The performance of asphalt concrete mixtures is influenced by the properties of the included aggregates, such as grading, shape (angularity and elongation), and texture (roughness). Complete and accurate quantification of aggregate properties is essential for understanding their influence on asphalt concrete and for selecting aggregates to produce high-quality paving mixtures. Recent developments in the use of digital image analysis techniques for quantifying aggregate morphological characteristics in asphalt concrete are summarized. Image morphological characteristics were used to quantify flatness and elongation of coarse aggregates, to estimate the proportion of natural sand in fine aggregates, and to correlate aggregate characteristics with engineering properties of asphalt concrete mixtures. Image analysis of sections also revealed information about the grading, shape, and orientation of coarse aggregates in a mixture. An overview is presented of the broad range of useful pavement engineering applications of this relatively new approach for evaluating aggregate characteristics.
