Abstract

The growing mineral production generates gradually higher volumes of solid waste, motivating studies to be carried out to enable the use of this waste in several fields. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the use of iron ore tailings (IOT) from flotation process (which resembles fine sand) in the composition of asphalt mixtures. Asphalt mixtures and fine aggregate matrices (FAMs) were produced with gneiss aggregates and IOT. The asphalt mixtures were evaluated by means of tensile strength test and moisture-induced damage test. The FAMs were subjected to fatigue tests in the dynamic shear rheometer, and fatigue models were built for non-conditioned and moisture-conditioned specimens. The greater adhesiveness of the asphalt binder to the IOT provided greater tensile strength to the asphalt mixtures and increased the fatigue life of the moisture-conditioned FAM specimens. The overall conclusion is that the asphalt mixtures and the FAMs prepared with IOT showed lower moisture susceptibility.
