RELATIONSHIP OF AIR VOIDS, LIFT THICKNESS, AND PERMEABILITY IN HOT MIX ASPHALT PAVEMENTS

This report presents recommended guidelines for hot mix asphalt pavement construction to achieve satisfactory levels of in-place air voids and permeability. These guidelines were developed from the findings of a research project that examined the relationship of air voids content to permeability and hot mix asphalt lift thickness. The report will be of particular interest to materials and construction engineers in state highway agencies, as well as to materials supplier and paving contractor personnel responsible for the production and placement of hot mix asphalt.
