Abstract

In this study, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model has been developed to estimate Marshall Stability (MS) of lightweight asphalt concrete containing expanded clay. In the model, amount of bitumen (%), transition speed of ultrasound (μs), unit weight (gr/cm 3) were used as inputs and Marshall Stability (kg) was used as output. Developed ANN model results and the experimental results were compared and good relationship was found. © 2012 IEEE.
