The Sm (acc. to IT-CY) indirect tensile test was used at temperatures of -10°C, 5°C, 13°C and 25°C. Prediction of the stiffness modulus accounted for the effect of temperature, the type of road binders, the sampling location and the type of technology selected. All effects, except temperature, were included in the model by entangling their effects through recycled base course physical and mechanical characteristics, such as indirect tensile strength, compressive strength, creep rate, air void content and moisture resistance. As a result, it was possible to determine a regression model based on multiple regression with a coefficient of determination R² = 0.78. Temperature and compressive strength were found to have the strongest effect on the variability of stiffness modulus. However, indirect tensile strength also significantly affected the Sm characteristic. In addition, FB-RCM (foamed bitumen) recycled mixtures proved to be more favourable than EB-RCM (emulsified bitumen) mixtures as they exhibited a lower deformation rate while retaining limited stiffness.}, type={Article}, title={Stiffness modulus prediction against basic physical and mechanical characteristics of recycled base course with foamed bitumen and emulsified bitumen}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/128453/PDF/art06_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ace.2023.146069}, keywords={deep recycling technology, foamed bitumen, multiple regression modelling, stiffness modulus, blended binder, trial section}, }
