As a measure of the aging of asphalt concrete mixes in the mixing and placement process, a formula was developed to determine the percentage of expected change in asphalt viscosity at the time of paving (Lund and Wilson, 1984). A value of 30 or higher was used in 1983-84 for acceptance on paving projects. At the conclusion of the 1981-83 study, a f
