摘要

This manual represents the first formal training document that embodies thecomplete series of SUPERPAVE asphalt binder test equipment and procedures. These tests and procedures represent the results of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) 5-year research effort to investigate and improve asphalt cement technology. This manual was developed under the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) National Asphalt Training Center. Students attending the center utilize this manual to obtain a better understanding of the underlying theory behind asphalt cement testing, as well as how to perform each of the new procedures.
