Asphalt concrete can be made through several methods including hot mix using Starbit E-55 asphalt as a binder and limestone as filler. This research aimed to determine the feasibility of the use of limestone as filler in AC-WC mixture and to identify the effects of limestone addition on the Marshall Characteristics, Durability, Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS), and Permeability. The first stage was to test the properties of materials consisting of aggregate, asphalt, and limestone. The second stage was to determine the optimum asphalt content with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% filler proportions, and the last stage was to conduct the Marshall, Immersion, ITS, and Permeability tests. The results showed that limestone has been in accordance with the performance requirements specified for a filler of AC-WC mixture using Starbit E-55 asphalt as a binder. There was a change in the Marshall characteristics of optimum asphalt content. The durability increased, and the ITS values of AC-WC mixture improved along with the increase in limestone proportion. However, the permeability test indicated that the mixture has a poor drainage feature towards water after variation in filler proportions was performed.

Significant quantities of coconut shell (CS), a by-product of agriculture, can be used as an artificial source of coarse aggregates. In this study, four CSs were used as coarse aggregates replacement in asphalt concrete with 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% weight volumes. The particle sizes of the CSs used as main coarse aggregates range from 5 mm to 20 mm. The Marshall Stability test shows that the optimum bitumen content for asphalt mixtures is 5.1%. The engineering properties investigated include the volumetric, dynamic creep, indirect tensile strength, and resilient modulus. Test results show that stability decreases with increasing CS content because of high water absorption. Considering that CSs absorb bitumen, a further detailed investigation is needed to assess the performance of modified bitumen on mixture. Furthermore, the use of CSs as coarse aggregates in asphalt concrete help increase the resilient modulus, stiffness, and indirect tensile strength up to 30%. Generally, a 10% replacement of coarse aggregates with CSs is the optimal limit.

There are three major steel-manufacturing factories in Jordan. All of their by-product, steel slag, is dumped randomly in open areas, causing many environmentally hazardous problems. This research was intended to study the effectiveness of using steel slag aggregate (SSA) in improving the engineering properties of locally produced asphalt concrete (AC) mixes. The research started by evaluating the toxicity and chemical and physical properties of the steel slag. Then 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the limestone coarse aggregate in the AC mixes was replaced by SSA. The effectiveness of the SSA was judged by the improvement in indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus, rutting resistance, fatigue life, creep modulus, and stripping resistance of the AC samples. It was found that replacing up to 75% of the limestone coarse aggregate by SSA improved the mechanical properties of the AC mixes. The results also showed that the 25% replacement was the optimal replacement level. Key words: steel slag aggregate, asphalt concrete, Superpave, indirect tensile strength, fatigue, rutting, creep.

Various modes of compacting the asphalt concrete mixture can createmechanically different behaviour of the prepared specimens and can alterits sustainability. An attempt has been made in the present assessment toprepare asphalt concrete specimens by implementation of three modesof compaction, the gyratory, the roller, and the Marshall hammer. Thespecimens were prepared at the target bulk density of Marshall methodat optimum asphalt content. Extra specimens were prepared at 0.5 %asphalt below and above the optimum. Core specimens have been obtainedfrom the roller compacted slab samples. The specimens were tested forthe Marshall stiffness, tensile, and shear strength. It was observed that atoptimum asphalt content, the indirect tensile strength declines by (18.8and 70.5) % for gyratory and roller compacted specimens respectively ascompared with hammer compacted specimens. At optimum asphalt content,the shear strength declines by (70.5 and 82.2) % while Marshall stiffnessdeclines by (10.2 and 44.8) % for hammer and roller compacted specimensas compared with that of gyratory compacted specimen. Specimensprepared by gyratory compaction are less susceptible to the change inthe testing temperature as compared with other modes of compaction. Itis recommended to consider the mode of compaction to suit the requireddesign property of sustainable asphalt concrete mixture.

An unravelling porous asphalt concrete was developed by adding steel wool and heating it with induction energy. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of the steel wool distribution on the properties of this unravelling porous asphalt concrete. The mixture was mixed for 10 min, 12 min, 15 min or 20 min respectively, and then samples were prepared with a gyratory compactor. The steel wool distribution at different mixing time was compared with CT scanning analysis. The electrical resistance, indirect tensile strength and induction heating speed of samples with different mixing time were also studied. It was found that a better distribution of steel wool in porous asphalt concrete increased its indirect tensile strength, but decreased its electrical conductivity and induction heating speed. 15 min mixing is sufficient to disperse steel wool to a homogenous distribution.

