C. AGGREGATES FOR PORTLAND
     CEMENT CONCRETE
AGGREGATES FOR PORTLAND
  CEMENT CONCRETE




  IMPORTANT PROPERTIES FOR
AGGREGATES THAT ARE USED IN
 CONCRETE PAVING MIXTURES:
Gradation
       The size distribution of the
aggregate particles affects the relative
proportions, cementing materials and
water requirements, workability, pump
ability, economy, porosity, shrinkage,
and durability. The size distribution of
the aggregate particles should be a
combination of sizes that results in a
minimum of void spaces.
Absorption
     The absorption and surface
moisture condition of aggregates must
be determined so that the net water
content of the concrete can be
controlled.
Particle Shape and Surface Texture
    • Rough textured, angular, or elongated particles
      require more water to produce workable concrete.
    • Smooth, rounded, compact aggregates require more
      cementing materials to maintain the same water-
      cement ratio.
           Angular or poorly graded aggregates may result
      in the production of concrete that is more difficult
      to pump and also may be more difficult to finish.
      The hardened concrete strength will generally
      increase with increasing coarse aggregate
      angularity, and flat or elongated coarse aggregate
      particles should be avoided.
Surface Texture
Particle Shape
Abrasion Resistance
      The abrasion resistance of an
aggregate is often used as a general
index of its quality.
      Abrasion resistance applies only to
coarse aggregates. Aggregates vary in
their resistance to fracturing under
impact (toughness); and breaking down
into smaller pieces from abrasive action
(hardness).
Los Angeles
 Abrasion
 Machine
Durability
      Aggregates must be resistant to
breakdown and disintegration from
weathering      (wetting/drying       and
freezing/thawing) or they may break
apart and cause premature pavement
distress.
      Durability and soundness are
terms typically given to an aggregate’s
weathering resistance characteristic.
Soundness Test
      The      soundness      test
repeatedly             submerges
an aggregate sample in a sodium
sulfate or magnesium sulfate
solution. This process causes salt
crystals      to     form       in
the aggregate’s water permeable
pores. The formation of these
crystals creates internal forces
that        apply        pressure
on aggregate pores and tend to
break the aggregate.
Deleterious Materials
      Aggregates should be free of
potentially deleterious materials such as
clay lumps, shales, or other friable
particles, excess dust and vegetable
matter are not desirable because they
generally affect performance by quickly
degrading, which causes a loss of
structural support and/or prevents
binder-aggregate bonding.
Shales




Clay lumps
Particle Strength
      For         normal         concrete
pavements, aggregate strength is rarely
tested.        However,         aggregate
characteristics other than strength, such
as     the     size,    shape,    surface
texture, grading and mineralogy are
known to affect concrete strength in
varying degrees. Particle strength is an
important factor in high-strength
concrete mixtures.
D. MINERAL FILLERS
Purpose of mineral fillers in asphalt mixes:

      • The portion of the mineral filler that is finer than the
        thickness of the asphalt film and the asphalt cement
        binder form a mortar or mastic that contributes to
        improved stiffening of the mix.
      • The particles larger than the thickness of the asphalt
        film behave as mineral aggregate and hence
        contribute to the contact points between individual
        aggregate particles.
              The gradation, shape, and texture of the mineral
        filler significantly influence the performance of hot
        mix asphalt.
MINERAL FILLERS




    IMPORTANT PROPERTIES OF
MINERAL FILLER USED IN ASPHALT
      CONCRETE APPLICATIONS
• Gradation – mineral fillers should have
  100 percent of the particles passing 0.60
  mm (No. 30 sieve), 95 to 100 percent
  passing 0.30 mm (No. 40 sieve), and 70
  percent passing 0.075 mm (No. 200
  sieve).
• Plasticity – mineral fillers should be
  nonplastic so the particles do not bind
  together.
• Deleterious Materials – the percentage
  of deleterious materials such as clay and
  shale in the mineral filler must be
  minimized to prevent particle breakdown.
E. BITUMINOUS MATERIALS
       AND BINDERS
Testing Methods:


  a. Penetration graded bitumen
  b. Viscosity graded bitumen
  c. Oxidised bitumen grades
Penetration Graded Bitumen


          Bitumen is classified by the depth to
     which a standard needle will penetrate
     under specified test conditions.

           This “pen” test classification is used
     to indicate the hardness of
     bitumen, lower penetration indicating a
     harder bitumen.
Viscosity graded bitumen

           Bitumen is also graded and
     specified by their viscosity at a standard
     temperature (typically 60°C).

           Specifications for viscosity graded
     bitumen normally give the nominal
     viscosity prefixed by a V, e.g. V1500.
Oxidised bitumen grades

            The degree of oxidation can range
     from very small, often referred to as air-
     rectification, or semi-blowing, which only
     slightly     modifies     the     bitumen
     properties,       through     to     “full”
     blowing, whereby the properties of the
     bitumen are significantly different to
     penetration grade bitumens.
Nomenclature and grading for
the oxidised bitumen products is
based on a combination of the
temperature at which the bitumen
reaches a certain “softness” when
being heated up as expressed by
the ring and ball softening point
test, and the penetration value.
Bitumen Preparations:


a. Cut-back bitumen
b. Fluxed bitumen
c. Modified bitumen
Cut-back bitumen
           Cut-backs       are       bitumen
       preparations in which the viscosity of
       the binder has been reduced by the
       addition       of       a      volatile
       solvent, normally derived from
       petroleum. Typically the solvents used
       are white spirit and kerosene. Cut-
       back products are typically used for
       spraying      and     some      mixing
       applications.
Fluxed bitumen

        Fluxed bitumens are bitumen
     preparation where the viscosity of the
     binder has been reduced by the
     addition of relatively non-volatile oils.
     Typical fluxants include gas oil and
     vegetable based oils.
Modified bitumen

        Modified bitumens are bituminous
     binders        whose           performance
     properties, such as elasticity, adhesive or
     cohesive strength, have been modified by
     the use of one or more chemical agents.
         These agents may be polymers, crumb
     rubber, sulphur and polyphosphoric
     acid, among other materials. Modified
     bitumens are widely used in the
     production of roofing felt and in paving
     applications.
Bitumen emulsion

          Bitumen emulsions are products in
      which tiny droplets (the dispersed phase)
      of bitumen or bituminous binder are
      dispersed in an aqueous medium (the
      continuous phase).

