Utilization of Steel Slag as Aggregates for SMA-13

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new method to make SMA is developed by using SBS modified asphalt when the coarse aggregate steel slag and the fine basalt aggregate are selected respectively. The Mix Proportion is 1#(16-9.5mm, steel slag):2#(9.5-4.75mm, steel slag):3#(3-4.75mm, basalt):4#(3-0mm, basalt):5# (mineral powder)=38%:36%:8%:8%:10%.The optimal asphalt content (OAC) is 6.4%. The mass percentage of steel slag is reached 74%. The costs of this kind of high quality road material can be saved because the amount of asphalt is not increased. Based on Marshall Stability and Splitting Strength test, it is shown that the Marshall stability of SMA is 10.6 kN, dynamic stability is 7800, and tensile strength ratio is 89.2%. All above test values are superior to the standards in China's traffic regulations. The water permeability coefficient of SMA is 65, which means that SMA has an excellence Wear-Resistant performance. Therefore, SMA can increase the road useful life and reduce the road maintenance costs.
