Anchor: #i1013899 Section 6: Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavement Mixtures Anchor: #i1013905 6.1 General. Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is a generic term that includes many different types of mixtures of aggregate and asphalt cement (binder) produced at elevated temperatures (generally between 300-350ºF) in an asphalt …
The National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) has completed a pilot project to define parameters for designing recycled hot-mix asphalt mixtures using Superpave technology. A more in-depth project has just begun under the sponsorship of NCHRP (Project 9-12) and recommendations from the NCHRP effort are a couple of years away.

The pavement design requires the proper hot mix asphalt paving mixtures for the base and surface pavements. It is important that a Job Mix Formula for the paving mixture be established for and approved by the engineer. A reputable hot mix asphalt producer,providing standard
Some aggregate sizes will decrease asphalt VMA by filling space. What we're going to do in this video is compare the aggregate size distribution during the mix design to the aggregate size distribution in production and see which aggregate sizes are increasing space, or VMA, and which aggregate sizes are decreasing space, or decreasing asphalt VMA.
Calculate the percent voids filled with asphalt in the compacted mixture. (VFA) 2.12. Calculate the limiting asphalt content at the tentative design asphalt content. (P' b max) 2.13. Calculate the Bearing Capacity for each asphalt content. 3. Equations.
ACI Mix Design The most common method used in North America is that established by ACI Recommended Practice 211.1 Any mix design procedure will provide a first approximation of the proportions and must be checked by trial batches. Local characteristics in materials should be …
Asphalt Mix Design- Marshall Method Rajib Chattaraj Astt. Chief Engineer, NH, PW (R)D f The aim of the Mix Design • Asphalt Mix Design is a very delicate engineering activity. • It has to address many criteria : strength, stability, durability, impermeability, workability, surface skid resistance, resistance against fatigue cracking and ...
The Asphalt Institute's manual on asphalt hot mix recycling also provides trial mix design examples that indicate how to use a viscosity blending chart to design a recycled hot mix. The Asphalt Institute suggests that when 20 percent or less RAP is used in a mix, no change in asphalt grade is required.
Rubberized Asphalt Mix Design. In work with Illinois Tollway contractors, Asphalt Plus participated in early balanced asphalt mix design efforts in Tollway main line SMA mix designs. Dry process rubber using Elastiko R ECR was used in SMA and dense-graded applications on I-355, I-88 and I-294, which include pavements with more than 30 Million ...
The primary features of Marshall mix design are a density/voids analysis and the stability/flow test. Prior to Superpave, Marshall mix design was widely used in the United States, and is by far, the most commonly used asphalt mixture design procedure worldwide. Refinements to the concepts of asphalt mix design procedures came about not only with
The ia Department of Transportation (VDOT) specifications, standards, and test methods have been the standard in ia for more than 50 years. During that time VDOT has changed their nomenclature for asphalt mixes several times, typically following a major rewrite of their asphalt specifications and mix design criteria.
The mix design for asphalt emulsions can vary slightly depending on the material. It is always a good idea to consult your material provider. For an accurate mix design using coal tar or asphalt emulsions use the Paveman Pro mix design calculator on this web site.
The asphalt binder correction factor from one mix design to another can vary greatly, up to about 2.0 percent, due to the different aggregate types being used in each design. However, the difference in correction factors from one oven to another should be relatively minor, typically no more than 0.2 percent.

An asphalt mix design can be created using the following 10 steps. Step 1: Setup. The user inputs basic mix design information, binder information, consensus and specific gravity test results, and the number of trial aggregate blends (at least one) to be evaluated. …
Superpave Mix Design 43 Estimated Volumetric at 4% AV P be = P bi – 0.4 x (4-V a) P be: estimated design asphalt content P bi: asphalt content used in trial blends VMA e = VMA i + C x (4-V a) VMA e: estimated VMA at design asphalt content VMA i: initial VMA of trial blend C= constant: 0.1 when air voids < 4% and 0.2 when air voids > 4%
Samples of asphalt mixtures were prepared at four different asphalt contents by weight of asphalt mix mass (5%, 5.5%, 6%, and 6.5%), with three replications per asphalt content. For base asphalt cement and each modifier concentration, one asphalt cement content was chosen, which met the requirement of Superpave mix design 4% air voids.
The Marshall mix design method can use any suitable method for estimating optimum asphalt content and usually relies on local procedures or experience. Sample Asphalt Binder Contents Based on the results of the optimum asphalt binder content estimate, samples are typically prepared at 0.5 percent by weight of mix increments, with at least two ...
The heart of the Superpave mixture design system is aggregate properties and volumetric properties. If all the requirements are met, the resulting mix design should have: • a strong aggregate skeleton for permanent deformation resistance. • sufficient asphalt binder for fatigue and asphalt …
The Interim Guidelines for the Design of Hot Mix Asphalt in South Africa (IGHMA) was prepared in 2001 as part of the Hot Mix Asphalt Design Project launched in 1998 by SANRAL (South African National Road Agency Ltd), CSIR Transportek and Sabita (Southern African Bitumen Association). The aim was to develop a new HMA design method for South Africa.

Troubleshooting asphalt mixes. You have just completed an asphalt mix design and are ready to do a plant trial. The mix properties all look good, air voids are on target, VMA (voids in the mineral aggregate) and VFA (voids filled with asphalt) are good. During the plant trial, the mix looks dry, but the binder content and gradation are on target.
Asphalt Rubber Applications • Asphalt rubber is the process of adding recycled, crumb rubber to hot mix asphalt (called dry process) or the asphalt binder (called wet process) to modify the final mixture • Difficult to use in dense-graded mixtures due to residual crumb rubber • Best used in gap-graded type mixtures (SMA and OGFC)
