• Abstract:
  This manual represents the first formal training document that embodies the complete series of SUPERPAVE asphalt mixture design and analysis test equipment and procedures. These tests and procedures represent the results of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) 5-year research effort to investigate and improve asphalt cement technology. This manual was developed under the Federal Highway Administration's National Asphalt Training Center. Students attending the center use this manual to better understand the underlying theory behind asphalt mixture design and analysis and how to perform each of the new procedures.
