Asphalt Mixture
Asphalt mixture is a blend of asphalt binder and aggregates, and is the most widely used paving material. The properties of asphalt mixture directly determine pavement performance. Therefore, how to evaluate the performance of asphalt mixture and designing mixture formula are of great importance. This chapter introduces the classification, structure, properties, tests, volumetric parameters, mixture design, and construction of asphalt mixtures. It starts with introducing the classification, composition and strength parameters of asphalt mixture. It then introduces the key properties and related tests, including high temperature stability, low temperature cracking, fatigue performance, moisture susceptibility and friction. The high temperature stability tests include Marshall stability test, loaded wheel test, Hamburg wheel tracking test, indirect tensile resilient modulus test, and asphalt mixture performance tests. The volumetric parameters of asphalt mixtures are discussed in detail, based on which the Marshall and Superpave mixture design methods are then introduced. By the end of the chapter, several typical mixtures and the construction process are discussed.