          Bitumen emulsions are used largely in
      road surfacing applications, such as
      surface dressing, cold mixtures and slurry
      seals.
Asphalt


        Asphalt is a mixture of a bituminous
    binder with mineral aggregate
    (stone), sand and filler, typically
    containing approximately 4-7%m
    bitumen.
F. BITUMINUOUS CONCRETE
PAVEMENT
Bituminous concrete
     - is a type of construction material used
     for paving roads, driveways, and
     parking lots

     - made from a blend of stone and other
     forms of aggregate materials joined
     together by a binding agent. This
     binding agent is called “bitumen”
- has a thick, sticky texture like tar
when heated, then forms a dense
solid surface once it dries.

- is also widely known
as asphalt in many parts of the
world.
Bituminous concrete is
quite different than
standard concrete, and contains
no cement.
    Bituminous concrete is
known for its distinctive black
appearance.
Asphalt paving is also fully
recyclable.

      Some manufacturers add
recycled tires or glass
aggregate to recycled asphalt to
increase its strength and
resilience.
Bituminous concrete is strong
enough to handle years of vehicle
traffic, and is relatively easy to repair
or refinish.

     It also provides a smoother and
quieter ride than cement
surfaces, which helps to reduce noise
pollution around highways and other
busy roads.
G. Asphalt Concrete Pavement
   -composite material used in the
   construction of roadways and
   parking lots
   - mixture of a petroleum
   byproduct, asphalt bitumen and
   aggregate materials
Methods of mixing asphalt
1. Hot mix asphalt concrete, HMAC
  - produced by heating the asphalt binder to
  decrease its viscosity, and drying the
  aggregate to remove moisture from it prior
  to mixing
      ** Mixing is generally performed with
  the aggregate at about 300 °F (roughly
  150 °C) for virgin asphalt and 330 °F (166 °C)
  for polymer modified asphalt, and the
  asphalt cement at 200 °F (95 °C)
2. Warm mix asphalt concrete, WMA
  - produced by adding
  either zeolites, waxes, asphalt emulsions,
  or sometimes even water to the
  asphalt binder prior to mixing
      **This allows significantly lower mixing
  and laying temperatures and results in
  lower consumption of fossil fuels, thus
  releasing less carbon dioxide, aerosols and
  vapors
3. Cold mix asphalt concrete
  - produced by emulsifying the
  asphalt in water with
  (essentially) soap prior to mixing
  with the aggregate
  - commonly used as a patch for
  road surfaces
4. Cut-back asphalt concrete
  - same process as in cold
  mix, but instead of soap and
  water, kerosene or light
  petroleum products are
  employed to emulsify the
  asphalt binder
5. Mastic asphalt concrete
  - produced by heating hard grade
  blown bitumen (oxidation) in a green
  cooker (mixer) until it has become a
  viscous liquid after which the
  aggregate mix is then added, and
  then to be cooked again for another 6
  to 8 hrs.
  - used for footpaths, roofing, flooring
  and other light-use paving projects
6. Natural asphalt concrete
  - occurs as the result of upwelling
  bitumen
  - exist below the Earth’s surface, but
  can seep its way up through porous
  sedimentary rocks and stones
BITUMINUOUS PAVEMENT
FAILURE
• Caused by excessive loads.
• Heavy loads creates deflection on the
  road surface, with insufficient
  underlying strength.
• Repetitious underlying of the excessive
  load with roughen and crack the road
  pavement will ultimately result to
  complete failure of the roadway.
1. Bleeding or Flushing
    -this distress is caused by excess asphalt in
 the surface layer.
…cont’n
     Major bleeding can be corrected by cutting
 off excess asphalt with a motor grader or
 removing it with a “heater planer”.
2. Corrugations and Shoving
…cont’n




To repair corrugations in an aggregate base overlain with a thin surface
treatment, scarify the pavement, add aggregate as needed, mix well, re-
compact, prime, and then resurface. Where the surface has 2 inches or more of
asphalt plant mix, corrugations can be removed with a “heater planer”. After
removal of corrugations, cover with a new surface treatment or new asphalt
overlay. To repair shoved areas, remove surface and base as necessary and
replace with a more stable material to prevent a recurrence. For out-of-season
inclement weather repairs, smooth shoved areas with patching if the surface
unevenness is hazardous to traffic.
3. Cracking, Alligator


       Interconnected cracks
  forming a series of small polygons
  resembling an alligator’s skin are
  called alligator cracks.
Types of Alligator Cracks
a. Alligator Cracking without Surface Distortion
b. Alligator Cracking with Distortion of
             Intact Surfaces
c. Alligator Cracking with Broken
              Surfaces
d. Alligator Cracking with Surface Distortion
                and Pumping
4. Cracking Edge
 Cracking without surface distortion is usually
 caused by lack of shoulder (lateral) support.
a. Edge Cracks without Surface Distortion
b. Edge Cracks with Distortion of Intact
               Surfaces
c. Edge Cracks with Broken Surfaces
d. Edge Cracks with Surface Distortion and
                Pumping
5. Cracking Joint

