Practical Mix Design Guidelines for Reflective Cracking Resistant Mixtures Part 2

The primary objective of this project is to develop simple, but effective guidelines and procedures for designing asphalt mixtures that will adequately mitigate reflective cracking. Detailed objectives of this project are: (1) develop and evaluate asphalt mixtures to effectively mitigate reflective cracking; (2) determine mix design guidelines and procedures for asphalt mixtures that mitigate reflective cracking. The recommendations should be limited to the equipment and testing procedures currently used by qualified asphalt mix designers for Florida Department of Transportation projects. The project will also recommend specification requirements for these mixtures such as appropriate gradation bands, appropriate binder grades, lift thickness, and target density.
