CORRELATION OF SUPERPAVE G*/SIN DELTA WITH RUTTING TEST RESULTS FROM ACCELERATED LOADING FACILITY

In 1992, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) initiated a Superpave validation study by utilizing the Accelerated Loading Facility (ALF) at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in McLean, Virginia. The study focused on the validation of the concepts, tests, and predictive models underlying the Superpave binder specifications and mixture analysis system. Twelve full-scale pavement lanes with 48 test sites were constructed at the FHWA pavement testing facility in 1993. Pavement testing with the ALF started in late spring 1994. The results of accelerated full-scale pavement tests in conjunction with extensive laboratory tests will be used to validate the Superpave binder parameters for rutting and fatigue cracking. Presented in this paper are the results of rutting tests and some of the data analysis completed through June 1997.
