Prediction of the marshall stability of reinforced asphalt concrete with steel fiber using fuzzy logic

Abstract

In this study, Marshall Stability (MS) of steel fiber reinforced asphalt concrete has been predicted using steel fiber rate (0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and 2.5%), bitumen content (5%, 5.5% and 6.0%) and unit weights (2,465- 2,515 (gr/cm(3))) by Fuzzy Logic (FL). Results have shown that developed FL model has a strong potential for predicting the MS of asphalt concrete without performing any experimental studies.
