Synopsis

Containing 13 papers from the December 2000 conference in Orlando, Florida, this book covers the use of the PURWheel laboratory tracking device, the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer, the identification of aggregate role, the evaluation of sensitivity, fine aggregate angularity, guidelines for the selection of aggregate gradations, image analysis techniques, aggregate specific gravity, and polish resistance. Each paper is paired with an abstract. Charts and graphs illustrate the findings. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

About this title

Synopsis

Focuses on the effect of aggregate properties on HMA performance and covers a wide range of aggregate characteristics. Valuable information is presented on performance of HMA designed with superpave protocols and criteria for both mixtures and aggregates. 12 papers address: Aggregate polishing as a safety concern Contribution of the mineral aggregate components to rutting resistance Superpave coarse and fine gradations Validity of the restricted zone Maximum aggregate sizes Amount of dust, particle shape, and coarse and fine aggregate particle angularity.
