A Manual for Design of Hot-Mix Asphalt with Commentary presents special mixture design considerations and methods used with warm-mix asphalt.

A Manual for Design of Hot-Mix Asphalt with Commentary presents special mixture design considerations and methods used with warm-mix asphalt.

Warm mix asphalt (WMA) refers to asphalt concrete mixtures that are produced at temperatures approximately 50F (28C) or more cooler than typically used in the production of hot mix asphalt (HMA). The goal of WMA is to produce mixtures with similar strength, ...

This report explores mechanistic-based models for predicting the extent and severity of reflection cracking in hot-mix asphalt overlays.

This report explores the existence of a fatigue endurance limit for hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures, the effect of HMA mixture characteristics on the endurance limit, and the potential for the limit's incorporation in structural design methods for flexible ...

Aggregate used in hot mix asphalt (HMA) must be tough and durable, not only to withstand the effects of HMA production, transportation, and construction but also resist the effects of traffic and the environment. The objective of this research was to characterize ...

Aggregates to be utilized in hot mix asphalt (HMA) must be both tough and durable. Aggregates must withstand the effects of HMA production, transportation, and construction. Additionally, once placed on the roadway, aggregates must also resist the effects ...
