at the mastic scale

also was verified with the aid of penetration and softening point tests, confirming the agreement between mixture and mastic results. The physical properties of mastics are strongly dependent on type and concentration of the mineral filler. Wang et al. (2011) analyzed the effect of mineral filler properties on asphalt mastic and the rutting potential of asphaltic mixture. The characteristic of mineral filler properties were investigated with four tests: Rigden voids, fineness modulus, calcium oxide content, and methylene blue value. The asphalt mastic performance was significantly affected by the fractional voids in the filler and possibly by the Calcium Oxide content and fineness modulus. The SBS (styrene butadiene styrene) modified binder showed the strongest effect as a result of the mineral filler inclusion when tested as mastic. On the other hand, Rigden voids and calcium oxide content showed relatively greater correlation with the mixture rutting potential, as compared with other filler properties. Rigden void, more pronounced for the coarse mixture than for the fine mixture, improved the prediction models for dynamic modulus and flow number. The mineral filler must be powder or another suitable mineral substance such as limestone powder, hydrated lime, and dust, etc. It is specified in KS F 3501 (KATS, 2013a, b) that, when using these substances as mineral fillers, they must not contain harmful substances such as dust, mud, organic matter, or bulky particles. The purpose of using these materials in asphalt mixtures is to assist the arrangement of aggregates to increase the stability and strength of the aggregate within the mixture, as the mineral filler combines with the asphalt. As shown in Fig. 2, the role of the mineral filler is to help improve workability by acting as a roller. The most of the other important properties of filler such as specific surface area, voids, void diameter, degree of compaction, and bulk density as found by many other investigators, were directly or indirectly related to particle size (Lee, 1964). It also affects the properties of asphalt mixtures, depending on the characteristics inherent in the mineral filler. The mineral filler is also important as its function and role differ from those of the aggregate in the asphalt mixture. The increasing filler content increases the brittleness and tendency to crack in performance because of the increased thickness of the asphalt film of the asphalt mixture (Goh and You, 2008).

3.1.

TDF fly ash

The TDF fly ash used in this study is a black powder as shown in Fig. 3. The results of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of the TDF fly ash shown in Fig. 4 confirm that the particle shape is generally large and rectangular and the particle size varies. Table 2 shows the chemical composition of the TDF fly ash, indicating that the chemical components of CaO and SiO2 comprise the largest proportion. When the CaO component reacts with pore water, Ca(OH)2 and Ca2þ ions are generated. This component then reacts with the silicate and aluminate of the TDF fly ash component to form a hydrate. It is expected that the TDF fly ash will have a positive effect on moisture resistance.

Asphalt binder

The asphalt binder produced by one of Korea petroleum companies was PG 64-22 that commonly used in asphalt pavement construction in Korea.

Aggregate

Granite aggregate is adopted which contains less than 10% flat and elongated particles and is typically used for asphalt pavement in Korea. Fig. 5 shows the aggregate gradation for a 19 mm hot mix asphalt mixture.

Testing methods

4.1.

Marshall stability test

Generally, the Marshall stability test is one of test methods to evaluate asphalt mixture's properties in Korea. It is evaluated the resistance of plastic flow with maximum load and measured the empirical physical properties of the asphalt mixture. The value of the flow refers to the total vertical displacement until the specimen reaches the maximum load. The specimen for this test was immersed in a water tank at 60  C for 30 min, the moisture in the sample surface was removed, and the load was then applied at a speed of 50.0 mm/min for load measurement.

