REVIEW OF STATE AND INDUSTRY REPORTS ON ASPHALT PROPERTIES AND RELATIONSHIP TO PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE
The report reviews the results of 10 studies on the relationships between asphalt binder and mix properties, both physical and chemical, and the field performance of pavements. A brief description is given of each study, and their results are presented. Four areas of pavement performace were measured in these studies: stripping, low temperature transverse cracking, rutting and bleeding. Some of the quantitative relationships go against established norms such as Palsat's equation for the relationship between cracks and percent compaction. The report makes recommendations on asphalt selection which would decrease the incidence of transverse cracking but concludes that each study did not track similar elements in order to make adequate comparisons.
