Aggregate Gradation
• Distribution of particle sizes expressed as a percentage of
total weight (total % passing various sieve sizes)
• Determined by sieve analysis
• Gradation affect stiffness, stability, durability, permeability,
workability, fatigue, skid, and moisture damage resistance >>
limits on the agg gradation to be used in HMA
• HMA need to have sufficient air voids in grading mix for
durability (permits enough AC to be incorporated) and avoid
bleeding and rutting (yet still have enough air space in
mixture)
• Graphically presented on semi-log graph
• 4 gradations : well (dense), uniform (single), gap graded ,
open graded (air space in mixture)

2. Uniformly graded (single size)• Few points of contact
• Poor interlock (shape dependent)• High permeability•Surface dressing
1. Well graded (dense)• Good interlock• Low permeability• Near maximum density• AC14/AC10/AC28
3. Gap graded• Small % of agg in the mid size range • Only limited sizes• Good interlock • Low permeability• Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA)

Aggregate Size Definitions
• Two designation for max size
1. Max size
2. Nominal max size
• Mix designations in spec typically use nominal max size
• Nominal Maximum Aggregate Size Largest sieve size that retains some of the
agg, but not more than 10%
• Maximum Aggregate Size Smallest sieve size which 100% of the agg
pass

Steps in Gradation Analysis
Mechanical sieve analysis
– Place dry aggregate in standard stack of sieves
– Place sieve stack in mechanical shaker
– Determine mass of aggregate retained on each sieve

Aggregate Blending
• Two or more stockpile need to be blended to get max density and desired void for HMA (or meet spec envelope)
• Reasons for blending:
1. Obtain desired gradation
2. Single natural or quarried material not enough
3. Economical to combine natural and processed materials
• Normally three or more stockpiles plus mineral filler
• Most common method for determining proportion – trial & error
• Blended aggregate specific gravity
![Page 16: CHAPTER 2: HOT MIX DESIGN · Mix Design Design objectives –Develop an economical blend of aggregates and asphalt that meet design requirements Historical mix design methods 1. Marshall](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040600/5e8c65aeba3d737ddc667738/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Blending Stockpiles
• Basic formula for combining stockpiles to achieve a target gradation is:
p = Aa + Bb + Cc + ….
where:p = percent of material passing given sieve size for the combined agg
A, B, C, .. = percent passing given sieve for each agg.a, b, c, … = proportion (decimal fraction) of A, B, C, …
to be used in blend, a + b + c +… = 1.00

17
Trial and Error
• Aided by experience and plots of indiv. gradation curves and spec limits
• Calculated grading compared with spec – adjust until pass
• Guided by reasoning, maths, experience
• Use of spreadsheet now common

Design objectives – Develop an economical blend of aggregates
and asphalt that meet design requirements
Historical mix design methods
1. Marshall – use impact hammer
2. Hveem – use kneading compactor, Hveem Stabilometer
New
1. Superpave gyratory – use gyratory compactor to simulate
field compaction, able to accommodate large size aggregate

Aggregate Specific Gravity
• Ratio weight of mat. to water of equal volume at 23C,
useful in making weight-vol conversion
• In metric units, G simply:
G = weight / vol
• Four Gs – apparent, bulk, effective, bulk impregnated
1. Apparent – weight / vol solid …… Dry
2. Bulk – weight / overall vol …… SSD
3. Effective – weight / (overall vol – asp asorb. pores)
4. Bulk impregnated – eff. but immerse in asphalt
Gsb < Gse < Gsa

VMA 10-16 12-15
VFA 50-85 65-85
•VTM 3-5%

•VMA 13-14
•Low VMA- loss of durability, not enough asphalt.Change in asphalt
cement content could be more critical
•High VMA- loss of strength, increased cost
•VFA- flip of VTM, VTM<3VFA goes up, VTM>5 VFA goes down

Marshall Design Method
• Bruce Marshall, 1939, Mississipi Highway Department, refined-US army.
• WES began to study it in 1943 for WWII
– Evaluated compaction effort
• No. of blows, foot design, etc.
• Decided on 10 lb.. Hammer, 50 blows/side
• 4% voids after traffic
• Initial criteria were established and upgraded for increased tire pressures and loads

OBC determination
• 4 graphs (JKR, 2008):
– Peak stability
– Peak bulk SG
– VFB= 75% WC, 70% BC
– VTM= 4% WC, 5% BC

WHAT IS PREMIX PRODUCTION?
• Premix production is a process of mixing the aggregates and asphalt in the hot mix facilities, to be used as road material regardless whether it’s an ACW, ACB or DBM.

HOT MIX ASPHALT FACILITIES
Purpose of an HMA facility is to properly proportion, blend, and heat aggregate and asphalt to produce
an HMA that meets the requirements of the job mix formula.

DIFFERENCE
• drum mix plants dry the aggregate and blend it with asphalt in a continuous process and in the same piece of equipment.
• batch plants dry and heats the aggregate and then in a separate mixer blend the aggregate and asphalt one batch at a time
