Detailed Exploration of the Locking Point Concept in Mix Design

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-09-0033
Project Abstract:

One of the most prominent gaps of the Superpave mix design system is the treatment of aggregates.

Goals

The objective of this research is to recommend mix design and performance test practices to increase asphalt mixture durability based on the hypothesis that current Superpave mix design compaction levels are too high and result in lower than optimal asphalt contents.
