Determine the allowable number of repetitions N for an asphalt mix that has the design modulus of 3.2×10×106kPa. The load-induced tensile strain at the base of the asphalt beam specimen was 150με. Given, the percentage by volume of bitumen in the asphalt was 10.0, the laboratory to service life fatigue factor was 5, and the project had the desired reliability of 90%.
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 Superpave volumetric procedure has been widely implemented, with success- ful results. However, the method lacks a strength test to verify the suitability of the Superpave mixes. Research completed in NCHRP Project 9-19 developed "simple performance tests" for asphalt concrete (Witczak et al., 2002), currently called the Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester, AMPT, Figure 9.34. The AMPT is not currently a requirement for Superpave mix design, but implementation studies are underway. In addition, the test method was designed to capture the material properties needed for the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design System, MEPDS. The equipment and associated protocols of the AMPT tests are designed to cap- ture the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt concrete. Tests based on measurement of dynamic modulus (for both of permanent deformation and fatigue cracking), flow time (permanent deformation), and flow number (permanent deformation) were selected for further field validation. The three…
