8- Results & Recommendation

The mix design was optimized using four asphalt contents (4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5% AC). The table
below lists the mix properties at the optimum asphalt content chosen (4.8% AC ).
The mixing temperature is 150°C and the compaction temperature range for unmodification binder
is 140 to 90°C. As with any mix, compaction and compaction temperatures should be determined by
roller test patterns and density measurements. These test results apply only to the laboratory
samples as received. Adjustments may be necessary in the plant/field due to raw material
variation, conditions in the plant/field, etc. Mix design tables and graphs are on pages 1 – 5.
