Abstract

Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) is a gap graded asphalt mix which has large proportion of coarse aggregate and rich in binder content. The mix exhibits lesser stiffness and rutting value. To improve the rutting characteristics of the mix, basalt fibre was added as a substitute to conventional cellulose fibres in SMA Mix. IRC recommends 0.3% of cellulose fibres in SMA Mix. The results explain that there is a considerable increase in engineering properties with the addition of basalt fibres compared with conventional cellulose fibres of SMA. Marshall Properties, Rutting characteristics, Stripping value and Drain down characteristics were improved when SMA Mix is prepared with basalt fibre.

Keywords

Basalt Fibres, Cellulose Fibres, Marshal Test, Drain Down Test, Rutting Characteristics.
