22、Summary of Practice4.1 Materials SelectionAggregates, asphalt, and additivesthat meet specification are selected.4.2 Select Optimum GradingAt least three trial aggregategradings from the selected aggregate stockpiles are blended.Gradings for OGFC are based on volume. The dry-rodded unitweight for th
23、e coarse aggregate for each trial grading isdetermined in accordance with Test Method C 29/C 29M. Foreach trial grading, an initial trial asphalt content between 6.0and 6.5 % (generally higher for asphalt-rubber SpecificationD6114) is selected and at least two specimens are compactedusing 50 gyratio
24、ns of the Superpave Gyratory Compactor(SGC) (Test Method D 6925) or other suitable compactor. Anoptimum grading is selected to ensure stone-on-stone contact.NOTE 1If a standard aggregate grading and asphalt content has beensuccessfully used, three trial gradings may not be necessary. Examples ofcomm
25、only used gradings and asphalt contents are shown in Appendix X1.4.3 Design Asphalt Content SelectionReplicate speci-mens are compacted using 50 gyrations of a SGC or othersuitable compactor at three asphalt contents. The designasphalt content is selected on the basis of satisfactory conform-ance wi
26、th the requirements of Section 12.4.4 Evaluating Moisture SusceptibilityThe moisture sus-ceptibility of the designed mixture shall be evaluated using theAASHTO T 283 test method. If the mixture fails the selectedmoisture susceptibility requirement, it is suggested that appro-priate modifiers such as
27、 liquid anti-strip, or hydrated lime, orboth are evaluated to meet the requirement.5. Significance and Use5.1 The procedure described in this practice is used todesign OGFC mixtures that will provide good performance interms of permeability (tending to reduce hydroplaning andpotential for skidding),
28、 and durability when subjected to highvolumes of traffic.6. Material Selection6.1 The first step in the mix design process is to selectmaterials suitable for the OGFC. Materials include aggregates,asphalt, and additives.6.1.1 Selection of Coarse AggregateCoarse aggregateshould have abrasion values o
29、f less than 30 % in accordancewith Test Method C 131. Crushed gravel (if used) must have atleast 90 % particles with two faces and 95 % particles with oneface resulting from crushing in accordance with Test MethodD 5821. The percentage of flat and elongated particles shouldnot exceed 10 %, with a ra
30、tio of 5:1 in maximum to minimumdimension, respectively in accordance with Test MethodD 4791.6.1.2 Selection of Fine AggregateThe fine aggregateshould have an uncompacted voids content of least 40 % whentested in accordance with Test Methods C 1252, Method C. Itis important that the aggregate be cle
31、an. The sand equivalentvalue of the fine aggregate passing the 2.36 mm No. 8 sieve,according to Test Method D 2419, should be at least 45 % orgreater. It is recommended that the material to be tested beseparated on the 2.36 mm No. 8 sieve because of the coarsegrading of the aggregate. It is also ver
32、y important to removeany coatings or fines adhering to the coarse material.6.1.3 Asphalt Grade SelectionThe asphalt grade selectionis based on environment, traffic, and expected functionalperformance of the OGFC. The preferred specified asphaltgrade should meet Specification D 6373, however other gr
33、adesof asphalt, such as viscosity-graded Specification D 3381 orpenetration graded Specification D 946 may be suitable. APG-grade, one or two grades stiffer (at high temperature) thannormally used at the location of the pavement, has been shownto perform successfully. Mixes with modified asphalt cem
34、entshave shown significant improvement in performance. The useof modified asphalt cements is permitted provided that theselected asphalt grade has a PG temperature range exceeding95. This is determined by subtracting the low from the highspecification temperature grade (for example, PG 70 28 = 70 (2
35、8) = 98). A value less than 95 may be used if satisfactoryperformance has been noted with the selected PG grade.6.1.4 Selection of AdditivesEither a cellulose fiber or amineral fiber may be used to minimize draindown. Typically adosage rate of 0.3 % by mixture mass (or weight of total mix)is used bu
36、t the draindown target of 0.3 % maximum should beD 7064/D 7064M 082the acceptance guideline for the dosage rate of the fiberstabilized additive. The dosage rate of fiber stabilizer additiveused should be in the range listed in 12.8.NOTE 2For some mixes which use polymer-modified asphalt orasphalt ru
37、bber, fiber additives may not be required or necessary to obtaingood performance or control draindown.7. Test Specimens7.1 Numbers of SamplesTwelve samples are initiallyrequired: four samples at each of the three trial gradings. Eachsample is mixed with the trial asphalt content (typicallybetween 6.
