Determinación del Módulo Elástico de Mezclas Asfálticas densas a través del Ensayo de Tracción Indirecta

Abstract

The present research aims to determine the static modulus of dense asphalt mixtures through the indirect tensile test, as well as the incidence of compaction temperature in the preparation of test specimens and the test temperature on the elastic properties of The mixtures. For that purpose, aggregates and asphalt were used in the production plant of the Municipality of Loja located in Carigán. The asphalt is of type AP5, of penetration 60-70 that produces Petrocomercial and the aggregates come from Catamayo and Malacatos. The research begins with the characterization of aggregates and asphalt; Then the design of the mixture is carried out to obtain the optimum percentage of asphalt and finally the briquettes with different compaction temperatures will be elaborated to be tested at different test temperatures in the indirect traction equipment to determine its modulus of elasticity.