       Joint cracks occur where the
  shoulder or paved wedge separates
  from the mainline pavement or along
  weak seams of adjoining pavement
  spreads in the surface layers.
a. Joint Crack at Pavement Edge
b. Joint Crack at Lane Joints
6. Random Cracking

       The causes of random cracking are
 numerous and, in its early stages,
 difficult to determine. Consequences
 range from severe, such as deep
 foundation settlement, to slight, such
 as a construction error or mishap.
a. Narrow Cracks
b. Wide Cracks
c. Reflection Cracking
d. Shrinkage Cracking
e. Slippage Cracking
f. Transverse Cracking
7. Polished Aggregate
        Although uncrushed gravels often have surfaces
that are initially smooth and potentially
hazardous, crushed rock initially has a rough, skid-
resistant texture. Under the action of
traffic, however, some aggregates - including many
limestones - become polished and slick, especially
when wet. The likelihood of aggregate become
polished increases with the volume of traffic. Because
polished aggregate results in a loss of skid resistance, it
is potentially hazardous. The most economical repair is
to apply a skid-resistant surface treatment.
8. Potholes

       Potholes are caused by water
 penetrating the surface and causing the
 base and/or subgrade to become wet and
 unstable. They also may be caused by a
 surface that is too thin or that lacks
 sufficient asphalt content, lacks sufficient
 base, or has too many or too few fines.
Potholes in Surface Treatments over
               Aggregate Base

     To repair potholes in surface
treatments, take the following actions:

•   Clean out hole.
•   Remove any wet base.
•   Shape hole so that it has vertical sides.
•   Prime hole.
•   Fill hole with Asphalt Concrete.
Potholes in Asphalt Concrete
      To repair potholes in Asphalt Concrete,
take the following actions:

• Clean out hole.
• Remove any wet base.
• Square up pothole so that it has neat lines
  both perpendicular and parallel to the center
  line and have vertical sides.
• Prime the pothole.
• Fill the pothole with Asphalt Concrete.
9. Raveling
Raveling is caused by a dry brittle surface; dirty,
dusty, or soft aggregate; patching beyond base
material; lack of compaction of surface during
construction; too little asphalt in mix; or
excessive heating during mixing.

Note: If the raveling is not a part of the paved
surface, no action should be taken. In other
words, don’t patch beyond the edge of the
pavement.
10. Channels or Rutting

    Channels are caused by heavy
loads and high tire
pressures, subgrade settlement
caused by saturation, poor
construction methods, or asphalt
mixtures of inadequate strength.
11. Intact Surface

 Where the depression is 1 inch or less
 and the surface is cracked but still
 largely intact, skin patch the area.
 Where the depression is more than 1
 inch and the surface is cracked but still
 largely intact, repair with asphalt
 concrete.
12. Disintegrated Surface
     Where the surface is badly cracked
and loose (regardless of amount of
depression), remove the old surface. If the
area shows signs of mud being pumped to
the surface, remove all wet material,
replace base material, compact, prime, and
build up with Asphalt Concrete.
13. Upheaval or Frost Boil
      Upheaval is caused by expansion of
freezing moisture in the lower courses of
the pavement or subgrade or by the
swelling effect of moisture in expansive
soils. When this distress occurs, repair by
installing combination drains as necessary
and replacing base and surface.
I. Macadam Asphalt
     - pioneered by Scottish engineer John
     Loudon McAdam in around 1820
     ** he discovered that massive foundations
     of rock upon rock were unnecessary, and
     asserted that native soil alone would
     support the road and traffic upon it, as
     long as it was covered by a road crust that
     would protect the soil underneath from
     water and wear
• The lower 200-millimetre (7.9 in) road
  thickness was restricted to stones no
  larger than 75 millimetres (3.0 in).
• The upper 50-millimetre (2.0 in) layer of
  stones was limited to 20 millimetres
  (0.79 in) size and stones were checked
  by supervisors who carried scales
Tar-bound macadam or tarmac

  -The area of low air pressure
  created under fast-moving vehicles
  sucks dust from the road surface,
  creating dust clouds and a gradual
  unravelling of the road
  material. This problem was
  approached by spraying tar on the
  surface to create tar-bound
  macadam.
SURFACE
TREATMENT
SURFACE TREATMENT
•A surface treatment is an application of
asphalt materials to any type of road surface
with          or           without          a
cover of mineral aggregate.

•This application produces an increase in
thickness usually less than 1 inch.

•Have a variety of uses
PURPOSES
1. Waterproof the surface.
2. Provide a wearing surface.
3. Make the surface nonskid.
4. Prevent hydroplaning.
5. Rejuvenate an old road or runway.
6. Make permanent improvements
TYPES
Surface treatments may be applied to the base
course of a new road or to the surface of an old road
as a method of repair. Surface treatments are
grouped into these categories:


