Abstract:

The findings of a laboratory investigation are reported. The investigation was performed to evaluate the effect of using petroleum coke (with different percentages and degrees of fineness) as an additive to paraffinic-waxy asphalt cement (AC 60/70) produced in Alexandria, Egypt, refineries. Also reported are its physical properties and the engineering properties of its asphalt concrete mixtures. One aggregate type and gradation and one asphalt cement type and grade were used in the study. Marshall and Hveem tests were used to evaluate the properties of the asphalt concrete mixture. The evaluation resulted in a number of significant results. The use of petroleum coke as an additive to Alexandria asphalt cement (AC 60/70) proved to be beneficial in improving its properties. The experiments also indicated that the degree of fineness of the petroleum coke plays a significant role in affecting the degree of improvement.
