Abstract
AbstractAs hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the major paving material worldwide, how the quality of this material is assured is a critical issue. The current quality assurance (QA) practices include testing programs that yield inevitable variability as a result of, e.g., different operators, equipment, and methods. So far, very little research has focused on the variance and testing variability of HMA properties with respect to the material types and climatic conditions that are typical of Alaska. This study presents research to evaluate the variance in composition, volumetric, and mechanical properties between plant-produced and lab-designed mixtures of Alaska HMA, which was produced with various production/compaction scenarios and tested by different operating parties. The variability level of each tested property was quantified, compared with nationwide levels, and tested for influencing factors. This study further evaluated the method proposed in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 9-22 ...
