HOT MIX ASPHALT MATERIALS, MIXTURE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

This book was prepared as a textbook to assist the college professor in providing technical information on Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) to engineering students. It covers most topics important to those who plan to work in the HMA industry and can be used for teaching undergraduate as well as graduate courses. The book is also useful to the practicing engineer who is to some extent involved with HMA. It is organized in nine chapters as follows: (1) Introduction; (2) Asphalt Refining, Uses, and Properties; (3) Aggregates; (4) Hot Mix Asphalt Mixture Design Methodology; (5) Characterization of Asphalt Mixtures; (6) Equipment and Construction; (7) Special Mixtures, Recycling, and Additives; (8) Performance/Distress of HMA; and (9) Maintenance, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction of HMA. An Index is provided.
