"Resilient modulus indicates the stiffness of a soil under controlled confinement conditions and repeated loading. The test is intended to simulate the stress conditions that occur in the base and subgrade of a pavement system. Resilient modulus has been adopted by the U.S. federal highway administration as the primary performance parameter for pavement design. We thank those who prepared these papers, the reviewers who provided anonymous peer reviews, and those who participated in the symposium. We hope this STP encourages more work to improve the testing standard and the value of the Resilient Modulus test."

The manual is intended to provide information for the quality control of hot-mix asphalt pavements. Although emphasis is placed on the duties and responsibilities of asphalt inspectors, good quality control procedures must also involve other personnel who should understand quality control procedures and efficient plant and paving practices. The manual also details all aspects of hot-mix asphalt pavement construction from the initial acceptance of the aggregate and asphalt to the laying and compaction.

A program has begun in Colorado to prove that HMA pavements can be effectively constructed at intersections and provide significant benefits to the owner. To many highway agencies, performance, construction speed, and cost are the three key issues to consider when rehabilitating or reconstructing high traffic intersections. Therefore, demonstration projects were organized by the Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association (CAPA) to demonstrate performance, construction speed and cost advantages over PCC pavements at high traffic intersections in Colorado. This paper documents the planning, design, and construction processes that were followed to successfully build an HMA pavement at an intersection carrying over 7.7 million 18 kip (8200 kg) ESALs for a 20-year design.
