چکیده

rutting of hot mix asphalt pavements due to increased number of heavy vehicles, especially in tropical regions, causes several performance problems. large stone asphalt mixtures have more stiffness and shear resistance and so more rutting resistance compared to conventional mixtures. hence, using these mixtures in thick layers of hot mix asphalt pavements at tropical regions could be an appropriate option for asphalt mix design. large stone asphalt mix (lsam) is a mixture with the nominal maximum aggregate size between 25 and 63 mm. modified marshall mix design method according to astm-d5581 is used to design these mixtures. in this laboratory research, the rutting resistance of lsam mixtures is evaluated and compared to conventional hma mixtures. large stone asphalt mixtures were designed with four different aggregate gradations as well as a conventional dense graded mixture. rutting test specimens prepared at four different asphalt contents for large stone asphalt mixtures and at optimum asphalt content for the conventional mixture. the rut depth of specimens at 60°c determined using hamburg wheel tracking device after 12000 loading cycles. the data obtained from mix design and rutting tests analyzed using spss statistic software and the effects of various parameters such as asphalt content, air voids of compacted asphalt mixture and gradation on the rutting resistance of large stone asphalt mixtures were evaluated. at the end, a mathematical model presented for predicting the rut depth of large stone asphalt mixtures.

Rutting Based Evaluation of Asphalt Mixes

Pavement rutting is one of the most common and destructive pavement distresses being observed in flexible pavements, which is primarily due to axle loads that exceed legal limit and high ambient temperatures, and also poor mix design is one of the cause of rutting. The drastic increase in traffic volume during last few decades has resulted in premature pavement failures of almost the whole road...

Effect of Reclaimed rubber Modification on the Rheological Properties and Rutting Resistance of Asphalt Binders

In this paper, the effect of reclaimed rubber modification on the rheological characteristics of asphalt binders is studied. Reclaimed rubber with the extent of 12, 16 and 20 is added to the neat asphalt binder and then shear complex modulus is obtained for neat and modified asphalt binder via Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) test. Using Christensen-Anderson- Marasteanu (CAM) model, master curves ...

Performance Evaluation of Dynamic Modulus Predictive Models for Asphalt Mixtures

Dynamic modulus characterizes the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt materials and is the most important input parameter for design and rehabilitation of flexible pavements using Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Laboratory determination of dynamic modulus is very expensive and time consuming. To overcome this challenge, several predictive models were developed to determine dyn...

Evaluation of Fatigue Properties of Asphalt Mixtures Containing Reclaimed Asphalt using Response Surface Method

This paper presents the effects of different amounts of reclaimed asphalt on fatigue life of asphalt mixtures. Central composite method was used to design of experiments based on response surface method (RSM). Binder type (Pen 60/70 and Pen 85/100), reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content (25, 50 and 75%) and loading strain (150, 250 and 350 micro strain) were selected as independent variables...
