| Abstract | ||||
| Growing road traffic has created the need of pavement structures which can adapt to this evolution. Concurrently, surfacing techniques have moved in the same direction to ensure user comfort and safety. Also, to resist the high deformation caused by these high loads. Stone-Mastic-Asphalt-mixtures (SMA) have been developed in Germany since 1984, and another mixtures were developed in France. In this investigation, a comparative study was made between SMA and mixtures produced using coarse gradation 3B, according to the specs of RBA . Also, a comparison was made between the two last mixtures and -the most common mixture in Egypt- the dense gradation 4C. It was concluded that the coarse gradation mixtures must be used with additives to increase the Marshall stability and to improve the tensile strength | ||||
