Minimum Aggregate Quality Levels for Stone Mastic Asphalt Mixtures
Aggregate quality is considered an essential element in the formulation/design of SMA mixtures. A variety of SMA mixtures containing aggregates from Florida and other states were evaluated for their resistance to rutting, fatigue cracking, thermal cracking and moisture damage. Tests performed to evaluate rutting/shear strength included the Georgia Loaded Wheel Tester, Triaxial Repeated Load, and compaction-densification by Gyratory Testing Machine to assess shear resistance. Other tests included resilient modulus, indirect tensile strength and strain, diametral creep, low temperature resilient modulus, wet/dry resilient modulus and indirect tension for tensile strength ratio.
