THE SUPERPAVE MIX DESIGN MANUAL FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND OVERLAYS
The Superpave mix design system is a comprehensive method of designing paving mixes tailored to the unique performance requirements dictated by the traffic, environment (climate), and structural section at a particular pavement site. It facilitates selecting and combining asphalt binder, aggregate, and any necessary modifier to achieve the required level of pavement performance. This laboratory manual presents Superpave mix design system in a complete, step-by-step format. It is intended for engineers and technicians in public and private organizations to use when designing paving mixes for all classes of highways, from farm-to-market roads to urban freeways. An essential companion to this manual is "The Superpave Mix Design System Manual of Specifications, Test Methods and Practices." The Superpave software program--"The Superpave Specification, Mix Design and Support Program"--and its users manual are also necessary to take full advantage of the mix design system.
