| Summary: | Mixing sequence of in asphalt concrete mixture production could reduce the amount of bitumen
content, reduces manufacturing temperature and improve the performance of asphalt mixture.
Besides, the benefits of the sequential method in terms of economical are lower asphalt mixture
production energy and material cost due to lower bitumen content [1-2].
Other than that, asphalt mixture produced with the sequential mixing method are more workable
with less segregation; and showed an even air voids distribution and mean particle distance
along the depth of specimen. This implies that the sequential asphalt mixture may compact more
easily. Besides, sequential mix had higher indirect tensile strength than the conventional mix [2]. |
