This report presents the findings of a research task to identify a simple test for confirming key performance characteristics of Superpave volumetric mix designs. In this initial phase of the work, candidate tests for permanent deformation, fatigue cracking, and low-temperature cracking were identified and recommended for field validation in the next phase of work. The report will be of particular interest to materials engineers in state highway agencies, as well as to materials suppliers and paving contractor personnel responsible for design and production of hot mix asphalt.read more

Laboratory Evaluation of Waste Cooking Oil-Based Bioasphalt as an Alternative Binder for Hot Mix Asphalt
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used bio-asphalt as a possible alternative binder to petroleum-based asphalt for hot mix asphalt (HMA) to evaluate both binder and mixture tests, and found that the addition of bio-phalt to the mix reduced the stiffness of the mix and increased the resistance to rutting and fatigue cracking.
