• Abstract:
  Significant and practical differences in balanced mix design (BMD) test results have been reported in past VTRC research projects between samples or lots of the same mix or between districts and producers. These differences can be attributed to the variability in reheating practices and asphalt mixture composition during production. This study helped quantify the effects of reheating practices and variations in mixture composition on VDOT’s BMD test results, supporting an efficient and yet responsible BMD implementation in Virginia.
