The study investigates the use of waste glass as filler in asphalt concrete. Waste glass constitutes a significant proportion of the waste generated in both developed and developing countries. Successful utilization of the waste glass in asphalt will reduce the problem faced by environmental agencies at ensuring safe disposal of the non-biodegradable waste and may improve the asphalt properties. In the study, a waste glass in form of a filler was introduced into the asphalt mix at 8%, 10%, 12%, 14%, 16%, 18% and 20% of the total mix. The asphalt concrete samples with and without waste glass as filler were subjected to the Marshall test to determine the stability, flow, air voids, void in mix aggregate and void filled with bitumen. The Marshall test results show that stability increases when increasing glass filler up to 18%, although the values were lower than of the asphalt concrete without waste glass. This implies improved resistance to fatigue for higher waste glass content. Also, the flow increases with increasing glass filler, which implies the resistance to permanent deformation which did not improve. Generally, the introduction of waste glass in the asphalt concrete is environmentally friendly, and it will aid the sustainable management of waste glass.

AbstractThis study considers the use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste for modifying asphalt concrete. In the study, the optimum bitumen content of asphalt concrete was replaced with 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 14% and 16% of PET waste; the Marshall test was conducted on the samples. A comparison of the unmodified and PET-modified asphalt concrete showed that the stability of the modified asphalt concrete was reduced. The maximum stability for the PET waste-modified asphalt concrete was recorded at a content of 12% PET waste. This gives about a 20.4% reduction in stability. The study reveals that the addition of PET waste to the asphalt concrete causes a reduction in the flow value except with the addition of 14% and 16 % waste. This implies that the introduction of PET waste could improve the permanent deformation resistance of asphalt, although there is concern about a reduction in fatigue resistance.

Abstract The need to modify conventional pavement rises due to high maintenance cost of the highway systems. With the continuously increased consumption, a large amount of waste glass materials is generated annually in the world. This paper aims to study the performance of pavement asphalt in which a fractional aggregate is replaced with crushed glass. In this paper, some important properties of asphalt mix, including stability, flow, specific gravity and air voids are investigated. The original sample is prepared without adding glass for different percentages of bitumen. Other samples are prepared by adding crushed glass to the mix with 5%, 10%, and 15% by aggregate weight. The results show that the properties of glass-asphalt mixture are improved in comparison with normal asphalt pavement. It is concluded that the use of waste glass in asphalt pavement is desirable.

With the rapid economic growth and continuously increased consumption, a large amount of glass waste materials is generated; this study investigated the effect of crushed waste glass as filler and also as an aggregate in the asphalt binder course. It compares the glassphalt mix with the specification range at different percentages to meet specifications limit according to Nigeria roads and bridges reverse book of 1997 Waste glass are cleaned and crushed from the glass bottles and added to the asphalt as a filler and as a replacement for coarse aggregates, the marshal method is used to determine the optimum bitumen content and evaluate the properties of the asphalt mix. However, 24 samples were prepared in total, 12 samples each for the asphalt mix used to determine the optimum bitumen content and the other 12 samples for the glassphalt mix used to find out the effect of adding the different percentages of crushed waste glass to the asphalt mixture. The Marshall test carried out on the asphalt mixtures showed that the optimum bitumen content of bitumen was found out to be 6.2% of the asphalt mix by weight. Also, Marshall Test carried out on the glassphalt mix showed the optimum percentage of glass used in the binder course of the weights of aggregates in the asphalt mix. The result of this experiment is been checked to be consistent with the Nigeria road and bridges reverse book of 1997, i.e. Marshall Stability, flow, bulk density, and air voids.

The main objective of this research was to investigate the contribution of pavement characteristics, traffic, and physical and mechanical properties of asphaltic mixtures to highway pavement rutting. A total of 51 pavement sections from the rural highway network in Jordan were selected for a case study. The average rut depths for these sections were measured and three cores were drilled for comprehensive laboratory testing. The investigation was performed using four approaches. The first approach considered pavement characteristics represented by surface thickness, last overlay thickness, pavement age, and subgrade California bearing ratio. The average annual equivalent single axle load was also included in this approach. The second approach included Marshall test parameters such as stability, flow, stiffness, and Marshall modulus. The third approach dealt with the effect of mixture air voids on rutting. The variables examined in this approach include air void content within the ruts, voids between ruts, voids near the pavement centerline, and the difference between centerline and rut voids. The fourth approach considered the dynamic permanent deformation characteristics of the pavement surface layer represented by the dynamic modulus. Regression analysis techniques were employed to develop statistical relationships between average rut depths and the parameters examined in each individual approach. The combined effect of these significant parameters on pavement rutting was also examined for prediction purposes. Rutting formation was found to be most dependent on the traffic loading, dynamic modulus of the bituminous mixture and its susceptibility to further compaction, and foundation soil strength.Key words: pavement rutting and characteristics, Marshall test, traffic loading, air voids, static creep, dynamic permanent deformation.

