Abstract: Radial inhomogeneity is often observed in superpave gyratory compacted specimens because of the rotational movement of the gyratory and the boundary condition imposed by the gyratory mold. The effect of the inhomogeneity ...

Abstract: The inhomogeneity of aggregates in an asphalt concrete pavement can be a primary factor in its deterioration. Statistical tests are useful for judging the extent of inhomogeneity. However, their use requires knowledge of ...

Abstract: With increasing use of modified asphalt binders, the correct compaction temperature range for asphalt mixtures containing these binders needs to be determined. The current procedure uses asphalt binder viscosities to ...
