2、Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) AASHTO Designation: R 30-02 (2015)11. SCOPE 1.1. This standard practice describes procedures for mixture conditioning of compacted and uncompacted hot mix asphalt (HMA). Three types of conditioning are described: (1) mixture conditioning for volumetric mixture design; (2) short

3、-term conditioning for mixture mechanical property testing (both of which simulate the precompaction phase of the construction process); and (3) long-term conditioning for mixture mechanical property testing to simulate the aging that occurs over the service life of a pavement. The procedures for lo

4、ng-term conditioning for mixture mechanical property testing are preceded by the procedure for short-term conditioning for mixture mechanical property testing. 1.2. This standard practice may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the

5、 safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2.

SUMMARY OF PRACTICE For mixture conditioning

7、 for volumetric mixture design, a mixture of aggregate and binder is conditioned in a forced-draft oven for 2 h at the mixtures specified compaction temperature. For short-term mixture conditioning for mechanical property testing, a mixture of aggregate and binder is conditioned in a forced-draft ov

8、en for 4 h at 135C. For long-term mixture conditioning for mechanical property testing, a compacted mixture of aggregate and binder is conditioned in a forced-draft oven for 5 days at 85C. 4. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE The properties and performance of HMA can be more accurately predicted by using conditi

9、oned test samples. The mixture conditioning for the volumetric mixture design procedure is designed to allow for binder absorption during the mixture design. The short-term mixture conditioning for the mechanical property testing procedure is designed to simulate the plant-mixing and construction ef

HAZARDS 6.1. This standard involves the handling of hot binder, aggregate, and HMA, which can cause sev

13、ere burns if allowed to contact skin. Follow standard safety precautions to avoid burns. 7. MIXTURE CONDITIONING PROCEDURES 7.1. Mixture Conditioning for Volumetric Mixture Design: 7.1.1. The mixture conditioning for the volumetric mixture design procedure applies to laboratory- prepared, loose mixt

14、ure only. No mixture conditioning is required when conducting quality control or quality assurance testing on plant-produced mixture. Note 1The agency may identify the need to condition plant-produced mixture to be more representative of field conditions, particularly where absorptive aggregates are

15、 used. 7.1.2. Place the mixture in a pan, and spread it to an even thickness ranging between 25 and 50 mm. Place the mixture and pan in a forced-draft oven for 2 h 5 min at a temperature equal to the mixtures compaction temperature 3C. The compaction temperature range of a HMA mixture is defined as

16、the range of temperatures where the unaged binder has a kinematic viscosity of 280 30 mm2/s (approximately 0.28 0.03 Pas) measured in accordance with T 316 (Note 2). The target compaction temperature is generally the midpoint of this range. Note 2Modified binders may not adhere to the equiviscosity

17、requirements noted. The agency should consider the manufacturers recommendations when establishing the mixing and compaction temperatures for modified binders. Practically, the mixing temperature should not exceed 165C and the compaction temperature should not be lower than 115C. 7.1.3. Stir the mix

18、ture after 60 5 min to maintain uniform conditioning. 7.1.4. After 2 h 5 min, remove the mixture from the forced-draft oven. The conditioned mixture is now ready for compaction or testing. 7.2. Short-Term Conditioning for Mixture Mechanical Property Testing: 7.2.1. The short-term conditioning for th

19、e mixture mechanical property testing procedure applies to laboratory-prepared, loose mix only. 7.2.2. Place the mixture in a pan, and spread it to an even thickness ranging between 25 and 50 mm. Place the mixture and pan in the conditioning oven for 4 h 5 min at a temperature of 135 3C. 2015 by the

Stir the mixture every 60 5 min to maintain uniform conditioning. 7.2.4. After 4 h 5 min, remove the mixture from the forced-draft oven. Th

21、e conditioned mixture is now ready for further conditioning or testing as required. 7.3. Long-Term Conditioning for Mixture Mechanical Property Testing: 7.3.1. The long-term conditioning for the mixture mechanical property testing procedure applies to laboratory-prepared mixtures that have been subj

22、ected to the short-term conditioning for the mixture mechanical property testing procedure described in Section 7.2, plant-mixed HMA, and compacted roadway specimens. 7.3.2.

Long-Term Conditioning of Prepared Test SpecimensPlace the compacted test specimens in the conditioning oven for 120 0.5 h at a temperature of 85 3C. 7.3.5. After 120 0.5 h, turn the oven off;

26、open the doors, and allow the test specimen to cool to room temperature. Do not touch or remove the specimen until it has cooled to room temperature. Note 5Cooling to room temperature will take approximately 16 h. 7.3.6. After cooling to room temperature, remove the test specimen from the oven. The
