ASPHALT PROPERTIES AND RELATIONSHIP TO PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE. LITERATURE REVIEW

This is a documentation of the results of a literature review to collect, summarize and analyze information which relates to asphalt properties (chemical and physical) to pavement performance. The report consists of 5 chapters. Chapter 1 idenitifies the sources for the review and the format of the review process. Chapter 2 discusses the selection, sorting and prioritizing criteria used in the literaure search to identify the most promising documents for careful review and analysis. Chapters 3 and 4 provide in-depth reviews of controlled and uncontrolled test road literature, respectively. Chapter 5 summarizes the results of the information reviewed to determine if any consensus exists in the published literature regarding the relationships between asphalt properties and pavement performance. The review attempts to determine those properties of asphalt cement and asphalt concrete mixes which can significantly influence pavement performance with an emphasis on asphalt cement properties.
