stone mastic asphalt 0/5 and 0/8 are specially suited for thin layers (ZTV BEA-StB 98). SMA has found use in Europe, Austra This Specification, " Stone Mastic Asphalt for Airfields ", ... proportioned to a design or recipe to produce a dense and impermeable surfacing material. * For the purposes of this document the term ‘asphalt’ is used throughout in the generic sense to refer to the range of mixtures as used in the UK; Asphalt Concrete (AC) Hot Rolled Asphalt (HRA) Stone Mastic Asphalt … Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) is a tough, stable, rut resistant and durable asphalt surfacing mix. Stone Mastic Asphalt is a thin asphalt surfacing mix, which has very good rut resistance properties and excellent durability compared to standard asphalt. Section 4 contains a list of asphalt mixes. section 3 gives guidance on other ancillary processes. 3. Concerns have been raised in both the UK [1] [2] and Australia [3] [4] over the use of Stone mastic as, under certain conditions, it can take up to two years for the material to offer an acceptable level of skid resistance (grip). AGE Get this from a library! Stone mastic asphalt (SMA), also called stone-matrix asphalt, was developed in Germany in the 1960s with the first SMA pavements being placed in 1968 near Kiel. Stone mastic asphalt: design and application guide. It is promoted primarily for use as a surfacing course with relatively high surface texture, low permeability and a high resistance to rutting. ;] This Specification, " Stone Mastic Asphalt for Airfields ", has been devised ... proportioned to a design or recipe to produce a dense and impermeable surfacing material.

IG-4 (Draft), Australian Asphalt Paveme nt Association, Melbourne, Australia. AAPA (1998), Stone Mastic Asphalt Design Guide – AAPA Implementation Guide . Stone Mastic Asphalt may be referred to by the acronym SMA. Stone mastic asphalt may be referred to by the acronym SMA. While it is primarily used for heavily trafficked roads and is the preferred surfacing in some countries, SMA can be used for all types of pavements.
It is promoted primarily for use as a surfacing course with relatively high surface texture, low permeability and a high resistance to rutting. AAPA (2000) Stone Mastic Asphalt Design and Application Guide, AAPA Implementation Guide IG−4. One of stone mastic asphalt's special advantages is that within limits it can be paved in different thicknesses in order to even out a surface without worrying about possible different postcom-paction.
