HOT MIX ASPHALT SEGREGATION: CAUSES AND CURES (REPRINT) There are a number of potentially damaging problems that can occur in the design, production and placement of hot mix asphalt paving mixtur Of these problems, perhaps the most serious is segregation This report focuses on the causes of segregation and the known potential solutions.

percent may significantly reduce segregation problems When calculating asphalt content, mix designers should keep in mind the aggregate's absorptive capacity, which reduces the asphalt's ability to increase cohesion and reduce segregation Last, differing specific gravities of the aggregates can cause segregation.

the asphalt lifts must be able to properly bond together and moisture can be a hindrance to that bond; puddles overlaid with HMA turn to steam, which may cause stripping (separation of the asphalt binder from the aggregate) - never pave over puddles whether it is raining or not.

Mar 12, 2014· The cause of this type of pavement damage can be numerous and include the following: Loss of bond between aggregate particles and the asphalt binder as a result of: A dust coating on the aggregate particles that forces the asphalt binder to bond with the dust rather than the aggregate Aggregate Segregation.

Excessive moisture causes the binder to expand, which in turn, may also cause the mix to appear and act as though it contains excessive asphalt (6) Segregation : Segregation of the aggregates in the mix may occur during paving because of improper handling or it may have happened at some point prior to the mix reaching the paver.
