The compaction process causes the asphalt-concrete mix to be compressed and its volume reduced. As the density of the hot-mix asphalt material increases, the air-void content of the mix decreases (they are inversely proportional to each other). Properly designed, a HMA mix should have an air-void content in the range of 3% to 5%.
Learn MoreDurability of Hot-Mix Asphalt Durability of an asphalt mixture refers to the ability of the mixture to retain the original properties. These include the resistance to load and abrasion. Resistance to load can be impaired when: 1. The asphalt becomes hard and brittle and thus cannot withstand strains without fracturing. 2.

Learn Moreproper mix design of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures is a time honored and fairly successful tool. Recent developments in the field of asphalt m~x design have encouraged the use of mixtures with a coarse aggregate structure to resist the affect of heavy traffic loads. By using the equations presented, which account

Learn MoreThe tiers are defined as follows: Tier 1 - The amount of RAP in the HMA mix is equal to or less than 15%. The selected PG grade of the binder should be the same as the Superpave specified PG grade. Tier 2 - The amount of RAP in the HMA mix is more than 15% but equal to or less than 25%. The selected PG grade of the asphalt binder

This new publication details two procedures to improve the precision of hot mix asphalt (HMA) volumetric: 1) Asphalt mix aging at the design lab and at the field lab and 2) Using effective aggregate specific gravity to calculate voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) of plant-produced HMA. 12 pages.
Learn MoreHot mix asphalt is usually sold by the ton and coverage. Most of the asphalt combinations that are commonly used for driveways and parking lots weigh 145 pounds per cubic foot of coverage. However, you can use the above-mentioned formula or an asphalt calculator to find out the amount of asphalt needed for any project.

Learn MoreSeveral minor changes were made to the mix during the course of paving, mostly involving the target binder content of the HMA. At the north end of the project, a scratch coat was placed prior to the HMA lift to provide some addi-tional strength to the non-recycled portion of the project. The asphalt binder used was PG58-28 from Amoco, Davenport.
