• Abstract:
  The first objective of this report is to document SMA mixture design information obtained from Europe. Participants of the September 1990 European Asphalt Study Tour (EAST) recommended that SMA pavement technology be evaluated in the United States. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has the responsibility of evaluating, promoting, and transferring this technology. The second objective is to document SMA mixture design work performed by the FHWA for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). GDOT placed SMA experimental pavement sections on Interstate 85, north of Route 53, in Jackson County, GA, during July and September of 1991. The mixture designs were performed by the FHWA to supplement GDOT's mixture design work.
