AsphaltMixtures-Applications,TheoryandPrinciples

1.Applications

Asphaltmaterialsfindwideusageintheconstructionindustry.Theuseofasphaltasacementingagentinpavementsisthemostcommonofitsapplications,however,andtheonethatwillbeconsideredhere.

Asphaltproductsareusedtoproduceflexiblepavementsforhighwaysandairports.Theterm“xible”isusedtodistinguishthesepavementsfromthosemadewithPortlandcement,whichareclassifiedasrigidpavements,thatis,havingbeamstrength.Thisdistinctionisimportantbecauseitprovidestheykeytothedesignapproachwhichmustbeusedforsuccessfulflexiblepavementstructures.

Eachoftheconstituentpartsmentionedhasaparticularfunctionintheasphaltmixture,andmixproportioningordesignistheprocessofensuringthatnofunctionisneglected.

Beforetheseindividualfunctionsareexamined,however,thecriteriaforpavementsuccessandfailureshouldbeconsideredsothatdesignobjectivescanbeestablished.

Asuccessfulflexiblepavementmusthaveseveralparticularproperties.First,itmustbestable,thatistoresistanttopermanentdisplacementunderload.Deformationofanasphaltpavementcanoccurinthreeways,twounsatisfactoryandonedesirable.Plasticdeformation

Designprocedureswhichyieldpavingmixturesembodyingallthesepropertiesarenotavailable.Soundpavementsareconstructedwherematerialsandmethodsareselectedbyusingtime-testedtestsandspecificationsandengineeringjudgmentsalongwithaso-called

Thefinalrequirementforanypavementisoneofeconomy.Economy,again,cannotbemeasureddirectly,sincetrueeconomyonlybeginswithconstructioncostandisnotfullydeterminableuntilthefullusefullifeofthepavementhasbeenrecorded.If,however,the

3.Mixdesignprinciples

Certainfundamentalprinciplesunderliethedesignproceduresthathavebeendeveloped.Beforetheseprocedurescanbeproperlystudiedorapplied,someconsiderationoftheseprinciplesisnecessary.

Asphaltpavementsarecomposedofaggregates,asphaltcement,andvoids.Consideringtheaggregatealone,allthespacebetweenparticlesisvoidspace.Thevolumeofaggregatevoidsdependsongradingandcanvarywidely.Whentheasphaltcementisadded,aportionoftheseaggregatevoidsisfilledandafinalair-voidvolumeisretained.Theretentionofthisair-voidvolumeisveryimportanttothecharacteristicsofthemixture.Thetermair-voidvolumeisused,sincethesevoidsareweightlessandareusuallyexpressedasapercentageofthetotalvolumeofthecompactedmixture.
