The article offers information on optimizaton of cubical shaped aggregate particles during crushing and screening for higher-performing bituminous mixes and pavement. Topics discussed include influence of particle size, shape and texture on the performance and rideability of pavements; impact on shear strength from percentage of crushed and brokensurface; and importance to consider the material being processed and the gradations an operator wants to produce.
