SAND SILT RATIO AS DESIGN CRITERIA IN DESIGN OF BITUMINOUS PAVING MIXTURES

SAND SILT RATIO MAY BE CONSIDERED AS AN ADDITIONAL DESIGN CRITERION IN ARRIVING AT THE PROPER AGGREGATE BLEND. TO SUIT INDIAN CONDITIONS, THE LIMIT SPECIFIED BETWEEN 55:1 AND 10:1 MAY BE SUITABLY ALTERED, AFTER DETAILED STUDY BOTH IN LABORATORY AND FIELD. THIS IS ASSUMING, OF COURSE, THAT BITUMEN CONTENT NEAR THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT HAS BEEN USED AND THAT GOOD CONSTRUCTION METHODS HAVE BEEN USED IN PLACING THE MIX. THE AUTHOR SHOWS HOW SAND SILT RATIO MAY BE CONSIDERED AS A SIMPLE FACTOR TO GUIDE THE FIELD ENGINEER IN HIS INTERPRETATION OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HIS DAILY EXTRACTION RESULTS. /DOT/
