Abstract
A typical dense graded asphalt mixture was produced in a drum plant, a batch plant and in the laboratory, all targeting the same volumetric composition. Samples from each production method were tested for volumetric composition, Marshall properties, properties indicative of resistance to deformation, fracture, and moisture damage, as well as complex (flexural) modulus over a range of frequencies and temperatures. The results indicated that each different production method produced consistent asphalt, but significant differences were observed between the different production method volumetrics. These significant differences did not affect the Marshall properties. However, significant differences were observed in deformation resistance, moisture resistance, and complex modulus results. Because of the interaction between asphalt volumetrics and other asphalt properties, it was not clear whether the observed differences in performance properties were a result of the volumetric composition differences, or a fundamental difference in the asphalt production methods.
