In this paper, the asphalt mixture proportions for Hao-Tong highway was investigated using Sup25 gradation design method. Marshall Test was applied to estimate performance of asphalt concrete. Based on the actual project application, the methods of construction technology and construction quality control of Sup25 asphalt mixture were discussed in this paper. The test results showed that water permeability, degree of compaction and rutting of the Sup25 asphalt mixture layer meet the requirements of Chinese specification.

In recent years, as a new type of asphalt mixture, rubber asphalt mixture has a lot of excellent road performance, and is being widely used, but the rubber asphalt quality control measures are still in the exploratory stage. How to control the quality of rubber asphalt pavement, and provide technical support for more and more rubber asphalt pavement construction is particularly important. This article mainly analyzes and summarizes from raw material selection of rubber asphalt mixture, mix proportion design of rubber asphalt mixture and measures of construction quality control, forming a set of construction quality control technology of rubber asphalt pavement

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in incorporating performance testing during the mixture design and quality control testing of asphalt mixtures. The move toward utilizing performance related specifications (PRS) and balanced mixture design concepts have pushed the need for asphalt mixture performance testing to the forefront. Numerous researchers have proposed a variety of laboratory tests that have showed promise at predicting asphalt mixture performance, yet most of these test methods are never adopted due to a number of issues often cited by the asphalt industry: (1) equipment cost; (2) equipment/test method complexity; and (3) time/labor effort required. The research presented here summarizes the effort to evaluate the indirect tensile test (IDT) as a potential performance indicator for hot-mix asphalt that can be easily utilized during quality control testing at an asphalt plant. Utilizing the same test equipment and basic procedure, both high-temperature rutting and intermediate-temperature fatigue cracking can be evaluated in a timely manner. Comparison testing to more standardized and accepted rutting and fatigue cracking test methods have shown excellent agreement, indicating that the suite of IDT tests have potential for adoption within a quality control testing program. Examples of criteria are given utilizing the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s (NJDOT) PRS.

As an important part of the asphalt pavement construction, quality control is directly related to the life of road. In view of the non-uniformity issues in asphalt mixture production and construction processes, depending on the segregation standards in asphalt pavement testing, the universal volumetric chart is used to control the asphalt mixture’s volume indexes in this paper. And a PQI (pavement quality indicator) is used to make a non-destructive inspection of the pavement density. Finally, the controlling and monitoring system from asphalt mixture production to asphalt pavement construction and applying software with asphalt pavement construction quality control and quality assurance in the platform of MATLAB are developed in this paper. According to the field application, the system and software developed in this paper could be well used in the asphalt pavement construction quality control.
