Validation of Loose Mix Aging Procedures for Cracking Resistance Evaluation in Balanced Mix Design

A two-phase study is proposed to accomplish the objectives of this project by extensively leveraging the ongoing research efforts and findings at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT), Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI), and University of New Hampshire (UNH). Phase I, which is the scope of this proposal, seeks to: (1) critically review existing studies on the development, evaluation, and validation of candidate loose mix aging procedures; (2) synthesize the existing binder and mixture test results and identify research gaps for further implementation of loose mix aging for BMD; and (3) develop an experimental plan for Phase II.
