Pavement Performance Comparison of Bituminous Mixtures at Surface Course

Abstract:

The pavement performance study of bituminous mixture at surface course is very important. This paper focused on comparing the pavement performance of AC-l6C, AC-l6F, Super-12.5 and SMA-16 bituminous mixtures. First the gradations and material we used were illustrated. Then the dynamic stability, water stability and texture depth of these bituminous mixtures was tested. After comparing the test data, we found that the SMA-16 bituminous mixture has the best comprehensive pavement performance and it is most suitable for the surface layer bituminous mixture of freeways in Chinese Hubei Province. Super-12.5 and AC-l6C is applicable too, but AC-l6F is improper in this region.
