• Abstract:
  The work reported in this presentation is related to a six-year study of materials, tests, and evaluation of asphaltic concrete in Texas. The investigation of asphaltic mixtures was divided into two main phases. The first was concerned with the evaluation of the materials used in twelve pavements built in different parts of the State and the sampling and rating of these roads. The second phase dealt with special testing and experimentation for the design and evaluation of asphaltic concrete; however, only general findings in this phase are included in this report. The purpose of this study was to advance the knowledge of asphalt paving technology in order to meet the demands for more durable pavements required by the increase of traffic volume and loads and by the decrease of source of good paving materials. This report also contains the initial data collected for a study to investigate the fatigue resistance of pavements in service.
