Abstract

In this study, the deformation strength (SD) was implemented as a statistical quality control criterion for field asphalt mixture for reducing rutting of asphalt pavement because SD is a property showing high correlation with rut resistance of asphalt mixes. If the asphalt mix showing a high probability of passing SD ≥ 3.2 MPa (the mix-design criterion) is paved in the surface course of normal asphalt pavement, the pavement will have to show a strong resistance against rutting. Assuming SD population follows a Normal distribution, the 3.2 MPa was set up as the critical value (SDcr) to pass, and the coefficient of variation (VC) of field mix is considered to be 12%. The process mean (x̅) of field mix based on the standard deviation derived from VC = 12% and the probability of failure (Pf) 0.1 was determined to be 3.51 MPa. To verify the proposed x̅ field-mix samples were randomly collected from 24 locations around country, and the SD was measured from field samples. The statistical analyses showed that the Vc was found to be relatively low level, 10.20%, which is very close to the Vc = 10%. The Pf for passing 3.2 MPa was 0.09072, which is very close to Pf = 0.1. Therefore, based on these field statistics of VC = 10% and Pf = 0.1, the x̅ was modified to be 3.46 MPa. Since this value of 3.46MPa is x̅ limit, if the field mix is managed by the strength quality control (QC) using this limit, the 90% of asphalt mix will pass the 3.2 MPa, and only 10% will fail to pass the limit. If this QC is introduced, the contractor will have to pay attention for preparing strong enough materials from mix-design stage to field strength QC inspection successfully.
