The recommended aggregate properties for Superpave hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures include a restricted zone which lies along the maximum density gradation between the intermediate size (either 4.75 or 2.36 mm, depending on the nominal maximum size of the aggregate) and the 300 ?m size; it forms a band through which gradations were not recommended to pass. The restricted zone requirement was adopted to help reduce the incidence of tender or rut-prone HMA mixes. Although recommended as a guideline and not a required specification, the restricted zone is commonly interpreted as being based on experience and appropriate to use, if at all possible, for producing acceptable HMA mixes.