1. Sprayed Asphalt Surface Treatment
2. Aggregate Surface Treatment
v
Sprayed Asphalt Surface Treatment


Sprayed asphalt treatments contain no aggregates.
   They are simply applications of different types of
   asphaltic materials to a prepared surface.
Three types of sprayed asphalt surface treatment:
a. FOG SEAL
b. DUST LAYING
c. ROAD OILING
FOG SEAL
• a fog seal is a light application of diluted slow-setting asphalt
emulsion, used to renew old asphalt surfaces and seal small
cracks and surface voids. Fog seals are especially useful for
pavements carrying a low volume of traffic.
• Other uses:
     To seal surface voids in new asphalt plant mixes
     To prevent dust on sprayed asphalt with cover
    aggregate surface treatments
     To increase aggregate retention
     To provide a uniform dark color
FOG SEAL
The asphalt emulsion is diluted with an equal
amount of water, and the diluted material is
sprayed at the ROA of 0.1 to 0.2 gallon per
square yard, depending on the texture and
dryness of the old pavement. In normal
conditions, the separation and evaporation of
the water is rapid, permitting traffic within 1 or 2
hours.
DUST LAYING
- consists of spraying an untreated surface with a low-viscosity
liquid asphalt, such as SC-70, MC-30, MC-70, or a diluted slow
setting asphalt emulsion.         The      asphalt   and   dilutant
penetrate and coat the fine particles and temporarily relieve
the nuisance of dust. The material is sprayed at a ROA of 0.1 to
0.5 gallon per square yard.
- When emulsion is used, it should be diluted with 5 or more parts
of water by volume. Diluted emulsion dust-laying treatments
usually require several applications. The dust stirred by traffic
between applications eventually conglomerates and no longer
rises.
- This is an effective treatment in a very dusty environment where
one application of asphalt is insufficient.
ROAD OILING
- differs from dust laying in that it is usually accomplished as part of a
planned build up of low-cost road surfaces over several years. Each
application may be mechanically mixed with the material being treated, or
it may be allowed to penetrate. The light oils in the road oil penetrate into
the subgrade and tend to repel moisture absorption.
- The objective in all roads oiling work is to form a dustless wearing
surface,      combined with a strong water-repelling subgrade.
Because soils vary widely, procedures for oiling area matter for local trial
and error, rather than scientific analysis.
- The amount of road oil, required in the first year of work will vary from
0.75 to 1.0 gallon per square yard. The first application is applied at the
ROA of about one half of the total; succeeding applications are made in
equal amounts. Road oiling treatments are placed several weeks apart,
depending upon the character of the asphalt soil mat.
Aggregate Surface Treatment
The sprayed asphalt with aggregate cover surface
treatments are applications of liquid asphalt, followed by
an application of aggregate. This can be done in one or more
layers of construction.

• Two types of sprayed asphalt with covered aggregate
surface treatments :
   -SINGLE-SURFACE TREATMENT
   -MULTIPLE-SURFACE TREATMENT
SINGLE-SURFACE TREATMENT
Single-surface treatments are thin, bituminous-aggregate
toppings, applied to existing bases or surfaces, such as
concrete or asphalt. Construction involves applying a
bituminous prime or tack coat to the base or surface.
This coating is followed by an application of bitumen
and small-sized aggregate. Single-surface treatments are
sometimes called seal coats, because they seal the surface
of the road or runway.
Sequence of Operations
a.Applying prime coat
b.Binder application
c.Aggregate application
d.Rolling
Applying Prime Coat
•The first steps, such as sweeping, priming or
tacking, and curing

•The binder (bituminous material) is applied over
the prime coat with an asphalt distributor
Binder Application
when you are applying the binder, it should be hot enough to spray properly and
cover the surface uniformly. After the binder cools and cures, it should bind the
aggregate tightly to prevent dislodgement by traffic. Individual aggregate stones
should be pressed into the binder but must not be covered by the binder.
Approximately one half of the individual aggregate stones should be exposed to
traffic. The ROA for the binder material should be between 0.25and 0.30 gallon of
asphalt per square yard. For a single-surface treatment, the bitumen must be
heated and applied to the surface while hot. The aggregate must be spread and
rolled before the bitumen cools. Under no circumstances is traffic permitted to
travel upon uncovered fresh bitumen. The distributor should NOT apply bitumen
until the aggregate is on hand and ready for application. When the distributor
moves forward to spray the asphalt, the aggregate spreader should start right
behind it. The bitumen should be covered within 1 minute if possible;
otherwise,     the     increase     in    asphalt      viscosity   may    prevent
good binding of aggregate.
Aggregate Application
The size and amount of aggregate, used for surface treatments, are
important. You must use a size that matches the bitumen application
rate. For a single-surface treatment, one-half inch to sieve number 4 is
needed. The amount of aggregate should be 25-30 pounds per square
yard. When aggregate is distributed properly, very little hand work is
required. At longitudinal joints, the aggregate cover is stopped 8 inches
from the edge of the bitumen to ensure ample overlap of the bitumen
coat. All bare spots should be covered by hand spreading, and any
irregularities   of     the     distribution    should    be    corrected
with hand brooms. Excess aggregate in limited areas should be
removed             immediately              with          square-pointed
shovels. When the aggregate spreader is properly set
and operated, handwork is reduced to a minimum.
Rolling
the aggregate is usually rolled by pneumatic-
tired rollers. Steel-wheeled rollers are not recommended
by themselves. If used, they should make only one pass
(one trip in each direction). The rolling operation should then
be completed with the pneumatic-tired          rolls.     Steel-
wheeled rollers produce maximum compaction but must be
used with care to prevent excessive crushing
of the aggregate particles. Also, these rollers will bridge over
smaller size particles and small depressions in the surface
and will fail to press the aggregate in these places in the
asphalt.
Procedures for Rolling
1. Rolling      should     be      parallel    to     the     center     line      of
   the    roadway      to    reduce    the    number     of    times   the     roller
   must change direction.
2. Succeeding passes should overlap one half of the wheel width of the roller.
   This action ensures that the aggregate becomes well embedded in the
   bitumen.
3. Rolling       should        be     completed       before       the      bitumen
   hardens.      This     will    ensure    that    the     aggregate      becomes
   well embedded in the bitumen.
4. Succeeding passes should be made from the low side to the high side of the
   surface. This operation maintains the surface crown and prevents feathering
   at the edges.
5. Rolling should be done at a slow speed.
6. Rollers should be only wet enough to prevent bitumen from sticking to the
   wheels.
7. . The power wheel of the roller should pass over the unrolled surface before
   the steering wheel(s) of the rollers. After rolling and curing, the surface is
   ready for traffic.
MULTIPLE-SURFACE TREATMENT
A multiple-surface treatment is essentially the same as the
single-surface treatment. However, the multiple-surface
treatment consists of two or more successive layers
of binder and aggregate. This type of treatment is done in
stages. Each stage is accomplished in the same manner as
a single-surface treatment.         The only difference is
that each additional layer of aggregate should be about one
half of the size of the previous layer. This allows the smaller
aggregate to interlock with the larger aggregate when rolled.

