Abstract
This paper aims to quantify stone loss mitigation due to the action of architected cellular particles that can absorb impact energy. The architected cellular particles presented in this paper are additives for asphalt that have been designed to absorb impact energy through an internal porous structure filled with a bitumen-compatible liquid that controls their strength. The experimental programme is divided into four phases: Cellular particle manufacturing and morphological analysis; optimisation of asphalt mixture performance by selecting the cellular particle content based on mass loss, rutting and skid resistance testing; study of mass loss with varying compaction energy and asphalt gradation and microstructural and energy absorption analysis. It was concluded that (i) the asphalt’s mass loss linearly decreased as the cellular particle content was increased, (ii) up to 1% of architected cellular particle content by total weight of the mixture reduced mass loss without producing adverse effects in the asphalt, (iii) architected cellular particles deformed during testing, absorbing the impact load energy.
