原文 Asphalt Mixtures-Applications, Theory and Principles 1 . Applications
Asphalt materials find wide usage in the construction industry. The use of asphalt as a
cementing agent in pavements is the most common of its applications, however, and the one
that will be considered here.
Asphalt products are used to produce flexible pavements for highways and airports. The
term “flexible” is used to distinguish these pavements from those made with Portland cement,
which are classified as rigid pavements, that is, having beam strength. This distinction is
important because it provides they key to the design approach which must be used for
successful flexible pavement structures.
The flexible pavement classification may be further broken down into high and low types,
the type usually depending on whether a solid or liquid asphalt product is used. The low types
of pavement are made with the cutback, or emulsion, liquid products and are very widely used
throughout this country. Descriptive terminology has been developed in various sections of
the country to the extent that one pavement type may have several names. However, the
general process followed in construction is similar for most low-type pavements and can be
described as one in which the aggregate and the asphalt product are usually applied to the
roadbed separately and there mixed or allowed to mix, forming the pavement.
The high type of asphalt pavements is made with asphalt cements of some selected
penetration grade. XX大学 学生毕业设计

They are used when high wheel loads and high volumes of traffic occur and are, therefore,
often designed for a particular installation.
2 . Theory of asphalt concrete mix design
High types of flexible pavement are constructed by combining an asphalt cement, often in
the penetration grade of 85 to 100, with aggregates that are usually divided into three groups,
based on size. The three groups are coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and mineral filler.
These will be discussed in detail in later chapter.
Each of the constituent parts mentioned has a particular function in the asphalt mixture,
and mix proportioning or design is the process of ensuring that no function is neglected.
Before these individual functions are examined, however, the criteria for pavement success
and failure should be considered so that design objectives can be established.
A successful flexible pavement must have several particular properties. First, it must be
stable, that is to resistant to permanent displacement under

load. Deformation of an asphalt
pavement can occur in three ways, two unsatisfactory and one desirable. Plastic deformation XX大学 学生毕业设计

of a pavement failure and which is to be avoided if possible. Compressive deformation of the
pavement results in a dimensional change in the pavement, and with this change come a loss
of resiliency and usually a degree of roughness. This deformation is less serious than the one
just described, but it, too, leads to pavement failure. The desirable type of deformation is an
elastic one, which actually is beneficial to flexible pavements and is necessary to their long life.
The pavement should be durable and should offer protection to the subgrade. Asphalt
cement is not impervious to the effects of weathering, and so the design must minimize
weather susceptibility. A durable pavement that does not crack or ravel will probably also
protect the roadbed. It must be remembered that flexible pavements transmit loads to the
subgrade without significant bridging action, and so a dry firm base is absolutely essential.
Rapidly moving vehicles depend on the tire-pavement friction factor for control and
safety. The texture of the pavement surfaces must be such that an adequate skid resistance is
developed or unsafe conditions result. The design procedure should be used to select the
asphalt material and aggregates combination which provides a skid resistant roadway.
Design procedures which yield paving mixtures embodying all these properties are not
available. Sound pavements are constructed where materials and methods are selected by
using time-tested tests and specifications and engineering judgments along with a so-called
design method.
The final requirement for any pavement is one of economy. Economy, again, cannot be
measured directly, since true economy only begins with construction cost and is not fully
determinable until the full useful life of the pavement has been recorded. If, however, the
requirements for a stable, durable, and safe pavement are met with a reasonable safety factor,
then the best interests of economy have probably been served as well.
With these requirements in mind, the functions of the constituent parts can be examined
with consideration give to how each part contributes to now-established objectives or
requirements. The functions of the aggregates is to carry the load imposed on the pavement,
and this is accomplished by frictional resistance and interlocking between the individual
pieces of aggregates. The carrying capacity of the asphalt pavement is, then, related to the
surface texture (particularly that of the fine aggregate) and the density, or “compactness,”, of
the aggregates. Surface texture varies with different aggregates, and while a rough surface XX大学

texture is desired, this may not be available in some localities. Dense mixtures are obtained by
using aggregates that are either naturally or artificially “well graded”. This means that the fine
aggregate serves to fill the voids in the coarser aggregates. In addition to affecting density and
therefore strength characteristics, the grading also influences workability. When an excess of
coarse aggregate is used, the mix becomes harsh and hard to work. When an excess of
mineral filler is used, the mixes become gummy and difficult to manage.
The asphalt cement in the flexible pavement is used to bind the aggregate particles
together and to waterproof the pavements. Obtaining the proper asphalt content is extremely
important and bears a significant influence on all the items marking a successful pavement. A
chief objective of all the design methods which have been developed is to arrive at the best
asphalt content for a particular combination of aggregates.
3 . Mix design principles
Certain fundamental principles underlie the design procedures that have been developed.
Before these procedures can be properly studied or applied, some consideration of these
principles is necessary.
Asphalt pavements are composed of aggregates, asphalt cement, and voids. Considering
the aggregate alone, all the space between particles is void space. The volume of aggregate
voids depends on grading and can vary widely. When the asphalt cement is added, a portion of
these aggregate voids is filled and a final air-void volume is retained. The retention of this
air-void volume is very important to the characteristics of the mixture. The term air-void
volume is used, since these voids are weightless and are usually expressed as a percentage of
the total volume of the compacted mixture.
An asphalt pavement carries the applied load by particle friction and interlock. If the
particles are pushed apart for any reason , then the pavement stability is destroyed. This
factor indicates that certainly no more asphalt should be added than the aggregate voids can
readily hold. However ,asphalt cement is susceptible to volume change and the pavement is
subject to further compaction under use. If the pavement has no air voids when placed, or if it
loses them under traffic, then the expanding asphalt will overflow in a condition known as
bleeding. The loss of asphalt cement through bleeding weakens the pavement and also
reduces surface friction, making the roadway hazardous. XX大学 学生毕业设计

