Volumetric Requirements for Superpave Mix Design


Book Description

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 567: Volumetric Requirements for Superpave Mix Design examines whether changes to the recommended Superpave mix design criteria for voids in mineral aggregate, voids filled with asphalt, and air voids content might further enhance the performance and durability of hot-mix asphalt.

The SUPERPAVE Mix Design System Manual of Specifications, Test Methods, and Practices


Book Description

The final product of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) Asphalt Research Program is the SUPERPAVE (registered trademark) mix design system for new construction and overlays. This system employs a series of new performance-based specifications, test methods, and practices for material selection, accelerated performance testing, and mix design. This report documents these new specifications and procedures in a format suitable for eventual American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standardization.







The Superpave Mix Design Manual for New Construction and Overlays


Book Description

This laboratory manual presents Superpave mix design system in a complete, step-by-step format. It is intended for engineers and technicians in public and private organizations to use when designing paving mixes for all classes of highways, from farm-to-market roads to urban freeways. An essential companion to this manual is "The Superpave Mix Design System Manual of Specifications, Test Methods and Practices." The Superpave software program--"The Superpave Specification, Mix Design and Support Program"--And its users manual are also necessary to take full advantage of the mix design system.










Relationship of Air Voids, Lift Thickness, and Permeability in Hot Mix Asphalt Pavements


Book Description

"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 531: Relationship of Air Voids, Lift Thickness, and Permeability in Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavements provides guidance for hot-mix asphalt pavement construction designed to achieve satisfactory levels of in-place air voids and permeability. This guidance was developed from the findings of a research project that examined the relationship of air voids content to permeability and hot-mix asphalt lift thickness. The full finding of the research were published as NCHRP Web Document 68"--Publisher's description.
