  • Abstract:
  • Abstract: Rutting (permanent deformation) of bituminous pavements is one of major types of distress experienced in the service life of pavements. Bituminous mixes are composed of three components: aggregate, binder, and air voids. In the process of plant production and construction, the mix quality can vary in the three components and their variability can further affect a pavement performance. Aggregates are one of the major building materials which are used in the construction industry and the major portion in the construction of highway pavements. Therefore, aggregate properties affect the performance of bituminous pavements. Aggregate Gradation is one of the important characteristics of aggregates affecting rutting of hot mix asphalt. The objective of this research is to investigate how aggregate gradation and binder content can impact individually and collectively, the performance characteristics (rutting, cracking) of bituminous concrete in the context of construction variations.
