Asphalt Mix Design Method
7th Edition (Asphalt Institute, USA)
Design Steps
Select Type and grading of mix to be used.
Select aggregates to be employed in the mix.
Determine the proportion of each aggregate required to
produce the design grading.
Determine the specific gravity
Make up the trial specimens with varying bitumen contents.
Determine the specific gravity of each compacted specimen.
Make stability tests on the specimen.
Calculate the percentage of voids, VMA and the percent VFB in
each specimen.
Select the optimum bitumen content.
Check the values of Marshall Stability, Flow, Voids in total mix,
VFB with optimum bitumen content and Gmm .

CHEMICAL
COMPOSITION BITUMEN
• Filler should be finally mineral such as Rock Dust or Hydrated lime or cement
• Hydrated lime is prefer because of its anti stripping and antioxidant properties
