The Effect of Asphalt Supply on Balanced Mix Design

Transportation agencies and the industry in North America are migrating to an approach known as Balanced Mix Design, wherein proposed asphalt mixtures are held to physical property standards based on the results of mixture performance testing. This approach has been used successfully for high-volume roads in Europe for decades.

Transportation Research Circular E-C303: The Effect of Asphalt Supply on Balanced Mix Design, from the Transportation Research Board, compiles presentations made during Workshop 1022 at the 102nd TRB Annual Meeting.
