Estudio y desarrollo de una base tratada con asfalto 60-70 (mgea-a) combinada con asfaltita proveniente de Armero-Tolima.

Abstract

The present research work is based on the study and development of a base treated with asphalt 60-70 (MGEA-A) combined with asphalt from Armero-Tolima, through which it is proposed to establish an alternative asphalt base that is also more friendly with the environment. Likewise, adding this mineral in the structure of a pavement seeks to improve its physical-mechanical properties to provide greater durability, resistance and quality to the routes at a low cost relative to the materials used on traditional pavements. It is important to note that this process is based on the IDU-422 standard, detailing the granulometric analysis and percentage of asphalt in the asphalt, to later characterize the combination of base aggregates as the asphalt mixture. It should be noted that being a natural material, this element does not have properties already established, where its ability to include within the road structure, will depend on its conformation.
