Setting (MS) emulsified bitumen has been used as binder for Mastic Asphalt in cold mix. Primarily the laboratory study has been conducted with recommended grading of coarse, fine aggregate and lime as filler in line with the provision of IRC: 1072013 and MORTH specification - for preparation of Mastic Asphalt with Hot mix Asphalt (HMA).
A pre-planned bituminous mix design for pavement construction helps in producing a mix that is workable, durable, strong, and economical in nature. One of the widespread use of bitumen is in the pavement design and construction. There are mainly two stages of mix design in bringing a bituminous pavement: Dry Mix Design Wet Mix Design […]
bitumen, fillers, and aggregates were determined, while in the second stage, the optimum asphalt content for each mixture was determined according to the Marshall Mix Design Method, and in the third stage the suitability of the brick dust was evaluated. 2.1 Asphalt Binder
The objective of Mix Design Method is to determine the amount of various sizes of mineral aggregates to use to get a mix of maximum density or, determines the optimum bitumen content. Two (02) types of mix design are used in the
Asphalt bitumen has to have a 60 to 70 mm/100 penetration. Additionally, the bitumen viscosity - temperature curve was generated in order to determine the optimal temperatures, for both, mixing and placing. According to the standard, the bitumen content must be ±0.3% from the mix design optimum value.

Voids filled with asphalt (VFA) are the void spaces that exist between the aggregate particles in the compacted paving HMA that are filled with binder. VFA is expressed as a percentage of the VMA that contains binder. Including the VFA requirement in a mix design helps prevent the design of HMA with marginally acceptable VMA.