  • 15. C. AGGREGATES FOR PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE
  • 16. AGGREGATES FOR PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE IMPORTANT PROPERTIES FOR AGGREGATES THAT ARE USED IN CONCRETE PAVING MIXTURES:
  • 17. Gradation The size distribution of the aggregate particles affects the relative proportions, cementing materials and water requirements, workability, pump ability, economy, porosity, shrinkage, and durability. The size distribution of the aggregate particles should be a combination of sizes that results in a minimum of void spaces.
  • 18.
  • 19. Absorption The absorption and surface moisture condition of aggregates must be determined so that the net water content of the concrete can be controlled.
  • 20. Particle Shape and Surface Texture • Rough textured, angular, or elongated particles require more water to produce workable concrete. • Smooth, rounded, compact aggregates require more cementing materials to maintain the same water- cement ratio. Angular or poorly graded aggregates may result in the production of concrete that is more difficult to pump and also may be more difficult to finish. The hardened concrete strength will generally increase with increasing coarse aggregate angularity, and flat or elongated coarse aggregate particles should be avoided.
  • 23. Abrasion Resistance The abrasion resistance of an aggregate is often used as a general index of its quality. Abrasion resistance applies only to coarse aggregates. Aggregates vary in their resistance to fracturing under impact (toughness); and breaking down into smaller pieces from abrasive action (hardness).
  • 25. Durability Aggregates must be resistant to breakdown and disintegration from weathering (wetting/drying and freezing/thawing) or they may break apart and cause premature pavement distress. Durability and soundness are terms typically given to an aggregate’s weathering resistance characteristic.
  • 26. Soundness Test The soundness test repeatedly submerges an aggregate sample in a sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate solution. This process causes salt crystals to form in the aggregate’s water permeable pores. The formation of these crystals creates internal forces that apply pressure on aggregate pores and tend to break the aggregate.
  • 27. Deleterious Materials Aggregates should be free of potentially deleterious materials such as clay lumps, shales, or other friable particles, excess dust and vegetable matter are not desirable because they generally affect performance by quickly degrading, which causes a loss of structural support and/or prevents binder-aggregate bonding.
  • 29. Particle Strength For normal concrete pavements, aggregate strength is rarely tested. However, aggregate characteristics other than strength, such as the size, shape, surface texture, grading and mineralogy are known to affect concrete strength in varying degrees. Particle strength is an important factor in high-strength concrete mixtures.
  • 31. Purpose of mineral fillers in asphalt mixes: • The portion of the mineral filler that is finer than the thickness of the asphalt film and the asphalt cement binder form a mortar or mastic that contributes to improved stiffening of the mix. • The particles larger than the thickness of the asphalt film behave as mineral aggregate and hence contribute to the contact points between individual aggregate particles. The gradation, shape, and texture of the mineral filler significantly influence the performance of hot mix asphalt.
  • 32. MINERAL FILLERS IMPORTANT PROPERTIES OF MINERAL FILLER USED IN ASPHALT CONCRETE APPLICATIONS
  • 33. • Gradation – mineral fillers should have 100 percent of the particles passing 0.60 mm (No. 30 sieve), 95 to 100 percent passing 0.30 mm (No. 40 sieve), and 70 percent passing 0.075 mm (No. 200 sieve). • Plasticity – mineral fillers should be nonplastic so the particles do not bind together. • Deleterious Materials – the percentage of deleterious materials such as clay and shale in the mineral filler must be minimized to prevent particle breakdown.
  • 34. E. BITUMINOUS MATERIALS AND BINDERS
  • 35. Testing Methods: a. Penetration graded bitumen b. Viscosity graded bitumen c. Oxidised bitumen grades
  • 36. Penetration Graded Bitumen Bitumen is classified by the depth to which a standard needle will penetrate under specified test conditions. This “pen” test classification is used to indicate the hardness of bitumen, lower penetration indicating a harder bitumen.
  • 37. Viscosity graded bitumen Bitumen is also graded and specified by their viscosity at a standard temperature (typically 60°C). Specifications for viscosity graded bitumen normally give the nominal viscosity prefixed by a V, e.g. V1500.
  • 38. Oxidised bitumen grades The degree of oxidation can range from very small, often referred to as air- rectification, or semi-blowing, which only slightly modifies the bitumen properties, through to “full” blowing, whereby the properties of the bitumen are significantly different to penetration grade bitumens.
  • 39. Nomenclature and grading for the oxidised bitumen products is based on a combination of the temperature at which the bitumen reaches a certain “softness” when being heated up as expressed by the ring and ball softening point test, and the penetration value.
  • 40. Bitumen Preparations: a. Cut-back bitumen b. Fluxed bitumen c. Modified bitumen
  • 41. Cut-back bitumen Cut-backs are bitumen preparations in which the viscosity of the binder has been reduced by the addition of a volatile solvent, normally derived from petroleum. Typically the solvents used are white spirit and kerosene. Cut- back products are typically used for spraying and some mixing applications.
  • 42. Fluxed bitumen Fluxed bitumens are bitumen preparation where the viscosity of the binder has been reduced by the addition of relatively non-volatile oils. Typical fluxants include gas oil and vegetable based oils.
  • 43. Modified bitumen Modified bitumens are bituminous binders whose performance properties, such as elasticity, adhesive or cohesive strength, have been modified by the use of one or more chemical agents. These agents may be polymers, crumb rubber, sulphur and polyphosphoric acid, among other materials. Modified bitumens are widely used in the production of roofing felt and in paving applications.
