The objective of this study was to compare the Superpave mix design to the Marshall mix design on a typical aggregate source in Wyoming. The comparison concentrated on the resistance to rutting and low-temperature cracking of asphalt mixes prepared using the two design methods. Chapter 1 of this report provides an introduction. Chapter 2 contains a literature review related to the Marshal and Hveem mix design methods in addition to the newer Superpave level one mix design method. Chapter 3 describes the design of the experiment including information about the materials used in the study, the Marshall and Superpave level one mix designs, and the accelerated testing devices used in the study. Results from the Marshall and Superpave mix designs are summarized in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 contains the Georgia Loaded Wheel Tester and Thermal Stress Restrained Specimen Tester accelerated testing results on the Marshall and Superpave samples. Conclusions and recommendations based on the study are presented in Chapter 6.

Genre: Transportation
ISBN:

This report summarizes the research devoted to three key aspects of the Superpave Level I mix design: volumetric mix design criteria for aggregates and mixes; compaction; and mix conditioning. The first chapter describes the Delphi group process that was used to select aggregate properties and specification values included in the Level I mix design procedure. Chapter 2 addresses the rationale for the selection of the gyratory compactor, its relations to field control, and validation. The final chapter summarizes the research associated with the development and validation of laboratory conditioning procedures for asphalt concrete mixes. It describes the procedures used to simulate both short- and long-term aging, as well as moisture sensitivity under repeated loading.

The final product of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) Asphalt Research Program is the SUPERPAVE (registered trademark) mix design system for new construction and overlays. This system employs a series of new performance-based specifications, test methods, and practices for material selection, accelerated performance testing, and mix design. This report documents these new specifications and procedures in a format suitable for eventual American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standardization.
