Comparative evaluation of hot-mix asphalt design methods

This study was done to evaluate superior performing asphalt pavements (Superpave) mixture design using local materials in Malaysia. Comparison was also done with the conventional Marshall method-designed mixture conforming to the specifications of the Malaysia Public Works Department (PWD). The expe...

Local granite aggregates being produced presently were found to conform to the consensus and source aggregate properties criteria of the Superpave mixture design system.
