چکیده
Bituminous mix design is a delicate balancing act among the proportions of various aggregate sizes and bitumen content. For a given aggregate gradation, the optimum bitumen content is estimated by satisfying a number of mix design parameters. This article briefly discusses the current approaches in bituminous mix design and singles out the issues involved.

Some Considerations in Bituminous Mix Design Awaiting Implementation in Highway Construction
Bituminous mix design is a delicate balancing act between the proportions of aggregate sizes and bitumen content. For a given aggregate gradation, the optimum bitumen content is estimated by satisfying a number of mix design parameters recommended in the specifications. In this paper, some of new considerations related to the bituminous mix design are discussed. Bituminous mix design, with thes...
متن کاملSimple Approach for Determination of Optimum Gradation Considering the Combined Index and Angularity Number of Stone Aggregates
A satisfactory bituminous mix should have aggregate gradation, which will ensure maximum density and minimum voids in the mix to fulfill requirements of bituminous mix design specifications. In India organizations such as Indian Roads Congress and Ministry of Surface Transport (MOST) [1] have laid down specifications regarding the range of percentage passing of different size of aggregate in th...
متن کاملExperimental Investigations on Coir Fibre Reinforced Bituminous Mixes
The development of transportation plays an important role in the development of nation. With flexible pavements being widely used in India, steps must be taken to increase the life of the bituminous pavements. Flexible pavements are often plagued with problems of cracking and rutting due to repeated traffic loads. Hence one needs to address these problems in order to improve the performance of ...
متن کاملRheological Characterization of Bituminous Binder containing Wax based Warm Mix Asphalt Additive
Warm mix asphalt (WMA) has been gaining increasing popularity in recent years due to energy savings and environmental benefits. The mechanism of WMA is to use some additives or technologies to reduce the viscosity of bitumen and to modify the rheological behavior of bituminous binders, and thus improve the workability of the mixture at lower temperature. In this study a paraffin wax based addit...
متن کاملBituminous pavement recycling
The bituminous pavement rehabilitation alternatives are mainly overlaying, recycling and reconstruction. In the recycling process the material from deteriorated pavement, known as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), is partially or fully reused in fresh construction. Some of the advantages associated with pavement recycling are (i) less user delay (ii) conservation of energy (iii) preservation of...
