Review of State and Industry Reports on Asphalt Properties and Relationship to Pavement Performance

摘要

The report reviews the results of ten studies obtained from State Highway Agencies and industry representatives on the relationships between asphalt binder and mix properties, both physical and chemical, and the field performance of pavements. Four areas of pavement performance were measured in these studies: stripping, low temperature transverse cracking, rutting and bleeding. Some of the quantitative relations go against established norms such as Palsat's equation for the relations between cracks and percent compaction. (Copyright (c) 1993 National Academy of Sciences.)
