Asphalt Binders and Mixtures

Asphalt binders are subsidiary products procured during the refining process of petroleum while manufacturing gasoline, diesel, and similar petroleum products. Asphalt binders are obtained from the residue that remains after the distillation of petroleum, this residue is further subjected to steam distillation and oxidation to remove the traces of gas oil present in the residue. Certain additives or modifiers are also added to asphalt binders to alter them to suit different applications.

A flexible steel platform has a footprint of 75 feet by 75 feet and supports equipment having a total weight of 2,250 kips. The platform is located at the ground surface. The soil profile below the platform consists of 30 feet of stiff clay over bedrock. The groundwater table is located 5 feet below the ground surface. The clay has a unit weight of 120 pcf above the water table and 125 pcf below the water table. Laboratory consolidation test results for a sample of the clay at a depth of 15 feet below the ground surface reveal a preconsolidation stress of 2,400 psf, compression index of 0.5, recompression index of 0.1 and initial void ratio of 0.66.
