道路工程外文文献翻译---沥青混合料的应用、理论和原则 XX大学 学生毕业设计 外文文献翻译 原文: Asphalt Mixtures-Applications, Theory and Principles 1 . Applications Asphalt materials find wide usage in the construction industry. The use of asphalt as a cementing agent in pavements is the most common of its applications, however, and the one that will be considered here. Asphalt products are used to produce flexible pavements for highways and airports. The term “flexible” is used to distinguish these pavements from those made with Portland cement, which are classified as rigid pavements, that is, having beam strength. This distinction is important because it provides they key to the design approach which must be used for successful flexible pavement structures. The flexible pavement classification may be further broken down into high and low types, the type usually depending on whether a solid or liquid asphalt product is used. The low types of pavement are made with the cutback, or emulsion, liquid products and are very widely used throughout this country. Descriptive terminology has been developed in various sections of the country to the extent that one pavement type may have several names. However, the general process followed in construction is similar for most low-type pavements and can be described as one in which the aggregate and the asphalt product are usually applied to the roadbed separately and there mixed or allowed to mix, forming the pavement. The high type of asphalt pavements is made with asphalt cements of some selected penetration grade. 第1页 共12页 XX大学 学生毕业设计 Fig. ?1 A modern asphalt concrete highway.

They are used when high wheel loads and high volumes of traffic occur and are, therefore, often designed for a particular installation. 2 . Theory of asphalt concrete mix design High types of flexible pavement are constructed by combining an asphalt cement, often in
