SOPHISTICATED COMPARISON OF LIGHT ASPHALT CONCRETE PRODUCED WITH CONVENTİONAL ASPHALT CONCRETE AND EXPANDED CLAY AGGREGATE

Abstract

In this study, particular specifications have been compared as making sophisticated analysis on conventional asphalt concrete samples produced using crushed stone aggregate (CSA) and light asphalt concrete samples produced using expanded clay aggregate which is light aggregate (ECA). First some physical tests carried out on produced samples and physical specification of each sample has been determined. After then mechanical specifications of samples have been determined with destructive and non-destructive tests. All these tests and considering material usage and procurement economical, physical and mechanical specifications have been compared and evaluated results.

GELENEKSEL ASFALT BETON VE GENLEŞTİRİLMİŞ KİL AGREGA İLE ÜRETİLMİŞ HAFİF ASFALT BETONUN ÇOK YÖNLÜ KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Abstract

Bu çalışmada kırma taş agrega (KTA) kullanılarak geleneksel olarak üretilmiş asfalt beton numuneler ve yapay bir hafif agrega olan genleştirilmiş kil agrega (GKA) ile üretilmiş hafif asfalt beton numuneler üzerinde çok yönlü incelemeler yapılarak bir takım özellikler karşılaştırılmıştır. Üretilen numuneler üzerinde öncelikle bazı fiziksel deneyler yapılmış ve her bir numunenin fiziksel özelliği tayin edilmiştir. Daha sonra tahribatlı ve tahribatsız bir takım deneyler ile numunelerin mekanik özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Tüm bu deneyler ve son olarak da malzeme kullanımı ve temini gibi durumlar göz önünde bulundurularak ekonomik, fiziksel ve mekanik özellikler karşılaştırılmış ve sonuçlar değerlendirilmiştir.
