Описание
Asphalt pavements are composed of three components: aggregate, asphalt binder, and air. The author identified aggregate gradation, binder content, and air voids content as the fundamental parameters. These factors are interwoven in a mix design; therefore, confounding the designed mixture's performance properties. The author skillfully separated their effects on performance through well-designed experiments and quantified them by using statistical models. Three performances were examined: permanent deformation, tensile cracking, and moisture susceptibility, providing all-around evaluations of the effects of the fundamental parameters. This is a holistic approach-putting 3 parameters and 3 key performances in one picture and avoiding drawbacks of making conclusions from a partial context. Therefore, a true performance of a HMA mixture can be comprehensively evaluated and predicted. The book is suited for students, scholars, and industry practitioners, bringing tremendous insights into...