38、0 and 6.5 % for neat liquid asphalts), and three ofthe four samples for each trial grading are compacted. Theremaining sample of each trial grading is then used todetermine the theoretical maximum density according to TestMethod D 2041 or Test Method D 6857.NOTE 3For some polymer modified asphalt an
39、d asphalt-rubber, thetypical asphalt content may be higher; see Appendix X1.7.2 Preparation of AggregatesDry aggregates to a con-stant mass at 105 to 110C 220 to 230F and separate theaggregates by dry-sieving into the desired size fractions (TestMethod C 136).7.3 Determination of Mixing and Compacti
40、on Tempera-tures:7.3.1 The temperature to which an asphalt must be heated toproduce a viscosity of 0.00017 6 0.00002 m2/s 170 6 20 cStshall be the mixing temperature.7.3.2 The temperature to which the asphalt must be heatedto produce a viscosity 0.00028 6 0.00003 m2/s 280 6 30 cStshall be the compac
41、tion temperature.7.3.3 However, while the temperatures shown in 7.3.1 and7.3.2 will work for most unmodified asphalt, the selectedtemperatures may need to be changed for polymer modifiedasphalt or asphalt-rubber. For polymer modified asphalt andasphalt-rubber, the manufacturer or supplier guidelines
42、 formixing and compaction temperatures should be followed.7.4 Preparation of Mixtures:7.4.1 A mechanical mixing apparatus shall be used.7.4.2 An initial batch shall be mixed for the purpose ofcoating (buttering) the mixture bowl and stirrers. This batchshall be wasted after mixing and the sides of t
43、he bowl andstirrers shall be cleaned of mixture residue by scraping with asmall limber spatula. The bowl shall not be wiped with cloth orwashed clean with solvent, except when a change is to be madein the asphalt or at the end of a design.7.4.3 For each test specimen, weigh into separate pans theamo
44、unt of each size fraction required to produce a batch ofaggregate that will result in a compacted specimen of thecorrect size. Mix the aggregate in each pan; place in an ovenset to a temperature not exceeding the mixing temperatureestablished in 7.3 by more than approximately 28C 80F.Heat the asphal
45、t to the established mixing temperature. Thestabilizing additive or fiber (if used), should be added to theheated aggregate prior to the introduction of the asphalt. Thestabilizing additive should be dry-mixed thoroughly with theheated aggregate. This procedure is needed to ensure an evendistributio
46、n of the stabilizing additive during the laboratorymixing process. Slightly longer mixing times may be requireddue to the increased surface area added by the fiber, comparedto mixes without fibers. The supplier recommended mixingtemperature should compensate for this stiffening.NOTE 4For polymer mod
47、ified asphalt and asphalt-rubber, the addi-tives should be incorporated into the liquid asphalt and thoroughlyinteracted according to the procedure recommended by the manufactureror supplier of the additives before the asphalt is mixed with the aggregate.7.4.4 Form a crater in the dry blended aggreg
48、ate and to thisadd stabilizing fiber additive if used, and then add the weighedpreheated required amount of asphalt into the crater formed inthe aggregate blend. Exercise care to prevent loss of the mixduring subsequent handling. At this point, the temperature ofthe aggregate and asphalt shall be wi
49、thin the limits of themixing temperature established in 7.3. Mix the aggregate andasphalt rapidly until thoroughly coated.7.5 Size and Shape of Compacted SpecimensSpecimendiameter shall be 100 mm 4 in. and nominal height shall be63.5 mm 2.5 in.7.6 Compaction of SpecimensThe compaction tempera-ture is determined in accordance with 7.3. Laboratory samplesof OGFC are short-term aged in accordance with AASHTOR30and then compacted using 50 gyrations of the SGC orother compactor providing equivalent compacted density.8.
