Application of Bailey Method in Determining Aggregate Gradation in Dense Graded Asphalt Concrete in Vietnam
The Bailey Method is a gradation design of asphalt concrete that has been used in many countries around the world and has not been used popular in Vietnam. This method depends on the combination of the coarse in addition with fine aggregates to form a strong aggregate skeleton. Interlocking and proportion of coarse aggregates to fine aggregates are important factors for asphalt concrete that has high rutting resistance and long-term performance. Besides, rutting problem is the famous distress in Vietnam, especially in Ho Chi Minh city because of poor gradation, poor material, hot weather, and so on. As a result, in order to improve rutting performance of dense graded asphalt concrete, this paper shows the basic design steps of aggregate gradation for asphalt mixture using Bailey method and two gradations of asphalt mixture were designed applying the Bailey Method. The paper also presents the effect of the method from laboratory tests including Marshall stability, indirect tensile strength and rut depth from wheel tracking test.
