THE EFFECTS OF TESTING AND PRODUCTION PROCEDURES ON MIX DESIGN TECHNIQUES. PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CANADIAN TECHNICAL ASPHALT ASSOCIATION, HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, 1989

Although most agencies rely on the use of standard test methods (AASHOo or ASTM) for the preparation of asphalt mix designs, it has become apparent that many asphalt designers modify the standard methods for their own use. These test modifications can have a very significant effect on the resulting mix. This paper discusses all phases of the mix design process, including batching aggregates, mixing, compaction, maximum density and data analysis. The paper reviews the effects on design results of the raw materials, testing requirements and material handling problems. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 807386.
