This study found that, even though more research is needed in the correlation of laboratory mixing with pugmill mixing of hot mix asphalt, repeatability of results in using the Marshall Method can be improved by taking several precautionary measures. The results are highly affected by viscosity of the asphalt and the same condition is seen in pavements. The apparatus is simple, portable and inexpensive and the test method is very practical and rapid. Considering the conditions encountered in the field and necessity of quick measurements, the Marshall Method is certainly a very valuable tool in hot mix design and control.
