CPE 654/604: Asphalt Mix Design
This unit presents the theory behind designing a mix to meet performance criteria and the theory of the testing of mixes to match client requirements. Weight-volume relationships and their importance in mix design are supported by details of various mix design methods including the Austroads procedure. The unit also describes the most common types of asphalt mixes including dense graded asphalt, stone mastic asphalt, and fine gap graded asphalt. A topic on testing discusses the measurement of density, moisture sensitivity, modulus, creep and fatigue. The principles of asphalt mix recycling are also outlined in this unit.
Asphalt Mix Design consists of six topics:
- Topic 1: Materials
- Topic 2: Weight / Volume Relationships
- Topic 3: Type and Use of Asphalt Mixes
- Topic 4: Design of Asphalt Mixes
- Topic 5: Test Procedures
- Topic 6: Recycling of Asphalt Mixes
