Performance Tests for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Including Fundamental and Empirical Procedures
Mohammed LN
This STP includes peer reviewed papers presented at the ASTM D04 symposium, Performance Tests for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), including Fundamental and Empirical Procedures December of 2003. The symposium provided practitioners with a forum to discuss the development, application, and field experience of both empirically mechanistically based performance test procedures for use in HMA mixture and quality control.
The papers are arranged in four groups:
- (1) Mixture Simulative Performance Tests relates to the practical use of some simulative loaded-wheel testers used in identifying rut-prone HMA mixtures.
- (2) Mechanistic Test for Quality Control includes papers in that the mechanistic tests were used in field Quality Control of HMA mixtures.
- (3) Mechanistic Tests for Mixture Design contains papers relating to the need for mechanistic tests in HMA mixture design.
- (4) Application of New Mechanistic Test Methods in HMA Mixture Performance Evaluation concerns the use of newly developed mechanistic test methods.
