Effect of filler nature and content on the bituminous mastic behaviour under cyclic loads
Graphical abstract
HighlightsMastic design by volume should be considered instead of typical design by weight.Mastic stiffness and failure strain were evaluated using a strain sweep test.The behaviour of hydrated lime is different from that of natural fillers.Granite stiffens the mastic excessively, especially at low temperatures.Limestone filler has the best fatigue behaviour.
AbstractThe role of the filler in asphalt mixtures is particularly important because of its influence on mastic behaviour. The filler improves the resistance properties of bitumen against the action of traffic loads and temperature. However, the filler can also adversely affect bitumen in mastics excessively brittle and stiff due to inappropriate design. For these reasons, it is interesting to investigate the effect of filler type and content on mastic composition. This paper presents results from a strain sweep test applied to bituminous mastics prepared with different filler types and contents at several temperatures. The obtained stiffness modulus and failure strain results provide information to assess the fatigue behaviour of the analysed mastics.
