Recipe Approach A recipe based mix design - the early days Barber wearing surface: Asphalt cement 12 to 15%; Sand 70 to 83%; Pulverized carbonite of lime 5 to 15% Cushion coat and surface coat Clifford Richardson (1905): surfacing mixtures and asphaltic concrete Richardson mix: VMA and air voids introduced Hubbard and Field (1920’s) - sand asphalt and asphalt concrete Sand asphalt - hand rammer Hubbard compaction - 6-inch diameter specimens compacted first with 30 ‘heavy blows’ using 2-inch rammer followed by 30 blows with a 5.75-inch rammer followed by static compaction with a 10,000-pound load Murali (IITM) Asphaltica, 2017 10 / 78
Hveem and Marshall Hveem Stabilometer and Kneading Compactor A tamping foot – 4 inch diameter mold –retract and rotate through 60◦ Stability and cohesion Hveem pavements had lower asphalt contents and more tendencies for fatigue cracking Marshall Stability and Impact Compactor Outgrowth of Hubbard and Field - Impact hammer More binder content - Rutting is a problem No VMA initially only VFA but included VMA during 1962 Murali (IITM) Asphaltica, 2017 11 / 78
