Abstract The present r€search is an initiation to explore the possibilities of application of the statistical qual~ty control techniques 1n the construction of hot-mix asphaltic concrete wee-ring surface for an airport pavement. The ” study also compared the engineering toler~~caB for both aggregate gradation and asphal.t corrten t wi th \’!~lf\-(; may be realistically expected on a ’\oTellcontrolled produotd.cn, Special de3igned ’sampling plan Was doveloped for obt.:?iningunbd ased (random) semp Le s of asphalt mixtures r rom t~le hot-mix plant. This plan ’Was reccmmonded for future routine control. Ninety six extraction tests have beon performed on such sanp Le s and t.hus the corresponding asphalt content and aggregate gradation values for each sanple Was obtained” Pertinent statistical information: were determined from the analysiS of the obtained data. These statistical information” were used in preparing the control charts. Analysi s of data shows that, the natural tolerances for bitumen oontent and aggregate gradation most of the time, were outside the 6ngineering tolerances. This is indi·cating a need for e1ther muchcloser control in plant operation and tp.ater1als un1fo!”lu:l ty, or a revision of the engineering tolerances. Anewproposed set or statiztical toleT~~ces have been determL~edbased on accepted level of s1gni~i~anee of 1-2%.. Extensive utilisation of the statistical methods to evaluate all other characteristics and parameters of asphalt mixture are needed, and studies ”1Ouldbe continued to develop .the complete required data to prep a:::’e Standa:rJ 11 Given control charts for all similar plant |