Fig. ?3 Cross section of an asphalt concrete pavement showing the aggregate framework bound together by
asphalt cement. The need for a minimum air-void volume (usually 2 or 3 per cent ) has been established.
In addition, a maximum air-void volum

e of 5 to 7 per cent should not be exceed. An excess of
air voids promotes raveling of the pavement and also permits water to enter and speed up the
deteriorating processes. Also, in the presence of excess air the asphalt cement hardens and
ages with an accompanying loss of durability and resiliency.
The air-void volume of the mix is determined by the degree of compaction as well as by
the asphalt content. For a given asphalt content, a lightly compacted mix will have a large
voids volume and a lower density and a greater strength will result. In the laboratory, the
compaction is controlled by using a specified hammer and regulating the number of blows
and the energy per blow. In the field, the compaction and the air voids are more difficult to
control and tests must be made no specimens taken from the compacted pavement to cheek
on the degree of compaction being obtained. Traffic further compact the pavement, and
allowance must be made for this in the design. A systematic checking of the pavement over an
extended period is needed to given factual information for a particular mix. A change in
density of several per cent is not unusual, however.
Asphalt content has been discussed in connection with various facets of the ix design
problem. It is a very important factor in the mix design and has a bearing an all the
characteristics ld a successful pavement: stability, skid resistance, durability, and economy. As
has been mentioned, the various design procedures are intended to provide a means for
selecting the asphalt content . These tests will be considered in detail in a future chapter ,but XX大学 学生毕业设计

the relationship between asphalt content and the measurable properties of stability, unit
weight, and air voids will be discussed here.
Fig.4 Variations in stability, unit weight, and air-void content with asphalt cement content. If the gradation and type of aggregate, the degree of compaction, and the type of asphalt
cement are controlled, then the strength varies in a predictable manner. The strength will
increase up to some optimum asphalt content and then decrease with further additions. The
pattern of strength variation will be different when the other mix factors are changed, and so
only a typical pattern can be predicted prior to actual testing.
Unit weight varies in the same manner as strength when all other variable are controlled.
It will reach some peak value at an asphalt content near that determined from the strength
curve and then fall off with further additions.
As already mentioned, the air-void volume will vary with asphalt content. However, the
manner of variation is different in that increased asphalt content will decrease air-void
volume to some minimum value which is approached asymptotically. With still greater
additions of asphalt materia

l the particles of aggregate are only pushed apart and no change
occurs in air-void volume.
In summary, certain principles involving aggregate gradation, air-void volume, asphalt
content, and compaction mist be understood before proceeding to actual mix design. The
proper design based on these principles will result in sound pavements. If these principles are
overlooked, the pavement may fail by one or more of the recognized modes of failure: shoving,
rutting, corrugating, becoming slick when the max is too ‘rich’; raveling, cracking, having
low durability when the mix is too ‘lean’.
It should be again emphasized that the strength of flexible is, more accurately, a stability XX大学 学生毕业设计

and does not indicate any ability to bridge weak points in the subgrade by beam strength. No
asphalt mixture can be successful unless it rests on top of a properly designed and
constructed base structure. This fact, that the surface is no better than the base, must be
continually in the minds of those concerned with any aspect of flexible pavement work. XX大学 学生毕业设计

要的影响。设计的首要目标是对于特定的集料组合确定沥青的最佳用量。
3 、混合料配合比设计原则
某些基本原则被制定为设计程序的基础程序。在这些步骤之前进行某些原
则的的研究或应用是很有必要的。
沥青路面由集料、沥青胶结料和空隙组成。对于单独的集料颗粒而言它的
周围都是空隙空间寂寥的空隙率和集料分级有关系并会在很大的范围内变化。
当沥青用量增加时一部分集料的空隙将被填充最后的空气空隙将得到保留。
这部分保留的空气空隙对于混合料的特性是非常重要的。因为这些空隙没有质
量因而常以体积计算并通常作为混合料的压实总体积百分数表示。
沥青路面通过集料颗粒的摩擦和自锁能力承载外加荷载。如果颗粒由于某种
原因被挤出那么路面的稳定性将遭到破坏这是由于混合料中没有添加足够的
沥青来有效地约束集料间的空隙的因素。然而沥青混凝土对空隙体积的变化时
十分敏感的路面将根据使用情况进一步被压实。如果路面修筑时没有预留空隙
或者在交通荷载下空隙被挤压然后多余的沥青将有条件溢出这被称作泛油。
泛油的沥青路面既减小路面厚度也降低表面摩擦能力使道路变得危险。 XX大学 学生毕业设计

如果集料的级配压实度沥青种类得到控制那么强度的变化方式是可以
预测的。强度将随沥青用量接近最佳用量增长随着沥青用量的进一步增加强
度将逐渐降低。混合料的强度曲线将随着其他组分的改变而有所不同因此在试

当所有其他因素都保持不变时强度和密度的变化有一定联系。强度随沥青
