Concept explainers

Bituminous Materials

The word 'bituminous' in Bituminous materials come from the word bitumen, which is popularly known as 'asphalt' in the United States. Asphalt is a heavier substance that is obtained by the fractional distillation of crude oil, after removing the lighter components such as gasoline and diesel. Asphalts are known to have good adhesive and waterproofing properties. Depending upon the grade needed, asphalt may be refined several times in the fractional distillation column.

The Superpave volumetric procedure has been widely implemented, with success- ful results. However, the method lacks a strength test to verify the suitability of the Superpave mixes. Research completed in NCHRP Project 9-19 developed "simple performance tests" for asphalt concrete (Witczak et al., 2002), currently called the Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester, AMPT, Figure 9.34. The AMPT is not currently a requirement for Superpave mix design, but implementation studies are underway. In addition, the test method was designed to capture the material properties needed for the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design System, MEPDS. The equipment and associated protocols of the AMPT tests are designed to cap- ture the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt concrete. Tests based on measurement of dynamic modulus (for both of permanent deformation and fatigue cracking), flow time (permanent deformation), and flow number (permanent deformation) were selected for further field validation. The three…
