Crushed Limestone Asphaltic Concrete—75 Blows Compaction ... 

Characterization tests reported here were performed on combinations of materials needed to evaluate the predicted performance of typical pavements made from conventional asphaltic concrete with limestone aggregate, sulfur-asphalt concrete with limestone aggregate, sulfur-asphalt concrete with beach sand aggregate, and recycled asphaltic concrete pavement with sulfur added during the recycling process. The data... 

Asphaltic Concrete. Nine asphaltic concrete mixtures prepared by conventional techniques using the crushed limestone and rounded gravel aggregates were used as a basis for comparison with S-A-S mixtures. The Marshall stability and flow, unit weight, percent air voids, and Hveem stability values for these mixtures with 75 compaction blows are shown in Table V. These data reflect the superior properties inherent... 

For comparison purposes, the published k values of sand, asphalt, limestone, and sulfur are also given in Table VII. On the basis of the range of values for limestone, the experimental result for asphaltic concrete appears reasonable. 

Thermal Expansion. Experimental results obtained from S—A—S mixtures and a conventional asphaltic concrete are also given in Table VII. Published data on asphalt cement, asphaltic concrete sulfur, sand, and limestone are also provided. The overall thermal expansion coefficient of the composite is derived from the combined effects of the individual ingredients in the mixture and the air voids present in the final material. Any combination which tends to decrease the air voids content... 

In many countries, the largest market segment for the sale of limestone is as an aggregate in the construction and building industry. The major uses are in concrete and roadstone (both bound and unbound). Other applications include sand for mortar, rip rap, armourstone for sea defence works, land fill, filter media, pebble dash and roofing gravel. Finely divided limestone is used as an inexpensive filler for asphalt concrete.
