Effect of Aggregate Shape and Binder on the Rutting Characteristics of Bituminous Mixes
Abstract: Rutting or permanent deformation is the depression in the wheel paths due to accumulation of small amounts of unrecoverable strains under the channelized repeated wheel loads. Shear deformation or lateral plastic flow of the bituminous mix from the wheel tracks also results in rutting. Performance of bituminous mixes is influenced by the constituents of the mix made of aggregates and binder. Among various parameters of these two ingredients, aggregate shape …
