5 to 4 cm. Wherein strength safety factors which exceed required values were obtained. It allowed one to assume that the selected constructions meet the requirement for both of the strength criteria. SMA based on slag aggregate with a higher bearing capacity is also evaluated. It is proved by means of the strength safety factor when bending of 1.69 compared to granite rubble based SMA top layer value of 1.59. Wherein as the calculations showed, there are no stresses in pavements that lead to fatigue cracks formation during the pavement life time.

SMA was produced at the asphalt mixing plant in Lipetsk (Russia). In the composition of a mineral mix there are granite screening dust –– 11.4 %, slag rubble of 5…10 mm fraction –– 74 %, mineral powder –– 14.1 %, Viatop cellulose additive 0.5 %, BND 60/90 bitumen over 100 % –– 6.5 %. Test batch volume was 2100 tons.

SMA-15 laying and compacting were performed at 150 оС by a 4 cm layer on a prepared and compacted bottom made of black chippings with the thickness of 10 cm, asphalt treated permeable bases and coarse-graded dense asphalt with the thickness of 8 and 6 cm retrospectively. The total pavement area was 24.000 m2 in 2010.

Implementation economical effect compared to SMA-15 based on granite rubble was achieved by a reduction in slag rubble cost which does not exceed 300 rub/ton compared to granite rubble of 500 rub/ton cost. The asphalt test batch of 2100 tons volume implementation economical effect was 540 000 rub or 22.5 rub/m2. SMA condition observations showed its high bearing capacity and lack of defects. Slag aggregate based SMA-15 implementation within pavements showed its efficiency and durability.

Section Slag aggregate based SMA durability laboratory study

Durability as a property of an organic mineral composite reflects a complex of changes in the strength, deformation and other physical and mechanical asphalt properties under the impact of internal and external factors. It depends on the speed of bitumen membranes aging on SMA aggregate grains surface.

The most important slag based SMA property that determine its durability is the stability of the structure in a changing humidity and temperature. SMA as a porous material is more likely to fail during prolonged moistening and at low temperatures. Its water-resistance depends on the water saturation, swell and water-resistance coefficient (wrc). Slag aggregate based SMA-10 tests results showed that slag rubble by water saturation (3.13 vol.%) meets GOST requirements (1––4 allowed), wrc = 1.03, swelling = 0.015 % (last two parameters are not regulated).

When we determine fatigue durability, there have to be considered real impacts that come into play throughout the operation of a pavement. Thus corresponding to F. V. Rudensky data asphalt testing mode that imitates real work conditions under traffic loads influence a fatigue test by a cycle dynamic bend.

It is known that the larger applied stress is, the more likely a failure is. Therefore at present stress asphalt fatigue is determined by time during which pavement can bear this stress without break. Dynamic fatigue at cyclic loads is determined by a number of cycles that material can withstand before it fails.

The 868 min-1 frequency is the closest to actual operational road conditions. A single load applied on the estimated time of a cycle at this mode is 0.02s approximately. It is consistent with pavement loading mode when a car passes at the speed of 60 km/h. At 0.35 the amplitude cycle number before it fails is 25958. It provides durability. To predict that, SMA samples were tested in an aggressive environment in operational conditions close to actual ones. The total testing time was 360 cycles. Based on these results, the chemical resistance coefficient was determined (Kchr) ≤ 50 %. Every cycle time was 8 hours.

Based on current operation conditions pavement economically optimal life cycle accepting that during this period Kchr should equal c. For the selected operation period, e.g., 10 years, the chemical resistance of a surface is provided when Kchr decreases by no more than 50 % (c = 0.5).

For predicting the durability Kchr is calculated according to a strength loss. The results of the calculations are listed in Table 2. The compressive strength before the test was 3.877 MPa. Kchr values calculation was made by means of the following formula:

where lg Кchr is its logarithm for a current life time , a and b are the constants for a current environment and concrete types.

Optimal composition of SMA with the predicted the durability is no less than 10 years. The strength following the test remains sufficiently high and Kchr ≥ 0.5.

The required correlation between Kchr and the accepted operation period is

lgКchr = 0.243 – 0.1164 lg .

If it is advised that economically asphalt pavement period is to be used for = 10 years (3600 days), then for the optimal composition we have:

lgКchr. = 0.243 – 0.1164 lg = 0.243 – 0.1164 lg 3600 = –0.1709536.

Hence Кchr = 0.6746. Here we obtain: 0,6746 > (1 – 0,5) = 0.5.

Therefore based on the optimal composition of SMA made of slag aggregate experiments results operation by durability prediction will be no less than 10 years. The tested slag aggregate based SMA survived a series of durability tests in an aggressive environment in the conditions more challenging than the actual ones.

Conclusions

1.Domestic and foreign practice enables the production of a cube-shaped rubble with the use of modern secondary and tertiary crushing machines. It is experimentally determined that the first-group rubble production (with the content of lamellar and needle particles lower than

10%) is considered not effective in terms of energy consumption and by screening dust in quantities of 50 % of the initial mass.

2.SMA based slag rubble has advanced mechanical properties that are equal to those of SMA based on the properties of a granite rubble; SMA temperature related aging leads to its structure hardening and an increase in the mechanical properties due to adhesion.

3.With the use of experiment planning for the OCCP method there are regression equations obtained for the physical, mechanical and deformation properties of a cube-shaped slag based SMA allowing one to determine the correlation between these properties and bitumen, aggregate and modifier content.

4.Based on a prolonged mass, the strength loss and Kchr decrease test results of imitating a pavement operation throughout the year predicted SMA life cycle of no less than 10 years.

5.The calculation of an allowable elastic deflection and stresses that occur under short-term loads influencing the monolith layers with traffic intensity taken into account when pavement top layer has the thickness of 4 cm shows that it is possible to make use of cube-shaped slag based SMA without decrease in the bearing capacity of a pavement.

6. The developed SMA compositions were implemented in actual streets of Lipetsk. Therefore by coarse aggregate in SMA composition compared to granite rubble cost a decrease of only 2100 tons and an economical effect taken into account the resulting expenses is no less than 22.5 rub/m2.

Statement of the problem. Studies of interactions of different technologies and a deformed support base including compacted road construction materials are performed in many ways depending on the issues at hand by a range of institutions and researchers. Therefore developing a generalized dynamic model of the interaction of different compactors with road construction materials based on improving their rheology is essential.

Results. Generalized and specific dynamic models of the interaction of different compactors with road construction materials that are connected in ways determined based on a study of extra elements of the model or neglecting a few due to their irrelevance or no role at all in the process. The physical and mechanical parameter of a compactor that reflects the deformation modulus per a unit of the thickness of a compacted material and considers changes in its deformation based on the use of the theory of hereditary creep of elastic-viscous- and plastic materials is set forth as the major characteristics.

Conclusions. The suggested mathematical model of the interaction of compactors with road construction materials allows their amplitude of oscillations during compaction given the rheological properties of materials and energy power of the investigated processes considering a series of new factors to be determined.

Keywords: road construction materials, compactors, dynamic model.

Introduction

Scientific research commonly makes use of the models with the following classification properties: a method of description, degree of similarity, reproducible properties of the original, physical nature, design method, composition and types of problems at hand. Therefore in order to develop or design a model, it is necessary that there is sufficient research performed into the properties and behavior of a modelled object and knowledge of corresponding phenomena or processes.
