Abstract

In this study, the usability of expanded glass (EG) in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) as the fine material is investigated. Firstly, standard tests on the EG have been done to determine the basic properties. Next, optimum binder content and aggregate gradation are determined in accordance with Superpave volumetric mix design. The EG is substituted into the HMA as a fine aggregate (in accordance with the original size) in four different rates (25, 50, 75 and 100%). Optimum binder content for each EG ratio is determined. The Superpave gyratory compactor is used for the compaction of the specimens. Prepared specimens have been tested for the indirect tensile strength and tensile strength ratio.
