摘要：
Surface course is an important constituent part of highway pavement structures with complex stress conditions. These conditions result in difficulty for the traditional mix proportion design method to simulate actual situation in asphalt mixture production and construction. In order to conform the actual load bearing situation of highway asphalt pavement mixtures, the study proposed to use Superpave method to design the mix ratio of asphalt mixture, and compared the pavement performance of SMA and AC asphalt mixtures designed by Marshall design method. By Marshall compaction test of three types of asphalt mixtures designed by two mix proportion design methods, the optimal asphalt-aggregate ratios of SMA-16, Superpave-16, and AC-16I were determined. Thereafter, according to the current standard test method, the immersion Marshall test, low temperature bending test, 60 °C rutting test and indirect tensile fatigue test were carried out on three types of asphalt mixtures, and analyzed the pavement performance test results comparatively. On this basis, the related factors affecting the pavement performance of the three asphalt mixtures were analyzed. Test results show that, the optimal asphalt-aggregate ratio of SMA-16 is considerably higher than those of Superpave-16 and AC-16I, indicating that the greater the amount of fine aggregate, the higher the asphalt content. Pavement performance test results manifest the significantly better high-temperature stability and skid resistance of SMA-16 and Superpave-16 than AC-16I, which can lengthen the service life of highway asphalt pavements. The conclusions provide a significant theoretical reference for applying the Superpave design method to the mix proportion design of asphalt mixtures. © 2024 School of Science, DUTH.
