Concept explainers

Bituminous Materials

The word 'bituminous' in Bituminous materials come from the word bitumen, which is popularly known as 'asphalt' in the United States. Asphalt is a heavier substance that is obtained by the fractional distillation of crude oil, after removing the lighter components such as gasoline and diesel. Asphalts are known to have good adhesive and waterproofing properties. Depending upon the grade needed, asphalt may be refined several times in the fractional distillation column.

A trial mix is required for a pavement slab being constructed exposed to freezing and thawing as well as deicing agents . The trial mix design strength is 32 MPa (including overdesign) with a 75 mm slump. For the sand; FM = 2.80 and its absorption is 1.5%. The coarse aggregate has a nominal maximum size of 25 mm with an absorption of 1.6% and a dry rodded density of 1460 kg/m3. Determine the mix design amounts for the concrete if the coarse aggregate contains 6% water. (keep all calculations and answers to one decimal place except where indicated. That is, round to one decimal place) Design Water = kg/m3 Water to Cement (W/CM) ratio = (two decimal places) Cement Content = kg/m3 Volume of coarse aggregate per unit volume of concrete = (two decimal places) Estimated total mass of concrete = kg/m3 Design mass of coarse aggregate = kg/m3 Actual mass of coarse aggregate = kg/m3 Actual mass of fine aggregate = kg/m3 Actual mass of water added = kg/m3
The Marshall method was used to design an asphalt concrete mixture. A PG 64-22 asphalt cement with a specific gravity (Gp) of 1.031 was used. The mixture contains a 9.5 mm nominal maximum particle size aggregate with a bulk specific gravity (Gab) of 2.696. The theoretical maximum specific gravity of the mix (Gmm) at asphalt con- tent of 5.0% is 2.470. Trial mixes were made with average results as shown in the following table: Asphalt Content (P.) (% by Weight of Mix) Bulk Specific Gravity (Gmb) Corrected Stability (kN) Flow (0.25 mm) 4.0 2.360 6.3 4.5 2.378 6.7 10 5.0 2.395 5.4 12 5.5 2.405 5.1 15 6.0 2.415 4.7 22 Determine the design asphalt content using the Asphalt Institute design criteria for medium traffic (Table 9.15).
