An active mineral filler produced in the laboratory is first used as an anti-stripping filler in the granite asphalt concrete. Four aggregate gradations were chosen in this study,and the effects of the active mineral filler and aggregates on the rutting resistance performance and fatigue properties of granite asphalt concrete were investigated by means of rutting test and four-point bending fatigue test. The results indicate that the dynamic stability of granite asphalt concrete increase significantly with the addition of active mineral filler and the fatigue properties can also be improved especially at lower strain level. Meanwhile,the results demonstrate that granite asphalt concrete has better rutting resistance performance and fatigue properties than limestone asphalt concrete.展开更多
