In asphalt concrete, the shape of aggregate particles affects the durability, workability, shear resistance, tensile strength, stiffness, fatigue response, and optimum binder content of the mixture. Due to their irregularity, the shape of aggregates is not accurately described by Euclidian geometry. However, fractal theory uses the concept offractal dimension, DR, as a way to describe the shape of aggregates. This paper describes a study of the influence of fractal dimension on mechanical properties of asphalt concrete.The flow of asphalt concrete decreases and Marshall Stability increases when the fractal dimension of aggregate increasesKeywords: Fractal dimension, asphalt concrete, Marshall Stability, flow, aggregate1. IntroductionThe importance of the shape of aggregate particles on their mechanical behavior is also well recognized. In asphalt concrete, the shape of aggregate particles affects the durability, workability, shear resistance, tensile strength, stiffness, fatigue response, and optimum binder content of the mixture 1. The successful quantification of aggregate geometric irregularities is essential for understanding their effects on pavementperformance and for selecting aggregates to produce pavements of adequate quality 2. Aggregate morphological characteristics are very complex and cannot be characterized adequately by any single test. As a result, conflicting results have been reported on how aggregate shape influences the quality of HMA mixtures 3-9. Due to their irregularity, the shape of aggregates is not accurately described by Euclidian geometry. Fractals are relatively new mathematical concept for describing the geometry of irregularly shaped objects in terms of frictional numbers rather than integer. The concept of fractals introduced by Mandelbrot 10, which has the shape formed in nature, has been usually analyzed using Euclidian geometry. The key parameter for fractal analysis is the fractal dimension, which is a real noninteger number, differing from themore familiar Euclidean or topological dimension. The fractal dimension for a line of any shape varies between one and two, and for a surface between two and three. Fractaltheory uses the concept of fractal dimension, DR, as a way to describe the shape of aggregates.In recent years, fractal geometry techniques have found widespread applications in many disciplines, including medicine, biology, geography, meteorology, manufacturing, and material science. Relatively, there have been a few applications of fractal geometry in civil engineering. Some studies have been devoted to developing procedures to determine the particle fractal dimensions 11-17. Others have focused on the effect of fractal dimension of aggregate on engineering properties of soils 18, 19 and asphalt concrete20, 21. However, there is no comprehensive study that investigated the effect of aggregate fractal dimension to the Marshall stability, flow, and Marshall Quotient (MQ). Consequently, the present study was undertaken to verify whether there is a relationship between the fractal dimension (DR) and the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete.2. Materials and MethodsThe bitumen used was AC-20 bitumen. Crushed Basalt was used as the aggregatematerial. A typical heavy traffic gradation for hot mix asphalts (HMA), designated as Type I in the Turkish State Highway Specifications, and was selected. The Marshall stability and flow tests were carried out following the procedure of the Test Method for Resistance of Plastic Flow of Bituminous Mixtures Using Marshall Apparatus in ASTM D1559. The imaging system used by the authors consists of a Nikon D80 Camera and Micro 60 mm objective manufactured by Nikon. ImageJ was used as the image analysis program. The other properties of used materials test procedures, imaging system and image processing steps were also detailed in Arasan et al. 22. Additionally, fractal dimension of aggregates was calculated with areaperimeter method 16.3. Correlation between fractal dimension and mechanical propertiesThe correlation between fractal dimension of aggregate and flow, Marshall
