Performance Tests for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Including Fundamental and Empirical Procedures
Author: Louay Mohammad | Size: 4.5 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: Mayfield | Year: 2003 | pages: 216 | ISBN: 978-0-8031-3495-9
This volume provides a collection of research and practical papers from an international as well as state agency research and technology activities on the use of performance tests for HMA mixture design and filed control.
The papers are arranged in four groups designed to aid the reader in locating papers of interest and to compare and contrast the range of work and opinions presented:
(1) Mixture Simulative Performance Tests – The first section relates to the practical use of some simulative loaded-wheel testers used in identifying rut-prone HMA mixtures.
(2) Mechanistic Test for Quality Control – The next grouping includes papers in that the mechanistic tests were used in field Quality Control of HMA mixtures.
(3) Mechanistic Tests for Mixture Design – This group contains several papers relating to the need for mechanistic tests in HMA mixture design.
(4) Application of New Mechanistic Test Methods in HMA Mixture Performance Evaluation – The last group of papers concerns the use of newly developed mechanistic test methods, which have potentials to be used in HMA mixture performance evaluation.
While many of the papers might have been placed in several groups, it is hoped that this organization will help the reader understand and use the technology presented and to help Committee D04 in developing the new standards and tests needed to advance the performance evaluation of HMA materials in the asphalt pavement community.
