The invention discloses a drainage
asphalt mixture optimization design method based on a composition mechanism. The method comprises the following steps: (1) setting a target
void ratio, and carryingout grading trial; (2) selecting a corresponding
asphalt film thickness according to the type of the used high-
viscosity asphalt and the nominal maximum particle size, and estimating the asphalt consumption; (3) checking a skeleton structure, sequentially checking a local skeleton and a global skeleton of each primary
gradation according to a
gradation skeleton theory suitable for the drainage asphalt mixture, and determining a
gradation coarse aggregate part; (4) inspecting the void structure, forming a Marshall test piece, sequentially inspecting the
void ratio and the effective
void ratio according to the effective void ratio requirements of different nominal maximum particle sizes PAC, and determining optimal gradation; (5) determining the optimal asphalt-aggregate ratio, and inspecting asphalt
coating; and (6) performing a performance test, and verifying the pavement performance. According to the method, each design link corresponds to each key performance, optimization and adjustment can be carried out in a targeted manner, and the test time and
consumables are saved while the design quality of the drainage asphalt mixture is ensured.
