  1. Asphalt Concrete Mix Design and Construction

  2. Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete (HMA)Mix Designs • Objective: • Develop an economical blend of aggregates and asphalt that meet design requirements • Historical mix design methods • Marshall • Hveem • New • Superpave gyratory

  3. Requirements in Common • Sufficient asphalt to ensure a durable pavement • Sufficient stability under traffic loads • Sufficient air voids • Upper limit to prevent excessive environmental damage • Lower limit to allow room for initial densification due to traffic • Sufficient workability

  4. Mixing Place pre-heated aggregate in bowl and add hot asphalt

  5. Mixing Place bowl on mixer and mix until aggregate is well-coated

  6. Compaction Example of typical full-size compactors.

  7. HMA PLANT OPERATION

  8. Types Of Plants BATCH DRUM MIXER

  9. Basic Purpose Of HMA Plants To produce a quality hot asphalt mixture that contains the desired proportions of asphalt and aggregate and meets all specifications.

  20. HMA PLACEMENT

  21. To Be Covered • Hauling • Placement • Compaction

  22. Different types of trucks are Used

  23. Self Propelled Paver

  26. COMPACTION GOOD COMPACTION LEADS TO GOOD PERFORMANCE

  27. Reason For Compaction • To prevent further compaction • To provide shear strength or resistance to rutting • To ensure the mixture is waterproof • To prevent excessive oxidation of the asphalt binder

  28. Temperature is critical
