Sentence examples for mixture design procedure from inspiring English sources

The implementation of a step-by-step concrete mixture design procedure to determine an optimized aggregate gradation is described.

The nominal maximum aggregate size is 9.5 mm and the designed traffic level is less than 3 million ESALs based on the current Superpave™ asphalt mixture design procedure.

This is a relatively new concept in Colombia with scarce local documented literature, particularly on the mechanical properties of the hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures modified by addition of RAP and the corresponding mixture design procedures.

Therefore, serious plans should be set up in Jordan to shift from the presently used Marshall mix design procedure to SUPERPAVE mixture specifications.

However, the use of these materials in the Superpave mix design system is not standardized, so it is essential to investigate whether a rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC) mixture containing RAP can be used in the Superpave mix design procedure.

The higher porosity of RCAs can affect the resulting Recycled Aggregate Concretes (RACs) properties and, for this reason, the mix design procedure available in literature for ordinary concrete mixture cannot be applied as such in the case of RACs.

Although substantial advances related to these topics were reported since implementation of PFC mixtures in the 1990's, there is still a need for integration of several of these advances in an improved mix design procedure.

In this research a comprehensive evaluation of the locally available aggregate usually used in the asphalt concrete mixtures was carried out to ensure that these materials conform to the new mix design procedures developed by SUPERPAVE.

Asphalt mixtures were designed using the Superpave design procedure using a 60/70-penetration 60/70-penetrationder havingradeuperpasphaltformance grade of PG 64-10 and crushed limestone aggregate.

A design procedure for fiber-reinforced asphalt mixture is proposed, which elects the fiber type based on the characteristics of both fiber and asphalt mixture, designs the optimum asphalt content following the Marshall method, and then determines the optimum fiber content in terms of performance test results.

Until now, most of the proposed mixture design methods are based on a trial and error procedure, which is expensive and work intensive.
