1 INDIAN GEOTECHNICAL SOCIETY CHENNAI CHAPTER Influence of Aggregate Flakiness on Dense Bituminous Macadam & Semi Dense Bituminous Concrete Mixes D. Sakthibalan 1 ABSTRACT: The physical properties of coarse aggregates are more significant in new generation bituminous mixtures. The strength and serviceability requirements of bituminous mixture such as Stability, Flow, Voids in Mineral Aggregate (VMA), Voids Filled with Bitumen (VFB), Air Voids (V a) and Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) highly depend on the physical properties of aggregates. Flakiness is an important physical property of mineral aggregates which affects the quality of bituminous mixes. In this study, the influence of flaky aggregates on the properties of most commonly used bituminous mixes in India such as Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM) and Semi Dense Bituminous Concrete (SDBC) mixes are analysed with different proportions of flaky aggregate and conclusions are drawn. KEYWORDS: Flakiness, Tensile strength ratio, Mineral aggregate, Bituminous concrete, Bituminous Mecadam Introduction The shape of aggregate particle has a significant influence on the performance of the bituminous pavement. Particle shape can be described as cubical, flat, elongated and round. The presence of flaky aggregates is considered as undesirable in bituminous mixtures because of their tendency to break down during construction and subsequent traffic operations. The voids present in a compacted mix depend on the shape of aggregates. Highly flaky aggregates have more voids and reduce the workability. Hence it was felt that the study on the effect of the flaky aggregates on bituminous mixtures is relevant and essential. Objectives The objectives of this study is investigate the effect of flaky aggregates on the following properties of DBM and SDBC mixes > Stability > Flow > Percent air voids > Voids in mineral aggregate percent > Percent voids filled with bitumen > Tensile strength ratio Methodology In this study, the behaviour of DBM and SDBC mixes was studied with aggregates having different flakiness indices (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%). Since the aim of this study is to quantify the effects of flaky aggregates alone, elongated aggregates were completely removed from the aggregate samples to avoid the influence of elongated aggregates. The following properties were investigated in this study by conducting Marshall tests. > Stability > Flow > Percent air voids (V a) > Voids in Mineral Aggregate (VMA percent) > Percent Voids Filled with Bitumen (VFB) > Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) From the experimental results, analysis was made and conclusions were drawn. Experimental Investigations The aggregates used in this study were 20 mm, 12 mm, 6 mm and stone dust. Bitumen of penetration grade 60/70 was used. The properties of the materials used are given in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1 Physical Properties of Aggregates Sl.No Test Test method Unit Test results 20mm 12mm 6mm Dust 1.

The proportions of aggregate sizes were determined by trial and error method to achieve the combined gradation as per the requirements. The proportions arrived for different aggregate sizes for DBM mix are as given below > 20 mm aggregate - 20% > 12 mm aggregate - 25% > 6 mm aggregate - 30% > Stone dust - 25% The proportions arrived for different aggregate sizes for SDBC mix are as given below > 20 mm aggregate - 5% > 12 mm aggregate - 5% > 6 mm aggregate - 55% > Stone dust - 35% The mix design was carried out for DBM and SDBC mixes of 50mm thickness (Grading II in MoSRT&H specifications) with non - flaky aggregates and non elongated aggregates and optimum bitumen content was observed as 4.6 % for DBM and 5.0 % for SDBC by weight of mix. Analysis of Data DBM Mix with Different Flakiness Indices for Aggregates Marshall specimens were prepared at optimum bitumen content with varying flakiness indices for aggregates (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%) and tested in the laboratory. The above proportions of flaky aggregates were maintained after carefully removing all the elongated aggregates to avoid the influence of elongated aggregates and to assess the influence of flaky aggregates alone accurately. The properties of DBM mix with various flakiness indices are given in Table 3. Table 3 Test results of DBM mix with different flakiness indices for aggregates Flakiness index % MoSRT&H requirement Stability (kn) Flow (mm) Va (%) VMA (%) Min 13 VFB (%) TSR (%) Min 80 Stability The variation of stability with increase in flakiness index is shown in Figure 1. It is observed that stability decreases with increase in proportion of flaky aggregates. The stability of mix with non - flaky aggregates is found to be kn against the minimum requirement of 9kN which indicates that non - flaky aggregates yield much higher strength than the minimum requirement. Eventhough, the stability value gradually decreases with increase in the proportion of flaky requirement of 9 kn upto flakiness index of 89%. Fig 1. Variation of Stability with Flakiness Indices
