volumetric properties hot mix asphalt

Volumetric Design for Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) 1. Scope. 1.1 This standard for mix design evaluation uses aggregate and mixture properties to produce a hot-mix asphalt (HMA) job-mix formula. The mix design is based on the volumetric properties of the HMA in terms of the air voids (V ), voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA), and voids . a

McLeod recommended again that the lowest permissible asphalt content in hot mix asphalt (HMA) mix should be 4.5% by weight, to ensure mix durability. This amounts to about 10% asphalt cement by volume. No HMA performance data were presented to support the minimum asphalt content of 4.5% on which the minimum VMA requirement was based.

Significant differences in the volumetric properties of laboratory-designed and plant-produced hot-mix asphalt (HMA) generally exist as demonstrated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Demonstration Project No. 74. The volumetric properties include voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA) and voids in the total mix (VTM).

that significant differences exist between the volumetric properties of the laboratory designed and plant produced hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixes. The volumetric properties include voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA) and the voids in the total mix (VTM). This project was undertaken to develop practical guidelines for the HMA contractors to ...

Mar 20, 2013 · Volumetric calculations are the foundation of any good mix design. By the end of this block the student will understand: * HMA volumetric terms. ... Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) is a combination of approximately 95% stone, sand, or gravel bound together by asphalt cement, a product of crude oil. Asphalt cement is heated aggregate ...

Significant differences in the volumetric properties of laboratory-designed and plant-produced hot-mix asphalt (HMA) generally exist as demonstrated by FHWA Demonstration Project No. 74. The volumetric properties include voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA) and voids in the total mix (VTM). Guidelines for HMA contractors are needed to reconcile these differences and maintain control of ...

The binder was paving bitumen 50/70 (MOL producer, Republic of Hungary), which is widely used in Croatia for producing hot mix asphalt. The bitumen had a density of ρ B = 1.009 g/cm 3, a softening point of PK = 49 °C, and a penetration of PEN = 61 1/10 mm, determined according to EN 1426:2008 (Bitumen and bituminous binders-Determination of penetration by needle (EN 1426:2007)) and HRN EN ...

Abstract The use of voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) criteria for proper mix design of hot-mix asphalt is a time-honored and fairly successful tool. Recent developments in the field of asphalt mix design have encouraged the use of mixtures with a coarse aggregate structure to resist the effect of heavy traffic loads.

Abstract. Se veral studies show that properties of Hot Mixture Asphalt (HMA) mix design materials, aggregate gradation and volumetric properties had an influence on their resistance to rutting. However, these properties do not impact in the same way this performance. For a given aggregate type, an infinity aggregate gradation type can be observed, and for each type of HMA several types of ...

Volumetric properties of hot mix asphalt (HMA) are necessary requirements to ensure good performance for asphalt mixtures. This research is conducted to evaluate the influence of coarse recycled concrete aggregate (CRCA) on the volumetric properties of HMA.

This report summarizes research conducted at Iowa State University on behalf of the Iowa Department of Transportation, focusing on the volumetric state of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures as they transition from stable to unstable configurations. This has raditionally been addressed during mix design by meeting a minimum voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA) requirement, based solely upon the ...

Abstract As hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the major paving material worldwide, how the quality of this material is assured is a critical issue. The current quality assurance (QA) practices include testing programs that yield inevitable variability as a result of, e.g., different operators, equipment, and methods.

Air voids are a physical property of asphalt concrete which is often correlated to in-field rutting performance of asphalt pavements. VMA is defined as the sum of the volumes of the air voids and the unabsorbed binder in the compacted specimen. It is widely accepted that these volumetric properties are useful in predicting hot-mix asphalt
