Comparación de los beneficios de un diseño de mezcla (60-70 y 80-100) con aditivo de humedad del 1% respecto a una mezcla de asfalto estándar (60-70 y 80-100), en Cúcuta Norte de Santander.

Abstract

In this grade requirement work, the comparison of the mechanical properties between a conventional asphalt mixture (60-70 and 80-100) and an improved asphalt mixture (60-70 and 80- 100) with an adhesion additive of Humidity at 1%, to compare the capacities and results of each one of them at the time of being culminated by means of laboratory tests. The Marshall method is used and the tests are made in order to determine if the additive grants some resistance to the mixture, so that in the future it can be proposed to the designs of asphalt mixtures with this class of breeders for To obtain a greater shelf life of the pavement. The description and origin of the stone aggregates and the bituminous material used in this research are briefly covered, as well as all the tests carried out to verify by means of the results if the materials used meet or not with the Specifications required for asphalt mixtures. inally, the results obtained are exposed and interpreted, and in the same way recommendations are made on how to improve the process of modification of the original mixture for future research.
