The strength and other mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures are directly affected by their size, shape, distribution, and interaction of asphalt concrete particles. Mesoscale performance is important for studying the structure of asphalt mixtures. The random particle model of asphalt concrete is one of the important topics in mesoscale research. On the basis of existing research at home and abroad, based on the asphalt mixture mix ratio, this paper further improves the algorithm of random particle generation, optimizes the algorithm of single-particle generation, ensures that the shape of particles at the time of generation conforms to the engineering practice, and forms a random particle reserve library, in order to improve the efficiency of particle delivery, facilitate the model mesh division, and provide a basis for the smooth progress of mechanical analysis.
