AN INTERPRETATION OF STABILITY MEASUREMENTS OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURES WITH VARIOUS CONTENTS OF FILLER

THE ADDITION OF FILLER RENDERS A BITUMINOUS MIXTURE MUCH MORE SENSITIVE TO VARIATIONS IN BINDER CONTENT, WITH REGARD TO STABILITY AND DEFORMABILITY. THUS IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WITH A BINDER PERCENTAGE SLIGHTLY BELOW OPTIMUM, A MIXTURE WITH HIGH FILLER CONTENT COULD HAVE MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS INFERIOR TO THOSE OF A MIXTURE WITH LESS FILLER. THIS STUDY AIMS AT: (1) FINDING EXPERIMENTAL CONFIRMATION OF THIS PHENOMENON, (2) DISCOVERING THE POSSIBLE CAUSES, (3) ESTABLISHING THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PHENOMENON IS ALLIED TO THE METHOD OF STABILITY MEASUREMENT, AND (4) DEFINING AN INDEX WHICH IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIES THIS CONDITION AND PERMITS REMEDIAL MEASURES. /RRL/
