History of Superpave: Documenting the Research Program and Implementation Process
The objective of this project was to identify, document, and analyze the research program that developed the Superpave mix design method and the policies and techniques that drove its successful implementation. The effort will address (1) how the research answered the identified needs, (2) the funding strategies, products, training activities, and implementation techniques, and (3) other key issues. The project final report is available as NCHRP Web-Only Document 186: The Superpave Mix Design System: Anatomy of a Research Program.
