This report provides a brief summary of the processes that led to the selection of performance-related tests to define asphalt-aggregate interactions that result in fatigue, permanent deformation, thermal cracking, aging, and water sensitivity. Inherent in this test selection process was the emphasis on the ability of the tests to measure fundamental material properties that, when incorporated into prediction models, will depend less on empirical correlations than has been traditionally the case. Also included are the results of validation studies for each of the tests and frameworks for the use of the tests in mix design and analysis. Several levels of design are provided for each distress, some of which incorporate reliability concepts.
Containing 13 papers from the December 2000 conference in Orlando, Florida, this book covers the use of the PURWheel laboratory tracking device, the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer, the identification of aggregate role, the evaluation of sensitivity, fine aggregate angularity, guidelines for the selection
