RES2019-05: Development of a Balanced Mix Design (BMD) Procedure for Tennessee Asphalt Mixtures
The purpose of the project is to: 1) Evaluate the state of the practice for BMD in the context of TDOT, 2) Identify prospective BMD tests for incorporation into the TDOT mix design methodology involving the Superpave Gyratory Compactor, 3) Characterize current TDOT mixtures using prospective BMD tests, 4) Correlate prospective BMD tests with field performance, 5) Select proposed BMD tests from the prospective tests evaluated and based on field performance correlation analysis, 6) Develop reliability-based specification criteria for the proposed BMD tests within the proposed BMD framework, and 7) Develop a BMD based design procedure with implementation strategy.
