Author:Denneman, E; Verhaeghe, Benoit MJA; Sadzik, ESDate:Jul 2007The aggregate structure of the compacted mix is a determining factor for the performance of Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA). In this paper, the grading characteristics of good and poor performing HMA mixes are explored using the concepts of the Bailey ...Read more
Author:Denneman, EDate:Jul 2007In this paper, locally developed algorithms for asphalt pavement temperature prediction are validated against new field data. The algorithms provide accepable estimates of the actual pavement temperatures at the monitored sites. The algorithms ...Read more
Author:Jooste, FJ; Lourens, JPDate:Sep 1998The broad objective is to make recommendations for appropriate modelling procedures to be used in the structural design of asphalt layers. Findings of this investigation are intended to be used in refining and validating existing asphalt ...Read more
Author:Verhaeghe, Benoit MJA; Myburgh, PA; Denneman, EDate:Sep 2007The paper seeks to redress the concerns expressed at the eight Conference on Asphalt pavements for Southern Africa (CAPSA) that the design of hot-mix asphalt did not adequately address prevention of rutting. It presents a consolidation of ...Read more
Author:Walubita, LF; Fuentes, L; Prakoso, A; Pianeta, LM; Komba, Julius J; Naik, BDate:Mar 2020Rutting is one of the common distresses occurring in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements that can be mitigated through adequate laboratory testing during the HMA mix-design screening stage. The Hamburg Wheel Tracking Tester (HWTT) is one of the ...Read more
Author:Maluke, N; Mturi, George AJ; Hesp, SAMDate:Oct 2018In South Africa, over the last two decades, there has been a need to improve on the ductility specification test and to better simulate ageing of the asphalt bitumen in the laboratory for the control of fatigue cracking distress. Focusing on ...Read more
Author:Anochie-Boateng, Joseph; Komba, Julius J; Ventura, D; Verhaeghe, Benoit MJADate:Sep 2011This study emanated from the revision of South African mechanistic-empirical pavement design method. At the CSIR road pavement laboratory, the bulk relative density (BRD) of compacted hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixes is determined on cores and ...Read more
Author:Denneman, E; Steyn, WJVDM; Maina, JW; Sadzik, ESDate:Oct 2008This paper is based on a study into the rutting performance of HMA which forms part of the larger research initiative. The objective of this phase is to identify and develop appropriate test protocols and associated acceptance criteria for ...Read more
