Aggregate Contribution to Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Performance (ASTM Special Technical Publication, STP 1412) (Astm Special Technical Publication// Stp)

STP 1412 focuses on the effect of aggregate properties on HMA performance and covers a wide range of aggregate characteristics. Valuable information is presented on performance of HMA designed with Superpave protocols and criteria for both mixtures and aggregates.

12 papers address:

Aggregate polishing as a safety concern

Contribution of the mineral aggregate components to rutting resistance

Superpave coarse and fine gradations

Validity of the restricted zone

Maximum aggregate sizes

Amount of dust, particle shape, and coarse and fine aggregate particle angularity.

This book is a valuable resource for everyone in the paving industry that produces, specifies, and uses aggregates.
