Improving Highway Surface Course Properties of Asphalt Concrete for Heavy Traffic Loading using Mineral Fillers
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 …
