OBJECTIVE
The objective of this research was to develop procedures and associated criteria for short-term laboratory conditioning of asphalt mixtures for mix design and performance testing to simulate the effects of (1) plant mixing and processing to the point of loading in the transport truck and (2) the initial period of field performance.
STATUS
The Project 09-52 final report is available as NCHRP Report 815.
An Excel® workbook summarizing experimental data measured on binders, mixtures, and cores from the field projects is available to download.
