This synthesis will be of interest to pavement designers, construction engineers, maintenance engineers, and others interested in avoiding or limiting moisture damage in asphalt concrete. Information is provided on physical and chemical explanations for moisture damage in asphalt concrete, along with a discussion of current practices and test methods for determining or reducing the susceptibility of various asphalt concrete components and mixtures to such damage. Moisture damage in asphalt concrete is a nationwide problem which often necessitates premature replacement of highway pavement surfaces. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the underlying physical and chemical phenomena responsible for such damage. Current test methods used to determine the susceptibility of asphalt concretes, or their constituents, to moisture damage are described and evaluated. Additionally, current practices for minimizing the potential for moisture damage are examined.

RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED ON SYNTHETIC AGGREGATES FOR HIGHWAY USE. A REVISION IS PRESENTED OF THE RECOMMENDED SYNTHETIC AGGREGATE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION, BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH STUDIES. THIS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE OR SUPPLANT EXISTING REQUIREMENTS FOR SYNTHETIC AGGREGATES IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION, BUT IS OFFERED AS A SUPPLEMENT TO EXISTING AGGREGATE REQUIREMENTS. THE DRY LOOSE UNIT WEIGHT IS USED AS A QUALITY ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE DRY LOOSE WEIGHT DETERMINATION BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH TEX-404-A, EXCEPT THAT THE AGGREGATES SHALL BE TESTED IN AN OVEN-DRY CONDITION. THE SAMPLES SHALL CONSIST OF THE ONE-HALF TO NO. 4 FRACTION AND SHALL HAVE 30-70 PERCENT BY WEIGHT RETAINED ON THE 3/8 INCH SIEVE. EXAMINATION OF THE TEXAS HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT AGGREGATE GRADATION SPECIFICATIONS FOR PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE, SEAL COATS AND HOT MIX ASPHALT PAVEMENTS REVEALS THAT A MAJOR PORTION OF THE AGGREGATE SKELETON WILL BE INCLUDED WITHIN THIS SIZE RANGE. COARSE SYNTHETIC AGGREGATE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO CLASSES AND EACH CLASS IS SUBDIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS OF DESCENDING PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS. THE MAXIMUM UNIT WEIGHT VALUES USED FOR GROUP 1 (55 PCF) WERE TAKEN FROM ASTM DESIGNATION C330-64T. IN ORDER TO DELINEATE GROUP 2 FROM GROUP 1, THE MINIMUM UNIT WEIGHTS FOR GROUP 2 WERE SET AT 55 PCF. THE USE OF THE 35 PCF MINIAL WEIGHT FOR GROUP 1 IS TO ENSUE THAT ONLY STRUCTURAL QUALITY COARSE AGGREGATES WILL BE USED. A TABLE IS PRESENTED SHOWING THE PERMISSIBLE COARSE AGGREGATE GROUP DEFINED FOR EACH HIGHWAY FUNCTION, FROM SURFACE TREATMENT TO BASE MATERIALS.

This synthesis will be of interest to pavement designers, construction engineers, and others interested in economical methods for reconstructing or rehabilitating bituminous pavements. Information is provided on the processes and procedures used by a number of states to recycle asphalt pavements in place without application of heat. Since 1975 a growing number of state highway agencies have reconstructed or rehabilitated asphalt pavements by recycling the old pavement in place. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the processes used for cold in-place recycling, including construction procedures, mix designs, mixture properties, performance, and specifications.

Asphalt is a complex but popular civil engineering material. Design engineers must understand these complexities in order to optimize its use. Whether or not it is used to pave a busy highway, waterproof a rooftop or smooth out an airport runway, Asphalt Materials Science and Technology acquaints engineers with the issues and technologies surrounding the proper selection and uses of asphalts. With this book in hand, researchers and engineering will find a valuable guide to the production, use and environmental aspect of asphalt. Covers the Nomenclature and Terminology for Asphalt including: Performance Graded (PG) Binders, Asphalt Cement (AC), Asphalt-Rubber (A-R) Binder, Asphalt Emulsion and Cutback Asphalt Includes Material Selection Considerations, Testing, and applications Biodegradation of Asphalt and environmental aspects of asphalt use