Compaction Method

Many Saskatchewan provincial highways exhibit permanent deformation that is mostly attributed to reduction in air voids in hot mix asphalt concrete surfacing. The Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) currently use the Marshall compaction method for hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) design and placement quality control and quality assurance. It has been found that the Marshall compaction method does not accurately predict field air voids. Therefore, MHI identified the need to evaluate the SuperpaveTM gyratory compaction method to predict field air voids of typical Saskatchewan asphalt mixes. This paper presents a summary of laboratory and field volumetric as well as rapid triaxial mechanistic material properties of typical Saskatchewan asphalt mixes. This research considered seven asphalt mixes from the Radisson Specific Pavement Study (SPS)-9A test site comprising two conventional Saskatchewan Marshall Type 71 mixes, five SuperpaveTM mixes, and a SuperpaveTM recycled mix. This research determined that Marshall compaction and the gyratory compaction at 1.25° gyration angle underestimate the collapse of field air voids. This research also showed that the gyratory compaction method at 2.00° angle of gyration more accurately predicted field air voids of the asphalt mixes constructed as part of test site.

Highways are important transportation infrastructures that influence economy, culture, and security. Most of the highways in Indonesia are flexible pavement that use asphalt as a binder. The use of scrapped tire rubber as a partial replacement of fine aggregates is based on the limited available natural aggregate in nature. Utilization of scrapped tire rubber as a fine aggregate is one of the alternatives for reducing environmental pollution and supporting Clean Development Mechanism program. The aim of this study is to analyze the Marshall test characteristics of asphalt concrete (AC) mixture that use scrapped tire rubber as a partial substitute of fine aggregate and comparing with a standard mixture. Laboratory tests are performed on three different types of mixtures as follows the mix without scrapped tire rubber, mix containing 50%, and 100% substitution of aggregate at fraction of No.50 with scrapped tire rubber. The test, it show that optimum asphalt content for ACStandard mixture is 6.76%, while ACScrapped-tire 50% mixture is 7.04% and ACScrapped-tire 100% mixture is 6.25%. The use of scrapped tire rubber in asphalt concrete mixtures can improve the resistance to permanent deformation and resistance to water. The use of scrapped tire rubber is acceptable as a partial replacement of aggregate in asphalt concrete mixtures.

Practical Information

Bituminous mixes are becoming increasingly important in the road industry. The road engineers identify rutting as a major source of distress in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavements. The Asphalt Mix Design Marshal method adequately addresses the aggregate and asphalt binder properties that contribute to permanent deformation. However, there is no laboratory test currently at hand to quickly predict permanent deformation susceptibility of HMA. The main purpose of this paper is to provide practical information of laboratory samples for practitioners and mix designers. Thus, relevant test procedures and results of tests conducted are reported in this paper. Two resilient behaviours of cracked sealed asphalt concrete were studied by varying temperature and time of loading to understand the crack sealed pavement behaviour under Iran conditions.

The study investigated the behaviour of asphalt concrete mixes for aggregate gradations, according to the Iraqi specification using the Bailey method designed by an Excel spreadsheet. In mixing aggregates with varying gradations (coarse and fine aggregate), The Bailey method is a systematic methodology that offers aggregate interlocking as the backbone of the framework and a controlled gradation to complete the blends. Six types of gradation are used according to the bailey method considered in this study. Two-course prepared Asphalt Concrete Wearing and Asphalt Concrete binder, the Nominal Maximum Aggregate Sizes (NMAS) of the mixtures are 19 and 12.5 mm, respectively. The total number of specimens was 240 for both layers (15 samples) for each Chosen Unit Weight (CUW). The Marshall Test results show the increase in stability and decrease in flow and bulk density when the rise in CUW for both courses. In volumetric properties, VMA increases when the increase in CUW. When an increase in CUW air void increases gradually. The permanent deformation for the coarse aggregate (95, 100, 105% CUW) has more resistances than the fine aggregate (80, 85, 90%) wearing and binder coarse. The CUW (105%) blend of wearing, and binder course has a high value of stability and resistance to permanent deformation (11.9, 11.1 kN). The CUW above mentioned is considered a good design aggregate structure and produces improvement to the Marshall properties, leading to better performance for pavement roads and higher resistance to distresses. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091693 Full Text: PDF
