Impact of Asphalt Lift Thickness on Pavement Density and Durability

Summary:

The research team proposes to use this new approach, related to aggregate size and mix compaction and validated in previous research on Superpave 5 mixtures, to design asphalt mixtures that can achieve desired densities, and also desired surface roughness, at higher lift thickness values.
