The Effect of Coarse Aggregate Gradation Degradation on the Mechanical Behavior of Asphalt Mixture

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of this study is to investigate and evaluate the effect of coarse aggregates (aggregate size bigger than 2.36 mm) on the compressive strength and creep behavior of asphalt mixture. The variable that is mainly considered in the study is the gradation degradation of coarse aggregates. A kind of standard aggregate gradation and three kinds of degraded aggregate gradation mixture specimens are used. Uniaxial compression and static creep tests were realized at different loading conditions and temperatures. The test results on asphalt mixture showed that the compressive strength and creep behavior of asphalt mixture are significant affected by the different coarse aggregate gradations.
