Effect of moisture damage on gapgraded asphalt mixture incorporating electric arc furnace steel slag and copper mine tailings
Oluwasola, Ebenezer Akin1, Mohd Rosli Hainin2, Md. Maniruzzaman A. Aziz3, Suleiman Arafat Yero4.
Water damage is a vital factor affecting the durability of gap-graded asphalt. There is an
urgent need for a pragmatic and reasonable test to evaluate this parameter. Previous
research has proposed that tensile strength ratio is a promising test for this application.
Therefore, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of moisture damage on gapgraded
asphalt mixture incorporating electric arc furnace (EAF) steel slag and copper
mine tailings (CMT). Four material mixtures of eight mix designs were investigated. Each mix
was conditioned in water for 24-hour and 48-hour before testing. The study adopted
retained strength index (RSI), durability index (DI) and tensile strength ratio (TSR) to describe
the durability of gap-graded asphalt incorporating EAF steel slag and copper mine tailings.
The results reveal that all the mixes fulfill the prescribed criteria. Also, there is a strong
correlation between the retained strength index and the durability index with a strong
coefficient of determination, R2 of 0.9543. The results of the study further showed that gapgraded
asphalt mixture incorporating EAF steel slag and copper mine tailings did not seem
to pose any problem
