Mechanistic evaluation of segregation in HMA mixtures
Segregation in hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures is defined as the separation of the coarse aggregate particles in the mixtures from the rest of the mass. Segregation can be a result of aggregate stockpiling and handling, production, storage, truck loading practices, construction practices, and equipment adjustments. Segregation is usually evaluated visually, which is considered as a subjective method with no definite limits and depends on the evaluator’s opinion.This study uses two mechanistic surface texture indicators, i.e., mean texture depth (MTD) that is measured using sand patch method and mean profile depth (MPD) using laser texture profilometer to evaluate if a road section is segregated or not.The sand patch method is standardized in ASTM E965 -15 (2019) “for Measuring Pavement Macrotexture Depth Using Volumetric Technique”. MPD is covered by the international standards ASTM E1845-15 “Standard Practice for Calculating Pavement Macrotexture Mean Profile Depth”.Using both measured MTD values at grid point crossings, and average MPD values at 25 m intervals in the wheel paths, in addition to the use of statistical analysis of the obtained data, assuming that the obtained data are normally distributed and finding the 95% probability limits of the MTD and MPD values, it is possible to prove the closeness of the obtained texture depth indicator data, homogeneity of the road section, and that the segregation is only present at very limited localized locations.
