• Abstract:
  An extension to the current Texas mixture design procedure was evaluated. The extended mixture design/analysis procedures addresses: 1) the potential of hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) mixture to permanently deform, 2) flexural fatigue cracking potential, 3) subgrade protection, and 4) thermal cracking potential. The methodology is presented in an "easy-to-use" tabular and design chart format which can be incorporated into a mixture design/analysis sequence. The tests used to characterize mixture material properties are relatively simple and do not necessarily require sophisticated testing equipment the properties required by the extended procedure include: compressive creep compliance, diametral resilient modulus and indirect tensile strength.