Moisture sensitive test

Environmental factors such as temperature, air and water have deleterious effects on the durability of HMA (Tandon

Fig. 4 e Particle conformation of TDF fly ash (SEM). et al., 1998; Terrel and Al-Swailmi, 1994; Terrel and Shute, 1989). According to Little and Jones (2003), moisture damage is defined as the loss of strength and durability in asphalt mixtures due to the effects of moisture. Moisture can damage the HMA in the following two ways: 1) loss of bond between the asphalt cement or mastic and the fine and coarse aggregate and 2) weakening of the mastic due to the presence of moisture. Six contributing factors have been attributed to causing moisture damage in HMA: detachment, displacement, spontaneous emulsification, pore-pressure induced damage, hydraulic scour, and environmental effects (Amelian et al., 2014; Little and Jones, 2003; Roberts et al., 1996). The strength and stability of asphalt mixtures are reduced after submerge into water. Moisture is one of main factors to create pavement distress because the moisture in the asphalt pavement causes the loss of adhesion between aggregate and asphalt mastic. In addition, the cohesion and bond strength loss of the asphalt mastic caused various distress such as raveling, striping and fatigue cracks (Chandra and Choudhary, 2013; Paul, 2006). In this study, a tensile strength ratio test was conducted in accordance with the humidity resistance evaluation method as specified in KS F 2398. The value of the indirect tensile strength in the dry state and the value of the indirect tensile strength after the moisture treatment are measured (KATS, 2012). The ratio between these values is then determined as the moisture resistance; that is, the tensile strength ratio (TSR). The TSR was then calculated from Eq. (1). TSR ¼

Dynamic immersion test

One of distresses is stripping which caused by loss of bond between aggregate and asphalt binder. The dynamic immersion test was specified in the standard of EN 12697-11 (BSI, 2012) for evaluating the adhesion strength between aggregate and asphalt in a water immersion state. Figs. 6 and 7 show the dynamic water immersion glass bottle specified by the EN 12697-11 standard and testing equipment (KATS, 2013b).

For dynamic immersion test, 600 g of aggregate passing the 10 mm sieve and retained on the 6.3 mm sieve (6/10 mm fraction) was mixed with asphalt binder at 160  C. The detailed sample preparation is described at the EN 12697-11.

Wheel tracking test

Traffic loads causes internal stresses in asphalt pavement structures. In summer, when the deformation of asphalt pavement occurs most often, the temperature of the surface layer increases as it absorbs the heat from the sun. Then, when the asphalt becomes loose and receives the traffic load, plastic deformation called a rutting or a dent phenomenon Fig. 8 e Coverage guidelines.

will occur, which causes tire marks along the traveling direction of the vehicle. This particularly occurs at intersections where the vehicle gradually slows down and/or stops. In order to predict these plastic deformations, the wheel tracking test is typically used to predict the potential for rutting in the field. Since this is a simple test method, it is possible to compare mixtures corresponding to the settling depth, and the deformation of the packing surface layer can be copied. In this research, the dynamic stability and the deformation amount were measured using the equipment shown in Fig. 9 according to the KS F 2374 standard. The plastic deformation resistance of the mixture was then determined through repeated running of the wheel load (BSI, 2012). The dynamic stability and the total deformation are measured. The dynamic stability necessary for evaluating the resistance of plastic deformation is calculated through the following Eq. (2). Dynamic stability ðDSÞ ¼

where C is the loading speed (42 cycle/min), D45 is the deformation amount during 45 min (mm), D60 is the deformation amount during 60 min (mm).

Analysis of test results

5.1.

Comparisons of particle size as mineral filler

Since the particle size distribution, particle conformation, and specific surface area are varied for each mineral filler, the properties of the asphalt mixture can be determined

differently according to the characteristics of the mineral filler. Table 3 shows the results of the particle size analysis of the mineral filler used in this study, showing that TDF fly ash satisfies the mineral filler particle size criteria specified in KS F 3501.

5.2.

Marshall stability

Fig. 10 shows measured Marshall stability as function of mineral filler types. The criteria of the Marshall stability is 7500 N. The asphalt mixture has to be production and construction guidelines of asphalt mixture published by MOLIT, the minimum standard Marshall stability is set at 7500 N. As shown in Fig. 10, the results confirmed that the Marshall stability of each of the four types of mineral filler including TDF fly ash satisfies this minimum standard (7500 N) (MOLIT, 2007).

5.3.

