GB5: Eco-friendly alternative to EME2 for long-life and cost-effective base courses

Aggregate packing concepts initially developed in the field of high-performance cement concretes were adapted and transposed to the field of asphalts. These innovative mixes are characterized by single or double gap-graded curves and great coarse aggregate interlock, as well as no need for hard bitumens to obtain the European EME2 specifications requirements, in particular the 14,000 MPa stiffness modulus value at 15°C.
