Good performance for a highway, like any other product, is satisfaction of the user or customer. Most asphalt pavement users are well satisfied as long as the ride is smooth and the cost is low. The major purpose of this paper is to determine those engineering properties which result in a durable, smooth, low-cost asphalt pavement and to show how they can be controlled to assure continuing satisfaction of the road user. These properties are identified as being those that eliminate or reduce low-temperature cracking, reflection cracking, fatigue cracking, distortion and disintegration. Distortion or structural weakness can be eliminated by increasing the top size of the aggregate in the region of the weakness or increasing the thickness of the pavement depending on the type of distortion. Disintegration is controlled through softening the asphalt, increasing its content and the quality of the aggregate. Cracking is reduced through a combination of the foregoing factors. Proper management of these factors assures long term satisfaction.

"Performance-Related Material Properties of Asphalt Mixture Components (Second Edition)" is a comprehensive compilation of 14 research papers that explore the latest advancements in pavement engineering. This Reprint focuses on the performance-related properties of asphalt mixtures and pavements, offering valuable insights into the factors that influence durability, resilience, and overall pavement quality. The included studies cover a broad range of topics, such as the mechanical behavior of asphalt under different environmental conditions, the effects of innovative materials and modifiers, advanced modeling techniques, and the impact of recycling processes on pavement performance. Together, these papers provide a holistic view of the current state of pavement research, making this Reprint an essential resource for engineers, researchers, and professionals in the field.

This reprint contains the most recent research in pavement engineering, which mainly addresses the performance-related properties of asphalt mixtures. We hope that this reprint is helpful for researchers and pavement industries to generate a better and deeper understanding of pavement materials, pavement construction, and pavement maintenance.

Key objectives of the Strategic Highway Research Project (SHRP) A-003A were to validate properties selected for inclusion in the binder specification and to develop accelerated performance tests (APTs) suitable for predicting pavement performance in terms of fatigue and low temperature cracking as well as permanent deformation. This paper specifically addresses the laboratory tests, measured engineering properties and their relationship to the SHRP binder specification and to performance for both unmodified and modified mixes.

Proceedings of an ACS-PMSE Division Symposium held in Orlando, Florida, August 21-25, 1996

This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in bituminous materials and structures and asphalt pavement technology, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the RILEM International Symposium on Bituminous Materials (ISBM), held in Lyon, France on December 14-16, 2020. The symposium represents a joint effort of three RILEM Technical Committees from Cluster F: 264-RAP “Asphalt Pavement Recycling”, 272-PIM “Phase and Interphase Behaviour of Bituminous Materials”, and 278-CHA “Crack-Healing of Asphalt Pavement Materials”. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning bituminous materials (bitumen, mastics, mixtures) and road, railway and airport pavement structures, including: recycling, phase and interphase behaviour, cracking and healing, modification and innovative materials, durability and environmental aspects, testing and modelling, multi-scale properties, surface characteristics, structure performance, modelling and design, non-destructive testing, back-analysis, and Life Cycle Assessment. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster new multidisciplinary collaborations.
