Research for AASHTO Standing Committee on Highways. Task 406. Development of a Framework for Balanced Asphalt Mixture Design

The objective of this research was to develop a framework that addresses alternate approaches to devise and implement balanced mix design procedures incorporating performance testing and criteria. The framework shall be presented in the format of an AASHTO specification and recommended practice and shall encompass a wide variety of testing procedures and criteria. The project final report and drafts of the standard specification and practice were submitted to Technical Subcommittee 2d of the AASHTO Committee on Materials and Pavements. The report and draft specification and practice are available at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/docs/NCHRP20-07(406)_Revised_final_report.pdf.
