IMPROVING THE PRECISION OF TEST METHODS USED IN VMA DETERMINATION (WITH DISCUSSION)

With the goal of increasing the service life of asphalt pavements, the TxDOT task force for revising asphalt-related specifications studied available alternatives for ensuring durability of hot mixed asphalt concrete (HMAC) mixtures. It was decided that the best mixture design criteria to control oxidative aging was VMA. Minimum VMA criteria, applicable at the mixture design stage only, have been proposed for use under new standard specifications being prepared.
