Abstract
This paper describes the process chain for a shadow project of the Federal Highway Administration’s Asphalt Mixture Performance-Related Specifications (PRS) by the MaineDOT. Eleven mixture samples were acquired from a field project selected by MaineDOT and were performance-tested for calibration (a ‘four corners’ procedure) and verification to develop the performance-volumetric relationship (PVR) for the selected mixture. The PVR function for the selected mixture worked reasonably well to predict pavement performance at the volumetric conditions that were not included in the PVR development and reflected reasonable trends with regard to various field densities.
