Abstract:

This paper summarizes an effort that evaluated a different methodology for designing asphalt mixtures, called balanced mixture desig. In this design method, the asphalt content is not determined through volumetric analysis. Optimum asphalt content and recommended tolerances are established by the rutting and fatigue cracking performance of the asphalt mixture, thereby balancing asphalt mixture performance. Volumetrics are not ignored, as they provide good guidance that has been historically verified. However, unlike the current Superpave asphalt mixture design, the volumetrics are used as a guide and not the final determining criteria.
