| Abstract | The purpose of this research was to find, for bituminous paving mixtures, the ranges in compressive and tensile strengths and stress-strain relationships. By plotting Mohr diagrams of the compressive and tensile stresses, a range of shearing strengths is obtained which enable the selection of allowable values of shearing resistance. Two types of aggregate mixed with various percentages of bitumen were tested; crushed aggregate and uncrushed stone, representing materials having high and low stability, respectively, were used in the tests. Reference data, for comparing the tensile and compressive strengths at various percentages of asphalt, were obtained by means of the Marshall test. |
