Pore-water pressure debonding of asphaltic concreteGaber, Ahmed Yaseen, 1962- January 1989 (has links)
The report presents an evaluation of a modification to an asphalt-debonding test procedure when used with a water debonding apparatus developed at the University of Arizona, the Pore-Water Pressure Debonding Device. The method being modified is that outlined by Jimenez in his report "Testing for Debonding of Asphalt from Aggregates". A regular test specimen, 4 inches in diameter by 2½ inches high, is water-saturated at 122°F and subjected to repeated pore-water pressure varying from 5 to 30 psi. The above factors are kept constant and the following ones are varied: air void content, stress frequency, stress repetition, stress duration and testing temperature. Test results of the modified testing procedure demonstrated the following trend: the higher the value of any of the aforementioned test variables, i.e., the void content, stress frequency, stress repetition, or stress duration, or any combination of these variables, the greater the loss of the mix resistance to stripping.

Effect of variations in compaction on asphaltic concreteEl-Ali, Mohammad Abdullah, 1958- January 1988 (has links)
In this report the influence of several variables including asphalt content, mixing temperature, compaction temperature and compaction energy on void content, voids-in-the-mineral-aggregate (VMA), density and stability of asphaltic concrete mixtures was established. Straight lines were obtained on double logarithmic paper for each asphalt content when the logarithm of Marshall stability values as ordinate were plotted versus the logarithm of the corresponding number of blows of a Marshall compactor as the abscissa. The straight lines were very nearly parallel and therefore, it was possible to develop a single empirical formula expressing the relationship between stability at any compactive effort, within the range of 20 to 110 blows per face, in terms of the standard stability at 75 blows per face of specimen. Results indicate that void content, VMA, density and stability were significantly affected by compaction temperature, asphalt content, compactive effort and mixing temperature.

Selection and performance evaluation of a test method to assess thermal cracking resistance of asphalt-aggregate mixturesJung, Duhwoe 30 July 1993 (has links)
Thermal distress in asphalt concrete pavements is a widespread problem around
the world. Thermal cracking can be divided into two modes of distress: low
temperature cracking and thermal fatigue cracking. Low temperature cracking results
from extremely cold temperatures; thermal fatigue cracking results from daily
temperature cycles.
Low temperature cracking is attributed to tensile stresses induced in the asphalt
concrete pavement as the temperature drops to an extremely low temperature. If the
pavement is cooled, tensile stresses develop as a result of the pavement's tendency to
contract. The friction between the pavement and the base layer resists the contraction.
If the tensile stress equals the strength of the mixture at that temperature, a micro-crack
develops at the surface of the pavement. Under repeated temperature cycles, the
crack penetrates the full depth and across the asphalt concrete layer.
The thermal stress restrained specimen test (TSRST) was identified as an
accelerated laboratory test to evaluate the thermal cracking resistance of asphalt concrete mixtures. The TSRST system developed at OSU includes a load system, data control/acquisition system and software, temperature control system, and specimen alignment stand. The overall system is controlled by a personal computer.
A TSRST is conducted by cooling an asphalt concrete specimen at a specified rate while monitoring the specimen at constant length. A typical thermally-induced stress curve is divided into two parts: relaxation and non-relaxation. The temperature at which the curve is divided into two parts is termed the transition temperature. The temperature at fracture is termed the fracture temperature and the maximum stress is the fracture strength.
An extensive number of TSRSTs over a wide range of conditions were performed to investigate the thermal cracking resistance of asphalt concrete mixtures. The TSRST results provided a very strong indication of low temperature cracking resistance for all mixtures considered. A ranking of mixtures for low temperature cracking resistance based on the TSRST fracture temperature was in excellent agreement with a ranking based on the physical properties of the asphalt cements.
It is highly recommended that the TSRST be used in mix evaluation to identify low temperature cracking resistance of asphalt concrete mixtures. The TSRST showed very promising results regarding the effect of all variables which are currently considered to affect the low temperature cracking of mixtures. The variables considered to have significant affect on the low temperature cracking resistance of mixtures in this study include asphalt type, aggregate type, degree of aging, cooling
rate, and stress relaxation. / Graduation date: 1994