  • 44. Bitumen emulsion Bitumen emulsions are products in which tiny droplets (the dispersed phase) of bitumen or bituminous binder are dispersed in an aqueous medium (the continuous phase). Bitumen emulsions are used largely in road surfacing applications, such as surface dressing, cold mixtures and slurry seals.
  • 45. Asphalt Asphalt is a mixture of a bituminous binder with mineral aggregate (stone), sand and filler, typically containing approximately 4-7%m bitumen.
  • 47. Bituminous concrete - is a type of construction material used for paving roads, driveways, and parking lots - made from a blend of stone and other forms of aggregate materials joined together by a binding agent. This binding agent is called “bitumen”
  • 48. - has a thick, sticky texture like tar when heated, then forms a dense solid surface once it dries. - is also widely known as asphalt in many parts of the world.
  • 49. Bituminous concrete is quite different than standard concrete, and contains no cement. Bituminous concrete is known for its distinctive black appearance.
  • 50. Asphalt paving is also fully recyclable. Some manufacturers add recycled tires or glass aggregate to recycled asphalt to increase its strength and resilience.
  • 51. Bituminous concrete is strong enough to handle years of vehicle traffic, and is relatively easy to repair or refinish. It also provides a smoother and quieter ride than cement surfaces, which helps to reduce noise pollution around highways and other busy roads.
  • 52. G. Asphalt Concrete Pavement -composite material used in the construction of roadways and parking lots - mixture of a petroleum byproduct, asphalt bitumen and aggregate materials
  • 53. Methods of mixing asphalt 1. Hot mix asphalt concrete, HMAC - produced by heating the asphalt binder to decrease its viscosity, and drying the aggregate to remove moisture from it prior to mixing ** Mixing is generally performed with the aggregate at about 300 °F (roughly 150 °C) for virgin asphalt and 330 °F (166 °C) for polymer modified asphalt, and the asphalt cement at 200 °F (95 °C)
  • 54.
  • 55. 2. Warm mix asphalt concrete, WMA - produced by adding either zeolites, waxes, asphalt emulsions, or sometimes even water to the asphalt binder prior to mixing **This allows significantly lower mixing and laying temperatures and results in lower consumption of fossil fuels, thus releasing less carbon dioxide, aerosols and vapors
  • 56.
  • 57. 3. Cold mix asphalt concrete - produced by emulsifying the asphalt in water with (essentially) soap prior to mixing with the aggregate - commonly used as a patch for road surfaces
  • 58.
  • 59.
  • 60. 4. Cut-back asphalt concrete - same process as in cold mix, but instead of soap and water, kerosene or light petroleum products are employed to emulsify the asphalt binder
  • 61. 5. Mastic asphalt concrete - produced by heating hard grade blown bitumen (oxidation) in a green cooker (mixer) until it has become a viscous liquid after which the aggregate mix is then added, and then to be cooked again for another 6 to 8 hrs. - used for footpaths, roofing, flooring and other light-use paving projects
  • 62. 6. Natural asphalt concrete - occurs as the result of upwelling bitumen - exist below the Earth’s surface, but can seep its way up through porous sedimentary rocks and stones
  • 63.
  • 65. • Caused by excessive loads. • Heavy loads creates deflection on the road surface, with insufficient underlying strength. • Repetitious underlying of the excessive load with roughen and crack the road pavement will ultimately result to complete failure of the roadway.
  • 66. 1. Bleeding or Flushing -this distress is caused by excess asphalt in the surface layer.
  • 67. …cont’n Major bleeding can be corrected by cutting off excess asphalt with a motor grader or removing it with a “heater planer”.
  • 69. …cont’n To repair corrugations in an aggregate base overlain with a thin surface treatment, scarify the pavement, add aggregate as needed, mix well, re- compact, prime, and then resurface. Where the surface has 2 inches or more of asphalt plant mix, corrugations can be removed with a “heater planer”. After removal of corrugations, cover with a new surface treatment or new asphalt overlay. To repair shoved areas, remove surface and base as necessary and replace with a more stable material to prevent a recurrence. For out-of-season inclement weather repairs, smooth shoved areas with patching if the surface unevenness is hazardous to traffic.
  • 70. 3. Cracking, Alligator Interconnected cracks forming a series of small polygons resembling an alligator’s skin are called alligator cracks.
  • 71. Types of Alligator Cracks a. Alligator Cracking without Surface Distortion
  • 72. b. Alligator Cracking with Distortion of Intact Surfaces
  • 73. c. Alligator Cracking with Broken Surfaces
  • 74. d. Alligator Cracking with Surface Distortion and Pumping
  • 75. 4. Cracking Edge Cracking without surface distortion is usually caused by lack of shoulder (lateral) support.
  • 76. a. Edge Cracks without Surface Distortion
  • 77. b. Edge Cracks with Distortion of Intact Surfaces
  • 78. c. Edge Cracks with Broken Surfaces
  • 79. d. Edge Cracks with Surface Distortion and Pumping
  • 80. 5. Cracking Joint Joint cracks occur where the shoulder or paved wedge separates from the mainline pavement or along weak seams of adjoining pavement spreads in the surface layers.
  • 81. a. Joint Crack at Pavement Edge
  • 82. b. Joint Crack at Lane Joints
  • 83. 6. Random Cracking The causes of random cracking are numerous and, in its early stages, difficult to determine. Consequences range from severe, such as deep foundation settlement, to slight, such as a construction error or mishap.
