Marshall Stability

Stability is a measure of the strength of an asphalt mixture in resisting deformation due to loading. If a road construction structure cannot withstand the existing load, it will result in road damage that endangers road users. This study aims to improve the stability of the asphalt concrete mixture with the use of crumb rubber. Crumb rubber is used because it has good resistance and elasticity. The research was conducted experimentally by making test objects in the laboratory. In this study, five variations crumb rubber (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% of the weight asphalt mixture) were carried out with the size of the powder retained on a 40 sieve. Marshall test and analysis of volumetric was carried out to determine the characteristics of the asphalt-concrete mixture. The results showed that the highest Marshall stability was obtained at 10% crumb rubber with a stability value of 1422 kg. The use of rubber powder can significantly increase the strength and quality of the asphalt-concrete mixture. Thus, crumb rubber can be used, and this percentage can be used as a reference in the manufacture of asphalt-concrete mixtures in order to obtain good road pavement quality.

The article describes the main problems of manufacturing asphalt concrete mixtures at the factories under Ministry of Communication in the Republic of Lithuania. The Lithuanian Road Network is up to 21.122 km of state roads. 1.455 km of them are motorways, 3.415 km—national roads and 16.251 km—regional roads. Half of the state roads in Lithuania are paved with asphalt concrete. 98% of the motorways and 36% of the regional roads have asphalt pavement. Asphalt concrete pavement resistance to corrosion can be increased by improving asphalt concrete mixture production technology: ie by updating technological equipment, changing technological conditions and developing new methods of asphalt concrete mixture production. Therefore, the updating of asphalt concrete mixture production technologies is a very important factor for improving road operating properties and ensuring proper duration of asphalt concrete pavements. Here is the essence of the new separate successive technology: crushed stone and sand are mixed with bitumen in the main asphalt concrete mixer, the amount of bitumen being calculated according to the bitumen absorption in the materials. Then the asphalt cement material produced in a separate high-speed mixer is passed, and the whole mixture is remixed in the main mixer and supplied to the customer. Both separate consequent technologies differ from each other in the order of supplying asphalt cement material into the main mixing unit. Separate successive technology was theoretically grounded by the correlation between the technological thickness of bituminous film and the chemical-mineralogical composition and size of constituents, by the correlation between the particle size and their capability to compose aggregates, by the emergence of the oriented binding material coating on the technological bituminous film encoating mineral particles. Special attention is given to the manufacturing of asphalt cement material in a separate high-speed mixer (3 Table). It was theoretically grounded that mineral filler passing through the intensive shift zone between the paddle ends of the high-speed mixer and the walls of mixing chamber disintegrate and new active surfaces become visible. The molecular structure changes and free radicals appear. This intensive mixing guarantees high bitumen adsorption on the surface of mineral filler, which increases asphalt concrete resistance to corrosion and its durability, improves ecological environment in the asphalt concrete plant. In order to confirm the reliability of research results and explain correlative and regressive regularity, statistical data were processed applying statistical data processing programming system “STATGRAPHICS”. The linear regressive analysis for determining close relations of separate asphalt concrete quality indicators with speed gradient of asphalt cement material shift in a high-speed mixer was performed. Therefore, the possibility to change shift speed gradient from 3000 to 5000 1/s is provided in terms of reference for manufacturing asphalt concrete mixing plant. Correlation between separate asphalt concrete quality indicators and asphalt cement material shift speed gradient as well as bitumen amount in the asphalt cement material was determined by multi-dimensional regressive analysis of experimental data. The calculated correlation factor squared (R2) and F criteria indicate the adequacy and reliability of the multidimensional regression model.

The duration of asphalt concrete functioning depends on the quality of the asphalt concrete mixture used to pave the road. Grading of hot fractions sieved through technological sieves of asphalt concrete mixture, their pollution with particles of different size as well as stability influence on the quality of an asphalt concrete mixture. Each j - (j = 1...., m) aggregate mineral material or mixture is made up of two (mineral powder, particle of size less than 0,09 or 0,071 mm, and sand, particle of size from 2 to 0,09 mm or 5-0,071 mm) or three (crushed stone, particle size is larger than 2 or 5 mm) mineral components (i = 1, ..., k) . When required technological operations of asphalt concrete mixture production are carried out, the quantity and stability of any i - component in mineral materials change when they move through an asphalt concrete mixer. The more stable the quantity of mineral components in mineral materials (especially in finally dosed) is, the more uniform the composition of asphalt concrete mixture is produced. The experiments showed that when asphalt concrete mixture is produced applying a traditional technology in an asphalt concrete mixer of model D-597, D-508-2A, D-645-3 andD-590, sieved hot fractions of 0–5 mm and 5–15 are polluted with particles of different size by more than 10 per cent; and this pollution is neither uniform nor stable. Following a well-known theory, an average quadratic deviation σ of arithmetic undersized particles sieved through laboratory sieves ~aggregate mineral materials is the greatest when their mean X makes up 50 per cent; therefore, hot fractions of 0–5 mm and 5–15 mm were produced on the experimental data obtained from production as well as regression equations σ = ƒ( X )of statistical indeces of cold mineral powder. The values of average quadratic deviations σ µij of mineral component quantities in those finally dosed mineral materials are obtained from curves drawn according to the regression equations. They can be used to estimate dispersion σ2 Gi of mineral component i in asphalt concrete mixture which depends on the accuracy and stability of technological factors of an asphalt concrete mixer.

The article reviews the option of how to make the top pavement of asphalt-concrete mixture adhere reliably to the base, which is the underlying cement-concrete coating. The bitumen-latex emulsion is suggested as a binder for the two pavement layers. The research aimed to determine the optimal layer thickness of the bituminous-latex emulsion to be applied and achieve the maximum interlayer adhesion between the top asphalt-concrete pavement and the cement-concrete base. After full-scale experiments, the required layer thickness of the bitumen-latex emulsion was 2 mm. With this layer thickness of the binder, road pavement layers do not delaminate and shear when stressed by the intensive flows of vehicles moving on the roads. The results obtained are important for the road construction industry for suggesting the formulation of bitumen-latex emulsion and finding the most effective layer thickness to be applied. The suggested formulation of a bitumen-latex emulsion is frost-resistant. The article describes the experimental steps for determining the optimal application thickness at a fair length. The maintenance-free life of roads with an asphalt-concrete mixture on a cement-concrete base interlayered with a bitumen-latex emulsion as a binder is assumed to get much longer.

The purpose of this research is to observe the strength of asphalt concrete using solidified coal waste or geopolymer. The use of geopolymer is known in enhancing concrete mixture strength. More detail in this study is to acquire the comparison rate of stability and flow of mixture using geopolymer and the one with ordinary filler. The stability and melting rate of this mixture will determine whether the use of geopolymer as a filler material in flexible pavement is applicable. In this research, the first stage is to find the initial mix design, which is not including the geopolymer filler. From this research, it is found that the use of geopolymer increases the stability in asphalt mixture but reduce the melting rate and increase the cavity in the mixture. Although the melting rate decreases and the voids increases, the result acquired still fulfills the minimum specification of asphalt concrete for the high level of traffic load.
