GUIDE TO THE CHARACTERISTICS, PERFORMANCE AND SELECTION OF PAVING ASPHALTS

The Transportation Association of Canada has sponsored the development of a guide to the characteristics, performance and selection of paving asphalts based on the best information currently available on: 1. Canadian climatic conditions; 2. sources and characteristics of asphalts used in Canada; 3. Canadian pavement performance data; 4. current provincial asphalt specifications and test procedures; 5. the likely impacts of the results of the Strategic Highway Research Program asphalt research results; and 6. use of premium and polymer modified asphalts. The User Guide is intended to be used as a supplement to the Canadian Standards Board (CGSB) standard (CAN/CGSB-16.3-M90) and contains step by step procedures with worked examples for the selection of asphalts for any paving project in Canada based on climatic conditions and anticipated traffic levels.
