A design method of atb-25 asphalt mixture

Abstract

The invention discloses a design method for an ATB-25 asphalt mixture. The method adopts a vertical vibration method. The method comprises steps of raw material selection and measurement, mineral aggregate gradation design, optimal asphalt-aggregate ratio determination, performance examination, and the like. Tests show that the asphalt mixture designed by the method has advantages of good pavement performance, reduced asphalt amount and operation convenience, and 8%-10% of the asphalt can be saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the application technical field of traffic civil engineering, and in particular relates to a design method of ATB-25 asphalt mixture. The method adopts the vertical vibration method (VVTM) design, which can reduce the amount of asphalt, improve the road performance of the asphalt mixture, and is easy to operate, suitable for large-scale popularization and application. Background technique [0002] At present, the design methods of ATB-25 asphalt mixture mainly include Marshall method, GTM method and Hveem method. The expensive equipment used by the GTM method is not conducive to popularization; the design results of the Hveem method have poor correlation with the field. At present, the Marshall method is still the main method for asphalt mixture design in most countries. [0003] ATB-25 asphalt mixture in my country generally adopts the Marshall design method in "Technical Specifications for Construction of Highway Asphalt Pa...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0013] (1) The forming method of the Marshall design method cannot accurately simulate the compaction effect of the wheels on the road surface

There is no internal connection between compaction work and traffic volume, and the density of the formed test piece cannot reflect the density of the road after it has been opened to traffic for many years, and the physical and mechanical properties of the test piece do not match the actual road surface;

[0014] (2) The Marshall design method is no longer suitable for the needs of modern transportation development

The various technical standards of the current Marshall method for designing asphalt mixtures were proposed based on the traffic volume in the early 1980s, but the current traffic conditions of arterial highways have undergone significant changes, showing the characteristics of "large flow and heavy axle load" Obviously, the various technical standards proposed by the Marshall Act can no longer meet the current traffic requirements for road performance.
