In the design of asphalt mixtures for paving, the choice of components has a remarkable importance, as requirements of quality and durability must be assured in use, guaranteeing adequate standards of safety and comfort. In this paper, an approach of analysis on the aggregate materials using fractal geometry is proposed. Following an analytical and an experimental approach, it was possible to find a correlation between characteristics of the asphalt concrete (specific gravity and porosity) and the fractal dimension of the aggregate mixtures. The studies revealed that this approach allows to draw the optimal fractal dimension and, consequently, it can be used to choose an appropriate aggregate gradation for the specific application; once the appropriate initial physical parameters are finalized. This fractal approach could be employed for predicting the porosity of mixed asphalt concretes, given as input the fractal characteristics of the aggregate mixtures of the concrete materials.