The effect of using reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) to asphalt concrete mixtures besides their utilization is to reduce the amount of the new bituminous binder and aggregate added to hot mix asphalt. This publication presents studies on asphalt mixtures with an increased up to 40% amount of RAP additive with the simultaneous use of 2 types of added bitumen, i.e. 35/50 and PMB 25/55-60. The aim of the paper is the evaluation of the basic mixture properties in a wide range of operating temperatures, as a part of the AC testing at high temperatures, the resistance to rutting at 60° C and indirect tensile strength at 40° C. The assessment of properties at intermediate operating temperatures is based on indirect tensile tests, including: elastic stiffness modulus at 5° C, 15° C and 30° C and static strength at 25° C. The low temperature properties have been tested in water and frost resistance tests by indirect tensile strength ratio. The results of the study were subjected to the analysis of the statistical significance of differences, which showed an improvement in the resistance of AC with the addition of RAP to the formation of permanent deformations and an increase in the stiffness modulus as well as indirect tensile strength. There was no adverse effect of the RAP additive on asphalt mixtures resistance to water and frost action.

Abstract This paper presents the results of research on the durability of Asphalt Concrete-Wear Asphalt (AC-WC) mixture using latex material to water immersion. Resistance to warm water immersion is intended to measure the durability of asphalt mixture in serving traffic loads against the influence of water and temperature factors. The use of latex material is intended to improve the performance of the mixture. This research uses a laboratory-scale test. The specimen of AC-WC added with latex was tested for its tensile strength using the Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) test. Other specimens are immersed in water at 60°C with a continuous and periodic soaking system. The continuous immersion was carried out for 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours, while the periodic immersion was carried out for 12 hours soaked and 12 hours exposed alternately. The durability was analyzed using the Residual Strength Index indicator. The analysis shows that the addition of latex increased the tensile strength of the AC-WC mixture based on the ITS test results. The AC-WC mixture added with latex can increase its resistance to continuous and periodic immersion, by increasing the residual strength index and decreasing IKS with increasing immersion time. Continuous immersion has a greater impact on reducing IKS than periodic. In specimens without latex, the decrease in IKS values between continuous and periodic soaking has the same pattern, but in specimens with latex, the pattern is different. Keywords: asphalt concrete; latex; water immersion; Indirect Tensile Strength; Residual Strength Index.  Abstrak Makalah ini menyajikan hasil penelitian mengenai ketahanan campuran beraspal Asphalt Concrete-Wearing Course (AC-WC) yang menggunakan bahan lateks terhadap rendaman air. Ketahanan terhadap perendaman air hangat dimaksudkan untuk mengukur daya tahan campuran aspal dalam melayani beban lalu lintas terhadap pengaruh faktor air dan temperatur. Penggunaan bahan lateks dimaksudkan untuk memperbaiki kinerja cam-puran. Penelitian ini menggunakan uji skala laboratorium. Kekuatan tarik benda uji AC-WC dengan lateks diuji menggunakan uji Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS). Benda uji yang lain direndam dalam air bertemperatur 60oC dengan sistem rendaman menerus dan rendaman berkala. Metode perendaman secara menerus dilakukan selama 0, 24 jam, 48 jam, dan 72 jam, sedangkan rendaman secara berkala dilakukan 12 jam direndam dan 12 jam diekspose secara bergantian. Tingkat keawetan dianalisis menggunakan indikator Indeks Kekuatan Sisa (IKS). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa penambahan lateks meningkatkan kekuatan tarik campuran AC-WC berdasarkan hasil uji ITS. Ketahanan terhadap perendaman menerus dan berkala, campuran AC-WC menggu-nakan lateks meningkat, dengan meningkatnya indeks kekuatan sisa dan menurunnya IKS dengan bertambah-nya lama rendaman. Perendaman secara menerus memberi dampak yang lebih besar dalam menurunkan IKS dibanding perendaman berkala. Pada benda uji tanpa lateks, penurunan nilai IKS antara rendaman menerus dan rendaman berkala memiliki pola yang sama, namun pada benda uji dengan lateks pola penurunan nilai IKS berbeda. Kata-kata kunci: campuran beraspal; lateks; rendaman air; Indirect Tensile Strength; Indeks Kekuatan Sisa.
