Abstract
There are three major types of asphalt surfacing, characterized by a mixture of bitumen and stone aggregate. These are: Dense Graded asphalt (DGA); Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) and Open Graded Asphalt (OGA). Asphalt surfacing differ by the proportion of different size aggregate, the amount of bitumen added and the presence of other additives and material. The first aim of this study is to provide an updated systematic review of the evaluation of stone mastic asphalt in construction. This paper entitled “Stone Mastic Asphalt.” aims studying Objectives, construction material composition, economy achieving by using waste materials and advantages over the conventional mixes. Accurate quantification of aggregate gradation is essential for a better understanding of its effect on the load-carrying capacity of an asphalt mixture and Volumetric analysis of the aggregate. study investigates the benefits of stabilizing the stone mastic asphalt (SMA) mixture in flexible pavement with shredded waste plastic and use of baggase in the SMA.
