Investigation of the performance of open-graded asphalt mixture containing waste glass and fly ash
摘要
This study explores the sustainable development of road infrastructure by substituting conventional aggregates with waste glass and Type C fly ash in open-graded asphalt mixtures. Performance evaluations through laboratory experiments showed that replacing virgin granite aggregate with waste glass (up to 30%) and using Type C fly ash as filler had minimal impact on air-void content, indirect tensile strength, and Marshall stability. However, permeability decreased for mixtures with both unmodified (PG 67-22) and modified (PG 76-22) binders. For mixtures with PG 76-22 binder, moisture resistance improved with 10% waste glass replacement and fly ash filler while raveling resistance increased with higher waste glass content. These findings demonstrate the potential of using waste glass and fly ash in open-graded asphalt mixture, offering a sustainable alternative for pavement construction.
