SOME FACTS AND OPINIONS ABOUT SPECIFICATIONS FOR ASPHALT CEMENT

The paper is a synthesis of information drawn from published reports as well as unpublished memoranda and committee reports available to the author because of his earlier involvement in the development of specifications for asphalt in the American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It is recognized that there are some of the points discussed. Accordingly, the viewpoints expressed are those of the author, but it is believed that such viewpoints are those that prevailed in the adoption of the various requirements of asphalt specifications as represented by the AASHTO and ASTM. This documentation should prove useful to persons interested in broadening their understanding of the complexities of asphalt cements, and it provides references to previous research that might not be readily available to persons just beginning the study of asphalt technology.
