The purpose of this report was to research the use of the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) as a tool for evaluating the rutting susceptibility of Minnesota Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) is considering the purchase of an APA. Rutting in an HMA or overlay pavement can occur in any or a combination of the
Learn MoreHot mix recycling of asphalt pavements is increasingly being used as one of the major rehabilitation methods by various highway agencies all over the United States. Besides general savings in costs and energy expended, it also saves our natural resources and environment. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has been constructing recycled hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements routinely for

Learn MoreHot mix asphalt is heated at the production facility to a temperature of 300 to 350 degrees before being shipped and laid at the job site. Hot-mix asphalt cools quickly to allow for quicker installation. What is Hot Mix Asphalt Used For? Hot mix asphalt is most useful for large-scale paving applications like roads, parking lots, and driveways. There are hundreds of thousands of square miles of
Learn MorePLANT MIX PAVEMENTS-GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 401.01 These specifications include general requirements that are applicable to all types of hot mix asphalts irrespective of gradation of aggregate, kind and quantity of asphalt cement, or pavement use. Deviations from these general requirements will be indicated in the specific requirements for each type. This work consists of one or more courses of

Learn MoreThis study, conducted over a 5-year period (2012-2017), evaluated the performance of experimental hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures used in 12 different road pavement projects around Massachusetts. The 12 projects selected by MassDOT staff for this evaluation each involved new pavement technologies or new specifications. These technologies and specifications were tried for a variety of reasons

In particular, the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) as an end-of-life
Learn MoreMoisture damage has been one of the major concerns for hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. In the present study, efforts have been made to evaluate the moisture damage of a dense-graded surface HMA mixture using simple performance test (SPT) and Superpave™ indirect tensile test (IDT).
