Abstract
- Introduction. Transport times of hot asphalt from its production facility to the road section of laying depends of the distance of the asphalt mixing plants location, also in urban conditions it depends from the intensity of traffic flows, the number of traffic jams on the way of the dump truck.Problems. At the present stage, a sharp decrease of road pavement quality and durability occurs due to an increase of the number of heavy vehicles, an increase of axle loads on the pavement and an increase in the speed limit, due to use of outdated technologies that not correspond to the existing loads by their technical characteristics.Purpose. To analyze the modern technology of crushed stone — mastic asphalt transportation in order to determine the shortcomings in its application.Materials and methods. Analysis of information sources, including foreign sources regarding transportation technologiesResults.Possible consequences of non-observance of the correct transportation technology and their elimination have been determined.Conclusions. During the transportation of crushed stone — mastic asphalt mixture, the temperature and fractional segregation (dissection) of the hot mixture occurs. The main factors that cause it are following: ambient temperature, air humidity, wind speed, bulk filling, transport times, pavement flatness during transportation. To prevent the segregation appearance, it is need to increase the loading rate of the dump truck bulk, using heat-insulating elements during transportation (awnings, metal covers, etc.), also as thorough cleaning of the dump truck bulk surface from any residuals of bituminous and other materials before each loading of crushed stone-mastic asphalt.Keywords: crushed stone-mastic asphalt, temperature segregation, transportation technology.
