From page 1...
... 1   The accurate characterization of the in situ aging of asphalt pavement materials over the service life of the pavement is of utmost importance to the implementation of mechanisticempirical (ME) pavement design and analysis methods.
From page 2...
... 2 Long-Term Aging of Asphalt Mixtures for Performance Testing and Prediction: Phase III Results cores from in-service and test track pavements from eight states in the United States and the province of Manitoba in Canada. Although the original NCHRP Project 09-54 deliverables represent significant contributions to the study of asphalt mixture aging, several critical shortcomings have become evident.
From page 3...
... Refinement of Climate- Based Laboratory Aging Procedure Refinement of the Pavement Aging Model (PAM) Development of Procedures to Estimate the PAM Inputs using Standard Binder Aging Methods & PG Development of a Framework to Predict Changes in Asphalt Mixture Performance Due to Oxidative Aging Consider WMA, RAP, & PMA field sections Include replicate field core data for old & new sections Simplify Climatic Aging Index (CAI)
From page 4...
... 4 Long-Term Aging of Asphalt Mixtures for Performance Testing and Prediction: Phase III Results approximations. Lastly, the effects of asphalt binder aging on asphalt mixture cracking performance were investigated systematically to establish a methodology to facilitate the integration of the PAM into pavement performance prediction frameworks.
