Open publisher page 219 citations

Abstract

This textbook can be used for teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). The book should also prove useful to the practicing engineer. The second edition, in addition to the review and modification of each chapter to bring it up to date with the latest technology, includes information on Stone Matrix Asphalt, Superpave performance grade (PG) asphalt binders, Superpave mix design, and asphalt modifiers. The contents are organized in the following chapters: (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.
