Asphalt mix concrete must be thoroughly heated during mixing, transport, placement, and compaction. The asphalt binder used in asphalt mix may be stiff and brittle at room temperature, so that once this type of asphalt concrete cools it becomes stiff and strong enough to
Get PriceAsphalt/Asphalt Concrete mixes are designed for specific functions, characteristics, attributes, performance, location and function in the pavement structure. For example, asphalt surface mixes have an entirely different function in the pavement structure than base asphalt mixes and are therefore designed differently.
Get PriceMixing of asphalt and aggregate is accomplished in one of several ways: Hot-mix asphalt concrete (commonly abbreviated as HMA) This is produced by heating the asphalt binder to decrease its viscosity, and drying the aggregate to remove moisture from it prior to mixing. Mixing is generally performed with the aggregate at about 300 °F (roughly 150 °C) for virgin asphalt and 330 °F (166
Get PriceIn short, asphalt concrete is a composite material and asphalt used as binder mixed together then molded into layers and compacted.
