Title: | Design and performance of stone mastic asphalt in Singapore conditions | Authors: | Qiu, Yunfeng | Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering::Civil engineering::Transportation | Issue Date: | 2007 | Source: | Qiu, Y. F. (2007). Design and performance of stone mastic asphalt in Singapore conditions. Doctoral thesis, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. | Abstract: | Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixtures are gap-graded mixtures that contain a coarse aggregate skeleton and a high asphalt binder content mortar. The rutting resistance is mostly attributed to the coarse aggregate skeleton component that exhibits “stone-to-stone” contact due to its gap-graded gradation. The objective of the research is to provide a methodology of quantifying coarse aggregate stone-to-stone contact in SMA with different aggregate packing to yield high rutting resistance; thus, developing a new mix design procedure and leading to an improved SMA mixture design and performance. A total of thirty-seven mixtures were tested in this study for developing and analysing coarse aggregate stone-to-stone contact in SMA mixtures. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/12074 | DOI: | 10.32657/10356/12074 | Rights: | Nanyang Technological University | Fulltext Permission: | open | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
