This book was released on 1994 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is a relatively new paving mixture in the U.S. which shows promise as a tough, stable, rut-resistant surface mix in certain applications. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) established a Technical Working Group (TWG) composed of representatives from Industry, the states, the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT), and FHWA to develop a set of model guidelines for materials and construction. The TWG also undertook the development of a research agenda, to monitor performance on completed SMA projects, and to assist states and contractors in SMA mix design and construction. This publication is a product of the TWG and provides general guidelines for the use of SMA paving mixtures, including composition of an SMA mixture, aggregates and additives, production, hauling and paving, and compaction.

Download or read book Construction and Performance of a Stone Matrix Asphalt Mix Test Section in Virginia written by G. W. Maupin and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SMA is a gap-graded mix filled with a rich asphalt-fines mastic developed in Europe. In 1991 five states constructed trial sections to determine if satisfactory mixes could be produced in the United States with current materials and high rates of production. This report discusses Virginia's first section, placed in 1992 near Lynchburg. During construction, better equipment was necessary to control the amount of fines contained in SMA mixes. Lack of control in the mix gradation caused variability on the roadway and on routine mix tests conducted during construction. The mix containing the cellulose fiber, Arbocel, has rotted more at stop-lights than the mix containing the polymer, Vestoplast, or the high-stability control mix. However, all mixes continue to perform well. Laboratory creep tests and gyratory shear tests predicted that the control mix and Vestoplast mix would be more resistant to rutting and consolidation under traffic. This investigation and work in other states have improved the current Virginia specification for SMA. The gradation was coarsened, a stiffer asphalt cement was required, and plant equipment that can adequately handle the aggregates was used. With these changes, future installations will perform better than the current dense graded mixes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003, Virginia launched an expanded commitment to stone matrix asphalt (SMA). By the end of 2004, contracts that encompassed nearly 400,000 tons of SMA had been awarded and most of the material produced and placed. During this 2-year timeframe, more construction districts and contractors were engaged in the design, production, and placement of SMA than at any time in the history of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Most were experiencing it for the first time. This report documents many aspects of the 2003/2004 SMA "implementation initiative." It summarizes and presents detailed information on costs and quantities, volumetric properties, compaction, permeability, aggregate quality, and initial functional character (ride and friction) for SMA pavements placed during the 2003 and 2004 seasons. SMA is a complex and expensive HMA material. Carefully documenting (or "baselining") today's experiences and understanding the consequences in terms of lifetime costing are important keys to the continued successful deployment of the best HMA technologies for Virginia. If the cost savings associated with SMA (as identified by the National Asphalt Pavement Association) continue and are applied to only the 14% of VDOT's annual program allotted to SMA in 2005, the fruits of this research can contribute to more than $14 million per year in savings.