Moisture resistance

Tensile strength ratio (TSR) is used to evaluate its moisture resistance according to the type of mineral filler. For the measurement, a specimen is prepared, of which the air void of the asphalt mixture is 7% ± 0.5%. The value of TSR is calculated using Eq. (1). As shown in Table 4, the TDF fly ash and Hydrated lime satisfy the standard TSR value. The hydrated lime, which is widely used for improving moisture

resistance, has a value of 0.9, which was the highest TSR value among the mineral fillers used in this study. In the case of using TDF fly ash, the TSR value was higher than others. The cost of TDF fly ash is cheaper than the hydrated lime. It implies that the moisture resistance of the asphalt mixture can be improved due to usage of the TDF fly ash.

5.4.

Wheel tracking test

The wheel tracking test is a method to estimate rutting resistance through a laboratory experiment under actual pavement conditions. Also, the change of the rut depth due to the repeated running of the wheel is evaluated as the dynamic stability of the asphalt mixture. Fig. 11 shows the behavior of rut depth as elapsed time according to the types of mineral filler. Table 5 shows the results of dynamic stability as changed mineral fillers. The four mixtures used in this study satisfied all the standard values and the stone powder and hydrated lime showed high stability values. The lower dynamic stability of both TDF fly ash and cement is less than that of stone powder and hydrated lime. However, the total rut depth of TDF fly ash is less than both hydrated lime and cement as shown in Fig. 11. However, based on a statistical comparison, the pvalue, 0.354, from ANOVA test is greater than 0.05, which indicates that no significant differences exist among the changed filler materials. It should be noted that the rutting behavior is not different although the slight difference is shown in Fig. 11. The ANOVA test was conducted to indicate the significant differences exist among the four mineral filler materials.

on the percentage of the retained coating on the aggregate. As shown in Fig. 12, the remained asphalt binder coating area of aggregate was enhanced according to increase the usage of the mineral filler. As explained in Fig. 12, the hydrated lime showed the best performance of the moisture susceptibility. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine if the difference found in the means are statistically significantly. ANOVA was used to test the differences among the four different mineral fillers. The differences among the four mineral fillers are significant because the p-value, 0.02, is less than the alpha level of 0.05. It is therefore considered that the bond ability of hydrated lime with asphalt was better than that of other mineral fillers, because the Blaine fineness of hydrated lime is about 16,300 cm2/g higher than that of the other mineral fillers. Stone dust showed the lowest binder coverage. The second moisture susceptibility resistance was TDF fly ash with usage 4%. It was significantly that the coating area was increased according to increase the amount of the mineral filler as seen in Fig. 12. It is possible that the TDF fly ash is to be help to resistance of moisture damage due to spherical particles.

Summary and conclusions

The aim of this paper is an investigation of the possibility of using TDF fly ash as the mineral filler for an asphalt mixture. The various test results using TDF fly ash are analyzed with three other mineral fillers and the conclusions are drawn as follows. (1) TDF fly ash as a mineral filler was satisfied the Korea standards of KS F 3501. (2) The results indicated the optimum asphalt amount of slaked lime to be 5.0%, which is about 0.4% higher than when using other mineral fillers. This seems to be due to the high specific surface area (19,800 cm2/g) of hydrated lime. Therefore, it is suggested that the optimal asphalt amount is closely related to the specific surface area of the mineral filler. (3) The Marshall stability of the asphalt mixture using TDF fly ash was higher than the standard criteria. It means that the HMA using TDF fly ash is enough to support the traffic loading. (4) The result of the stripping resistance test by dynamic immersion showed that, as the amount of TDF fly ash added was increased, the degree of coating increased constantly by about 30%. It is therefore suggested that the peeling resistance was improved by the exertion of a uniform bonding force between the asphalt and the aggregate by the spherical particles of the TDF fly ash. (5) The TSR value of the asphalt mixture using TDF fly ash was measured to be 0.82. This value is greater than that

of stone powder (0.75) and cement (0.77). It implies that the TDF fly ash is effective to improve the moisture resistance. (6) The result of the dynamic stability of the asphalt mixture using TDF fly ash was 3932 cycle/mm, which satisfied the requirement of 750 cycles/mm specified in the MOLIT standards. However, based on statically analysis, there is no significant differences exist among the different filler.
