Influence of the Bailey Gradation Method on the Mechanical Behavior of Asphalt Mixture Containing Steel Slag as an Alternative Aggregate
This study evaluates the feasibility of reusing steel slag aggregates in asphalt concrete, analyzing the impact of different gradation methods (Bailey method and conventional Brazilian method) on the mechanical properties of the mix. Using the Marshall methodology and Petroleum Asphalt Concrete (PAC) 30/45, parameters such as Marshall stability, indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus, fatigue life through diametral compression, and permanent deformation (Flow Number) were investigated. Additionally, a simulation for a hypothetical section in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was performed using the mechanistic-empirical pavement design software, Medina. The results showed that the mixture produced by the Bailey method outperformed the others in all analyses. This method led to a more compact mix, providing significant advantages, including up to a 35% reduction in final pavement thickness and a 110.6% increase in Flow Number (FN), enabling the mix to withstand extremely heavy traffic, as reported in the literature. Regarding fatigue life, the Bailey mixture achieved a fatigue class of 4, compared to the conventional mixture class 1. These findings indicate that using the Bailey gradation method for producing asphalt mixtures with steel slag can optimize binder content and improve resistance to permanent deformation and fatigue, making it a viable and sustainable alternative for asphalt pavements.
