This paper introduces the new technology of road construction pavement Superpave. From the beginning of the technology, the method of calculation of road pavement temperature has been taken as an example on the Shymkent city road in Kazakhstan. The material calculation for high quality was conducted with the new climate data of the exact city. A new methodological approach will determine the most accurate selection of bitumen binder grades using a specifically developed PG Grade calculation based on the meteorological data for the period from 2000 to 2020 (20 years) for the specific city. This will be intended to establish requirements for bitumen binders testing by the traditional method for both original and modified bitumen, such as penetration, softening point, and flash and fire point tests, taking into account the climatic characteristics of the republic. Today, have to be accounted that the most common bitumen binder is a 70-100 penetration rating, which means that quite incorrect to use at the highest temperature in Shymkent at +41.3°C and with the lowest temperature at -17.8°C. The results will help to decide on the use of polymer modification of binders, taking into account the design temperatures and operating conditions of asphalt concrete surfaces.
Economic expansion is a positive side effect of national highway construction initiatives. So, the plan is to construct these projects rapidly. This calls for premium asphalt. As a result of aggregate gradation variation, numerous asphalt mixes have been rejected and rebuilt on-site in recent decades, resulting in the waste of valuable resources and valuable time. Consequently, the goal of this study was to examine the durability of asphalt mixes where the aggregate gradation ranged from +4% above to 2% below the standard range. The aggregate gradation is inconsistent throughout HMA manufacture. The aggregate is graded at 2, 4, and 6 percent over and below the allowed range. Case in point: the gradation of the control mix design. Marshall There was a quantitative evaluation of mixed properties throughout the design phase. HMA mix performance was evaluated via high temperature and water cycles by vehicle pressure observation and Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) testing. In hot climates, asphalt with gradations above +4% and 2% of both the higher and lower standard values showed the greatest resilience to water damage and the least rutting. In warm regions, asphalt mixture design will be constrained by the higher aggregate gradation limits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
