Effect of Clay Soil from Mbiama on the Mechanical and Moisture Damage Properties of Asphaltic Concrete

Toscanini D S and Nelson A

Abstract

Many studies have shown the damaging effect of moisture on conventional asphalt concrete when submerged in water for a time period under the application of traffic load. This study is aimed at determining the effect of partially replacing the mineral filler portion of the total mix with 2-14% clay, sourced from Mbiama on asphaltic concrete. The Marshall Stability Design Method was used to determine the optimum bitumen content of 5% and to evaluate asphalt concrete properties after soaking durations of 2, 4, and 7 days. The clay used for the study underwent Atterberg Limit Test for classification. The results show that the clay adhered to OL and A-3 in both the USC and AASTHO soil classification systems. The Marshall Stability value for the control sample increased from 8.4 kN to 16.54 kN at 4% clay addition, given a 49% increase in stability over the control sample. Soaked clay modified asphalt concrete samples maintained a significant retained stability across all soaking duration with superior moisture resistance capabilities.
