LABORATORY EVALUATION OF BOTTOM ASH ASPHALT MIXES

This study investigated the effect of the addition of a coal combustion remnant, bottom ash, into asphalt mixes. The purpose was to determine if mixes prepared with bottom ash showed any deterioration of desirable performance measures when compared to control mixes. Data collected during the study were summarized in a computer database and analyzed statistically. The results showed that the ash mixes displayed the quality of maintaining desirable tensile strength properties when compared with control mixes. Ash mixes displayed slightly improved properties over control mixes in the presence of lime.
