Hot-Mix Asphalt Design, Testing, Evaluation, and Performance~Transportationresearch record

摘要

The papers in this volume, which deal with various facets of asphalt concretemixtures, should be of interest to engineers involved in state and local construction, design, materials, maintenance, and research, as well as contractors and materials manufacturers. The effect of compaction, segregation, and coarse aggregate properties on the performance of hot-mix asphalt is addressed. Other topics include the application of digital image processing to a quantitative study of asphalt concrete microstructure, moisture and thermal effects on the performance of hot-mix asphalt, and evaluation of fatigue, rutting, and modulus properties on hot-mix asphalt. A case study on the mix design methodology for a warrantied pavement is presented. The final topic covered is improved performance of hot-mix asphalt through new testing methods.