  • 90. 7. Polished Aggregate Although uncrushed gravels often have surfaces that are initially smooth and potentially hazardous, crushed rock initially has a rough, skid- resistant texture. Under the action of traffic, however, some aggregates - including many limestones - become polished and slick, especially when wet. The likelihood of aggregate become polished increases with the volume of traffic. Because polished aggregate results in a loss of skid resistance, it is potentially hazardous. The most economical repair is to apply a skid-resistant surface treatment.
  • 91.
  • 92. 8. Potholes Potholes are caused by water penetrating the surface and causing the base and/or subgrade to become wet and unstable. They also may be caused by a surface that is too thin or that lacks sufficient asphalt content, lacks sufficient base, or has too many or too few fines.
  • 93.
  • 94. Potholes in Surface Treatments over Aggregate Base To repair potholes in surface treatments, take the following actions: • Clean out hole. • Remove any wet base. • Shape hole so that it has vertical sides. • Prime hole. • Fill hole with Asphalt Concrete.
  • 95. Potholes in Asphalt Concrete To repair potholes in Asphalt Concrete, take the following actions: • Clean out hole. • Remove any wet base. • Square up pothole so that it has neat lines both perpendicular and parallel to the center line and have vertical sides. • Prime the pothole. • Fill the pothole with Asphalt Concrete.
  • 96. 9. Raveling Raveling is caused by a dry brittle surface; dirty, dusty, or soft aggregate; patching beyond base material; lack of compaction of surface during construction; too little asphalt in mix; or excessive heating during mixing. Note: If the raveling is not a part of the paved surface, no action should be taken. In other words, don’t patch beyond the edge of the pavement.
  • 97.
  • 98. 10. Channels or Rutting Channels are caused by heavy loads and high tire pressures, subgrade settlement caused by saturation, poor construction methods, or asphalt mixtures of inadequate strength.
  • 99.
  • 100. 11. Intact Surface Where the depression is 1 inch or less and the surface is cracked but still largely intact, skin patch the area. Where the depression is more than 1 inch and the surface is cracked but still largely intact, repair with asphalt concrete.
  • 101. 12. Disintegrated Surface Where the surface is badly cracked and loose (regardless of amount of depression), remove the old surface. If the area shows signs of mud being pumped to the surface, remove all wet material, replace base material, compact, prime, and build up with Asphalt Concrete.
  • 102. 13. Upheaval or Frost Boil Upheaval is caused by expansion of freezing moisture in the lower courses of the pavement or subgrade or by the swelling effect of moisture in expansive soils. When this distress occurs, repair by installing combination drains as necessary and replacing base and surface.
  • 103.
  • 104. I. Macadam Asphalt - pioneered by Scottish engineer John Loudon McAdam in around 1820 ** he discovered that massive foundations of rock upon rock were unnecessary, and asserted that native soil alone would support the road and traffic upon it, as long as it was covered by a road crust that would protect the soil underneath from water and wear
  • 105. • The lower 200-millimetre (7.9 in) road thickness was restricted to stones no larger than 75 millimetres (3.0 in). • The upper 50-millimetre (2.0 in) layer of stones was limited to 20 millimetres (0.79 in) size and stones were checked by supervisors who carried scales
  • 106.
  • 107. Tar-bound macadam or tarmac -The area of low air pressure created under fast-moving vehicles sucks dust from the road surface, creating dust clouds and a gradual unravelling of the road material. This problem was approached by spraying tar on the surface to create tar-bound macadam.
  • 109. SURFACE TREATMENT •A surface treatment is an application of asphalt materials to any type of road surface with or without a cover of mineral aggregate. •This application produces an increase in thickness usually less than 1 inch. •Have a variety of uses
  • 110. PURPOSES 1. Waterproof the surface. 2. Provide a wearing surface. 3. Make the surface nonskid. 4. Prevent hydroplaning. 5. Rejuvenate an old road or runway. 6. Make permanent improvements
  • 111. TYPES Surface treatments may be applied to the base course of a new road or to the surface of an old road as a method of repair. Surface treatments are grouped into these categories: 1. Sprayed Asphalt Surface Treatment 2. Aggregate Surface Treatment
  • 112. v Sprayed Asphalt Surface Treatment Sprayed asphalt treatments contain no aggregates. They are simply applications of different types of asphaltic materials to a prepared surface. Three types of sprayed asphalt surface treatment: a. FOG SEAL b. DUST LAYING c. ROAD OILING
  • 113. FOG SEAL • a fog seal is a light application of diluted slow-setting asphalt emulsion, used to renew old asphalt surfaces and seal small cracks and surface voids. Fog seals are especially useful for pavements carrying a low volume of traffic. • Other uses:  To seal surface voids in new asphalt plant mixes  To prevent dust on sprayed asphalt with cover aggregate surface treatments  To increase aggregate retention  To provide a uniform dark color
  • 114. FOG SEAL The asphalt emulsion is diluted with an equal amount of water, and the diluted material is sprayed at the ROA of 0.1 to 0.2 gallon per square yard, depending on the texture and dryness of the old pavement. In normal conditions, the separation and evaporation of the water is rapid, permitting traffic within 1 or 2 hours.
  • 115. DUST LAYING - consists of spraying an untreated surface with a low-viscosity liquid asphalt, such as SC-70, MC-30, MC-70, or a diluted slow setting asphalt emulsion. The asphalt and dilutant penetrate and coat the fine particles and temporarily relieve the nuisance of dust. The material is sprayed at a ROA of 0.1 to 0.5 gallon per square yard. - When emulsion is used, it should be diluted with 5 or more parts of water by volume. Diluted emulsion dust-laying treatments usually require several applications. The dust stirred by traffic between applications eventually conglomerates and no longer rises. - This is an effective treatment in a very dusty environment where one application of asphalt is insufficient.
