COAL WASTE AS FILLER IN HOT MIX ASPHALT

ABSTRACT
The research is done to investigate the effect of coal waste powder as filler material in hot mix asphalt. The coal waste after sampling from the coal washing plant it was processed to achieve as filler and after incineration at 750oc the coal waste ash was produced. The main laboratory program consisted of Marshall stability, indirect tensile strength and resilient modulus tests conducted in dry and saturated conditions. After the test, results are compare to the reference mix (i.e. a mix containing limestone powder) the coal waste and its ash resulted in higher stability and resilient modulus. When both the coal waste and lime powder in equal proportion results a mix with high water resistance.Considering the stress–strain curve obtained from indirect tensile strength the toughness index parameter was determined which is an indicator of energy absorbency or material flexibility. All this indicate that the mix asphalt containing coal waste powder exhibit more flexible behavior than reference mix.
