Evaluation of Superpave, Superpave 5, and Stone Matrix Asphalt

This project will determine the most effective mix design protocol(s) to use for asphalt mixtures in Florida for corridors above and below 10 million equivalent single axle loads (ESALs). Cracking and rutting performance will be considered. This project will include mixtures with two aggregate sources, granite and south Florida limestone. Each aggregate source will be studied for both levels of traffic. The project will include two binders, polymer modified PG 76-22 for the lower traffic level and high polymer binder for the higher traffic level. Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) will be included in the lower traffic level mixtures.
