DESIGNING STONE MASTIC ASPHALT

M Brennen, J. Nolan, Daniel T. Murphy, G Lohan

Abstract

The fewer voids in stone mastic asphalt, the greater its resistance to rutting and decay from the elements. This study determined how to best estimate the composition of stone mastic asphalts to help manufacturers devise their recipes to meet U.K. Highways Agency specifications. Researchers found that for the asphalt to have a specified voids content of 3.5%, the rational design equations should use a total voids content of 10%.
