Polish value and 5-cycle magnesium sulfate soundness are the primary quality requirements in current Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) specifications for bituminous coarse aggregate sources in two critical categories - (I) aggregates with high polish value but poor skid performance, and (II) aggregates with low polish value but good performance. This report summarizes the background and deficiencies of the current polish value specification and test procedures.

Two key areas are addressed in this review: (1) a review and upgrade of the Aggregate Quality Monitoring Program (AQMP) and (2) a review and upgrade of the proposed Surface Aggregate Classification System. The assessment of the AQMP includes evaluation of other tests that might be required as replacements and/or supplements for the tests currently used to monitor quality. The study also includes an assessment of the frequency and protocol of testing and suggests changes where necessary.

This is an open access book. MEST2022 invites all potential authors from universities and various organisations to submit papers in the area of mechanical, manufacturing, materials sciences and related interdisciplinary engineering fields. This conference is part of a conference program called International Summit on Science Technology and Humanity (ISETH) 2022 Organized by Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. The 6th Mechanical Engineering, Science and Technology (MEST2022) International conference is an annual the Mechanical Department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta event. All possible writers from universities and other organizations are invited to submit papers. The conference is a forum for academic exchange that provides a prompt presentation of articles on experimental, numerical, and theoretical studies that shed light on the critical topics of mechanical, thermal, fluid, and aerothermodynamics internal flow, heat and mass transfer, multiphase flow, turbulence modelling, combustion, engineering thermodynamics, thermophysical properties of matter, measurement, and visualization techniques. Contributions range from intriguing and significant research immediately applicable to industry development or practice to high-level student textbooks, explanations, distribution of technology, and good practice.
