Abstract:
This paper investigates the influence of Marshall Compaction (50 and 70 blows) on the Stability
and Volumetric Properties of ACW14 asphaltic concrete mixes. The samples were prepared
according Marshall Mix design method. The properties studied were resilient modulus, air
voids, bulk density and stability. The results of this study indicate that 75 compaction yield the
highest Marshall Stability value and lower bitumen content. The study concluded that mixtures
subjected to 75 compaction blows show better performance than the mixtures subjected to 50
blows.
