• Description:
  This study evaluates the basic mixture properties, fatigue potential, rutting or deformation potential of several river sands and blow sands from sources throughout Texas. The mixture characterization evaluates (1) resistance to lateral flow under vertical load by means of the resistance or R value; (2) moisture damage susceptibility as indicated by the percent moisture pick-up following soaking and as indicated by stability loss following vacuum saturation; and (3) air voids content. The Herrin (2) and Chevron (1) criteria for accepting aggregates as candidates for bituminous stabilization were evaluated based on the results of the mixture tests mentioned above as well as resilient modulus, fatigue, and permanent deformation testing.
