The most important aggregate properties that affect asphalt absorption into aggregates are pore size distribution, chemical and mineral composition of the aggregate, surface roughness, and wetting properties (15,16,23,25,26). The pore characteristics of aggzegates can be determined using a variety of methods such as mercury porosimetry

Asphalt Concrete Aggregate and Asphalt Cement Supplement. Recycled asphalt pavement can be used as an aggregate substitute material, but in this application it also provides additional asphalt cement binder, thereby reducing the demand for asphalt cement in new or recycled asphalt mixes containing RAP. ... California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values ...

maximum ratio of 1:3 to 1:5. However, this ratio represents neither flatness nor elongation of the aggregate particles and, therefore, its engineering value is questionable. Figure 2 shows the percentage of states that specify the ratios of 3:1, 4:1 and 5:1 for maximum to minimum dimensions. The 5:1 ratio is specified by 80 percent states.

When the filler asphalt ratio is in the range between 0.5 and 1.5, the mixture's bending strength is above 9 MPa. When the filler asphalt ratio is at 1.11, the mixture's bending strength reaches the maximum. As the filler asphalt ratio increases, the mixture's maximum bending strain changes to a convex curve.

2.2. Mixtures. Four HMAs were designed to investigate the water stability of the mixture. The aggregate used in the asphalt mixture was RCA and limestone, and the content of RCA in the aggregate was 0%, 30%, 60%, and , respectively, which were marked as M1, M2, M3, and M4.

The asphalt content of the RAP is 5.1 percent and the asphalt content of the mix design is 5.6 percent. The percentage of total aggregate by weight of total mix is…. 100-Pbtotal = 100-5.6 = 94.4%. Therefore, the percentage of RAP aggregate by weight of total blend is…. 19.0%/94.4% = 0.201 or 20.1%. So saying "20 percent RAP by weight of ...

For these calculations, the Poisson's ratio value was assumed as typical values for asphalt concrete depending on the temperature: m = 0.21 for a temperature of 5°C, m = 0.26 for a temperature of ...

By manipulating the variables of aggregate, asphalt binder and the ratio between the two, mix design seeks to achieve the following qualities in the final HMA product (Roberts et al., 1996): Deformation resistance: HMA should not distort (rut) or deform (shove) under traffic loading. HMA deformation is related to aggregate surface and abrasion

This procedure covers the determination of asphalt binder content of hot mix asphalt (HMA) by ignition of the binder in accordance with AASHTO T 308-10. Overview The sample is heated in a furnace at 538°C (1000°F) or less; samples may be heated by convection or direct infrared irradiation (IR). The aggregate remaining after burning can be

Total asphalt content is the amount of asphalt that must be added to the mixture to produce the desired mix qualities. Effective asphalt content is the volume of asphalt not absorbed by the aggregate; the amount of asphalt that effectively forms a bonding film on the aggregate surfaces. Effective asphalt content is calculated by
