Abstract
Hot in-place recycling (HIR) has emerged as a sustainable maintenance technology that provides advantages in resource conservation and emission reduction. However, long-term monitoring of road maintenance reveals that the rate of skid resistance decay in HIR pavements is significantly higher than that observed in newly constructed asphalt pavements. This research systematically investigates the effects of five gradations and five types of coarse aggregates on the skid resistance of hot in-place recycled asphalt mixtures (HIRM) using an indoor accelerated polishing device (IAPD). Key parameters, including Mean Texture Depth (MTD) and British Pendulum Number (BPN), were measured. Additionally, the surface morphology, mineral composition, and elemental distribution of the coarse aggregates were analyzed using microscopic testing methods. Finally, predictive models for MTD and BPN were developed through multiple linear regression, and the accuracy of these models was validated via indoor experiments. Results indicate that variations in gradation, particularly the passing rate of the 4.75 mm sieve (P4.75), significantly influence MTD, while the properties of coarse aggregates have a more pronounced effect on BPN. Pearson correlation analysis reveals a strong negative correlation between P4.75 and both the initial and final MTD values, with correlation coefficients of −0.96 and −0.94, respectively. Additionally, the final polished stone value (PSVfinal) of coarse aggregates and the overall average hardness (HIRMh) exhibit correlation coefficients with BPN of 0.87 and 0.79, respectively. Following the correlation analysis, several indicators were selected for a multivariable regression analysis, which successfully established a decay model for the MTD index (R² > 0.98) and a logarithmic decay model for BPN (R² > 0.96). Validation tests confirmed that the prediction errors for the models were below 7 % and 4 %, respectively. This research provides theoretical insights for material design and the prediction of skid resistance of HIR asphalt pavements.
