• Abstract:
  In the Superpave hot mix asphalt (HMA) mix design system, gyratory specime ns are compacted to varying levels of initial (Ninitial), ; design (Ndesign) and maximum (Nmaximum) gyrations. Initially, in the Superpave system, specimens were compacted to Nmaximum and ; their volumetric properties back-calculated at Ndesign. However there can be errors in the HMA volumetric properties at Ndesign, as a ; result of the back calculation.
