Title: Research Pays Off: Low-Cost and Environment-Friendly Asphalt-Treated Mixtures: Louisiana Tests Designs
Accession Number: 01473752
Record Type: Component
Blurb URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) initiated research to develop a design methodology for asphalt-treated mixtures (ATMs) that would be durable, stable, cost-effective, and environment friendly. ATMs are hot-mix asphalt from crushed rock or natural gravel with paving-grade asphalt cement in low percentages. The mixtures are intended for road shoulders or low-volume roads. Researchers examined eight aggregate sources and two types of asphalt binders and conducted comprehensive laboratory tests to characterize the behavior of the mixture designs. The research findings contributed to the development of a guideline for designing low-cost ATMs.
