Construction of Cast-in-Place Asphalt Mixtures

2013-03-06


  The term "cast-in-place asphalt mixture" literally means "flowing pavement." It refers to asphalt concrete that is poured in a fluid state, eliminating the need for compaction during paving—simply spreading and leveling it suffices to complete the construction. Cast-in-place asphalt concrete is a type of dense-graded asphalt concrete characterized by a high content of fine aggregates, a high proportion of mineral powder, and a relatively high asphalt content. The increased asphalt content keeps the aggregate particles suspended within the mix. Unlike hot-mix asphalt concrete, cast-in-place asphalt concrete has a very low void ratio and its internal voids are discontinuous. As a result, cast-in-place asphalt concrete is impermeable and does not suffer from water damage within the pavement layer. With its higher asphalt content, this type of concrete exhibits excellent resistance to low-temperature cracking while also demonstrating superior waterproof performance, durability, and overall structural integrity.
