SUPERPAVE VOLUMETRIC MIX DESIGN OF HOT MIX ASPHALT: CASE STUDY OF ISPARTA

Abstract

The pavement design system that a generic method of designing mixtures custom to the unique performance requirements enforced by the heavy traffic volumes, maximum and minimum temperatures and structural part at specific pavement section is the SUperior PERforming Asphalt PAVEment (Superpave) Mix design. Accomplishing the needed grade of pavement performance Superpave Mix Design enables selecting and assembling asphalt binder, aggregate. Superpave system is practicable to raw and reclaimed, hot mix asphalt (HMA). Also, Superpave performance tests are practicable for defining a diversity of specialized mixtures. Superpave Mix Design thoroughly addresses the degradation and permanent deformation and low-temperature cracking discipline owing to material choice and mixture designing. Furthermore, it takes into consideration moisture sensitivity impacts for supporting or striking these distresses to improve. The objective of State of the Art is to present an overview of Superpave volumetric mix design procedure with a case study of Isparta region in accordance with literature.

BİTÜMLÜ SICAK KARIŞIMIN SUPERPAVE HACİMSEL KARIŞIM TASARIMI: ISPARTA ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Üstün performanslı asfalt kaplama (Superpave), ağır trafik hacmi, bölgesel maksimum ve minimum hava sıcaklıkları ve inşa edilecek yolun yapısal özelliklerince gereksinim duyulan performansı sağlamaya yönelik olarak hazırlanmış bir üstyapı tasarım sistemidir. Kaplamanın performans sınıfının belirlenmesi ile uygun bitümün ve agrega gradasyonunun seçilmesine olanak sağlar. Superpave yöntemi ham bitümlü sıcak karışıma uygulanabildiği gibi aynı zamanda geri dönüştürülmüş bitümlü sıcak karışımlarında da uygulanabilir. Superpave performans testleri farklı karışımlarda da uygulanabilir. Superpave karışım tasarımı direk olarak bozulmaları, kalıcı deformasyonları, malzeme seçimi neticesinde düşük sıcaklıklarda oluşacak termal çatlakları gösterir. Bunlara ek olarak nem hassasiyetini de dikkate alarak gerekli tedbirlerin alınmasına yönelik yön gösterir. Bu incelemenin amacı, Superpave Hacimsel Karışım Tasarımı yönteminin incelenmesi ve Isparta örneği üzerinde değerlendirilmesidir.
