Σύνοψη

The purpose of this project is the design of bituminous mixes using the Marshall method of design. The design of asphalt paving mixes is largely a matter of selecting and proportioning materials to obtain the desired properties in
the finished construction. The overall objective of the design procedure is to determine an economical blend and gradation of aggregates and asphalt that
yields a mix having:
- Sufficient asphalt to ensure a durable pavement.
- Adequate mix stability to satisfy the demands of traffic without distortion or displacement.
- Voids content high enough to allow for a slight amound of additional compaction under traffic loading without flushing, bleeding, and loss of
stability, yet low enough to keep out harmful air and moisture.
- Sufficient workability to permit efficient placement of the mix without segregation.
The selected mix design is usually the most economical one which will satisfactorily meet all of the established criteria. Mix design is a tool used
in control. It is utilised in material acceptance, job mix control and final pavement compaction.
