Improving Highway Surface Course Properties of Asphalt Concrete for Heavy Traffic Loading using Mineral FillersBy Igwe Aleruchi Enwuso, Nyebuchi Daniel Azeruibe
Abstract: Failure signs seen on both rigid and flexible pavement as distresses is most often instigated by mix properties of the surface due to many factors. Traffic loading, Stripping or raveling is another possible cause of such effects. Stripping occurs when poor adhesion between asphalt cement and aggregate allows the aggregate at the surface to dislodge. As a result, mineral fillers in hot-mix asphalt concrete to obtain certain desirable properties has …

Experimental Studies on the Use of Local Grinded Aggregate in Enhancing Stability, Reduction of Flow, Air-voids and Deformation of Modified Asphalt Concrete for Medium Collector RoadsBy Igwe Aleruchi Enwuso, Nyebuchi Daniel Azeruibe
Abstract: The adverse environmental impact of man-made and agricultural waste/by-products combined with the rising cost and difficulty in obtaining construction materials have influenced research into better ways to manage these wastes/by-products by incorporating them in asphalt concrete mix design. Different researches have shown that some agricultural waste/by-products can be included as mineral fillers in hot-mix asphalt concrete to obtain certain desirable properties. It is on this basis that this research attempts …