  • 116. ROAD OILING - differs from dust laying in that it is usually accomplished as part of a planned build up of low-cost road surfaces over several years. Each application may be mechanically mixed with the material being treated, or it may be allowed to penetrate. The light oils in the road oil penetrate into the subgrade and tend to repel moisture absorption. - The objective in all roads oiling work is to form a dustless wearing surface, combined with a strong water-repelling subgrade. Because soils vary widely, procedures for oiling area matter for local trial and error, rather than scientific analysis. - The amount of road oil, required in the first year of work will vary from 0.75 to 1.0 gallon per square yard. The first application is applied at the ROA of about one half of the total; succeeding applications are made in equal amounts. Road oiling treatments are placed several weeks apart, depending upon the character of the asphalt soil mat.
  • 117. Aggregate Surface Treatment The sprayed asphalt with aggregate cover surface treatments are applications of liquid asphalt, followed by an application of aggregate. This can be done in one or more layers of construction. • Two types of sprayed asphalt with covered aggregate surface treatments : -SINGLE-SURFACE TREATMENT -MULTIPLE-SURFACE TREATMENT
  • 118. SINGLE-SURFACE TREATMENT Single-surface treatments are thin, bituminous-aggregate toppings, applied to existing bases or surfaces, such as concrete or asphalt. Construction involves applying a bituminous prime or tack coat to the base or surface. This coating is followed by an application of bitumen and small-sized aggregate. Single-surface treatments are sometimes called seal coats, because they seal the surface of the road or runway.
  • 119. Sequence of Operations a.Applying prime coat b.Binder application c.Aggregate application d.Rolling
  • 120. Applying Prime Coat •The first steps, such as sweeping, priming or tacking, and curing •The binder (bituminous material) is applied over the prime coat with an asphalt distributor
  • 121. Binder Application when you are applying the binder, it should be hot enough to spray properly and cover the surface uniformly. After the binder cools and cures, it should bind the aggregate tightly to prevent dislodgement by traffic. Individual aggregate stones should be pressed into the binder but must not be covered by the binder. Approximately one half of the individual aggregate stones should be exposed to traffic. The ROA for the binder material should be between 0.25and 0.30 gallon of asphalt per square yard. For a single-surface treatment, the bitumen must be heated and applied to the surface while hot. The aggregate must be spread and rolled before the bitumen cools. Under no circumstances is traffic permitted to travel upon uncovered fresh bitumen. The distributor should NOT apply bitumen until the aggregate is on hand and ready for application. When the distributor moves forward to spray the asphalt, the aggregate spreader should start right behind it. The bitumen should be covered within 1 minute if possible; otherwise, the increase in asphalt viscosity may prevent good binding of aggregate.
  • 122. Aggregate Application The size and amount of aggregate, used for surface treatments, are important. You must use a size that matches the bitumen application rate. For a single-surface treatment, one-half inch to sieve number 4 is needed. The amount of aggregate should be 25-30 pounds per square yard. When aggregate is distributed properly, very little hand work is required. At longitudinal joints, the aggregate cover is stopped 8 inches from the edge of the bitumen to ensure ample overlap of the bitumen coat. All bare spots should be covered by hand spreading, and any irregularities of the distribution should be corrected with hand brooms. Excess aggregate in limited areas should be removed immediately with square-pointed shovels. When the aggregate spreader is properly set and operated, handwork is reduced to a minimum.
  • 123. Rolling the aggregate is usually rolled by pneumatic- tired rollers. Steel-wheeled rollers are not recommended by themselves. If used, they should make only one pass (one trip in each direction). The rolling operation should then be completed with the pneumatic-tired rolls. Steel- wheeled rollers produce maximum compaction but must be used with care to prevent excessive crushing of the aggregate particles. Also, these rollers will bridge over smaller size particles and small depressions in the surface and will fail to press the aggregate in these places in the asphalt.
  • 124. Procedures for Rolling 1. Rolling should be parallel to the center line of the roadway to reduce the number of times the roller must change direction. 2. Succeeding passes should overlap one half of the wheel width of the roller. This action ensures that the aggregate becomes well embedded in the bitumen. 3. Rolling should be completed before the bitumen hardens. This will ensure that the aggregate becomes well embedded in the bitumen. 4. Succeeding passes should be made from the low side to the high side of the surface. This operation maintains the surface crown and prevents feathering at the edges. 5. Rolling should be done at a slow speed. 6. Rollers should be only wet enough to prevent bitumen from sticking to the wheels. 7. . The power wheel of the roller should pass over the unrolled surface before the steering wheel(s) of the rollers. After rolling and curing, the surface is ready for traffic.
  • 125. MULTIPLE-SURFACE TREATMENT A multiple-surface treatment is essentially the same as the single-surface treatment. However, the multiple-surface treatment consists of two or more successive layers of binder and aggregate. This type of treatment is done in stages. Each stage is accomplished in the same manner as a single-surface treatment. The only difference is that each additional layer of aggregate should be about one half of the size of the previous layer. This allows the smaller aggregate to interlock with the larger aggregate when rolled.

  2. All aggregates are porous, but some are more porous than others. How porous an aggregate is determines how much liquid can be absorbed when soaked in water.
