Abstract
The increasing world steel production has contributed to the generation of million tons of mining residues. But, the huge demand of aggregates for the execution of pavements and the lack of raw material for this purpose, the research for new materials to be used in this area has become vital. The sandy residue that was studied was collected at Mariana– MG county, which was the result of the iron ore processing of the company Samarco S.A. This research has as objective the evaluation of the mechanical behaviour of asphalt mixtures utilizing residue from the processing of iron ore in substitution of the fine aggregate in the asphalt mixtures of the Asphaltic Concrete type, aiming its use in the rolling layer of a road pavement. To do so, the Marshall dosage of three asphalt mixtures and the mechanical tests characterized by the resilient modulus and fatigue life at a controlled tension were performed. It was also performed the determination of the optimum content by the Superpave dosage method conducted in two of these mixtures to obtain the Compaction Index and the mechanical behaviour by the Flow Number value. Concluded that the residue is compatible with all current standards for the use in asphalt mixtures, being able to be used in the CBUQ rolling layer, showing an improvement in the behaviour compared to the standard mixture.
