ASPHALT CORE MIX DESIGN

Main characteristics of mix design
1. Fuller grading as follows:

di = (di / Dmax) 0,41 x 100

2. Voids < 3% . Asphalt content: 6 - 8,5%.

3. Core width is 1% of H . Increase width at foundation.

4. Main mix composition is:

40% coarse aggregate M.Size = 19mm

40% sand
10-12% fines. (< No.200)

5. Layer thickness: 20cm.

6. Marshall design.

TRANSITIONS AND ROCKFILL

Main characteristics

1. Fine transition is placed with the asphalt thickness 20 cm.

2. Fine transition width = 2 asphalt core width.

3. Coarse transition = 2 fine transition width.

4. Fine rockfill well graded with max size = 50 - 60 cm

5. Coarse rockfill well graded with max size = 80cm.

INSTRUMENTATION
 Hydropower 2013-CHINCOLD 2013 Annual Meeting
The 3rd International Symposium on Rockfill Dams

QUALITY CONTROL
1. Rockfill and transitions are controlled for physical indexes. Grading,
density, void ratio, and compressibility modulus.
2. Asphalt concrete is controlled for grading and physical indexes for
aggregates, temperature and voids content.
3. Asphalt is controlled by:
Penetration
Viscosity
% de insolubles
% voltile materials
stability
Density

4. Asphalt concrete is controlled by density, % void and asphalt content.

5. Triaxial tests.
