Development in Hot Mix Asphalt in Asia

Paved road construction has become national policies for urgent implementation in Asia. The pavement technologies of Asian countries have been developed based on AASHTO road test and products of SHRP. The level of the technologies is the total strength of asphalt mix supply capability, paving machinery production, paving technology, labor skills, asphalt plant capacity and etc. Large volume of road construction work being daily taken in P.R. China, India and other countries will rapidly accumulate technical expertise and improve actual pavement technology. The increase of traffic volume has been causing serious problems; increase in number of traffic accidents and in traffic noise level in residential areas near to highways and busy streets. The following Japanese technologies regarding the porous asphalt concrete ought to be noted; 1) Cantabro test and steered wheel tracking test in laboratory have been developed to evaluate the raveling resistance of porous asphalt concrete, which is essential at the intersection of busy streets; 2) SBS high-content modified asphalt is widely used to raise resistance of water sensibility and rutting resistance; 3) Dynamic friction tester developed in Japan and now taken as ASTM E1911-98 has been used to measure friction properties of porous asphalt concrete etc. as a function of speed.
