Guidelines for Incorporating Aging Effects on Balanced Mix Design for Quality Assurance
Balanced mix design (BMD) of asphalt mixtures is an approach that addresses different modes of distress through mechanical tests on conditioned specimens that consider mix aging, traffic, climate, and location within the pavement structure. However, mix-aging protocols incorporated in BMD are not practical for use in quality assurance where quick results for plant-produced mixtures are required. There is a need to address the challenges of incorporating aging methods and their effects in quality assurance and develop guidelines for incorporating these effects on BMD for quality assurance. Such guidelines should help highway agencies and other organizations with developing quality-assurance programs that incorporate aging effects on BMD. The objective of this research is to develop guidelines for incorporating aging effects on BMD for quality assurance.
