1.1 Background A serious shortcoming of the Superpave hot mix asphalt (HMA) mix design
method is that it has lacked strength or material response tests that can be correlated to field …

Among the available techniques for pavement maintenance/rehabilitation, recycling of
pavements is becoming more acceptable. It is based on sustainable development, by …

Rutting is defined as the permanent deformations of flexible pavement surfaces under the
wheel paths of traffic loading; as such, it is a very common problem on roads. Rutting can …

Road construction using warm-mix asphalt has been rapidly gaining popularity in the United
States, in part because WMA is believed to be friendlier to the environment as compared to …

A comprehensive study involving rut potential of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) was conducted.
Both cylindrical and beam specimens of HMA were prepared using a Superpave Gyratory …

This investigation was carried out to study the volumetric and mechanical performance
properties of the Superpave mixtures SP-1 and SP-2 and a typical Taiwan mixture (TTM) …

STUDY OBJECTIVES The first objective of the study was to test a variety of conventional and
new materials under similar conditions for fatigue, flexural stiffness, and permanent shear …

This research investigates strength and rutting performance of in-service asphalt pavements
in Manitoba using a form of the indirect tensile strength test. Existing methods to evaluate the …

The application of a mix design procedure developed as part of Strategic Highway Research
Program (SHRP) Project A-003A for a warrantied pavement project in California is …

This synthesis report will be of interest to state, local, and federal agency pavement
materials, design, and construction engineers, as well as pavement research engineers and …
