Section in the new lanes and the existing lanes. Projects that include an HMA overlay where it is desired to maintain the same pavement cross Composite pavementsĪre constructed by design in some urban areas or during lane widening on PCC rehabilitation The PCC is the primary load-carrying element in composite pavements. Shown in Figure 7-1d, consist of an HMA surface constructed on Portland cement concrete (PCC). The unbound aggregate subbase in deep-strength HMA pavements provides a working platformįor paving, and in some areas, additional thickness for frost protection. The HMA base is the primary load-carrying element in both of these pavement types. HMA pavements, shown in Figure 7-1c, all layers above the prepared subgrade are constructed Relatively thick HMA base constructed on an unbound aggregate subbase, while in full-depth Deep-strength HMA pavements, shown in Figure 7-1b, have a Flexible pavements that carry moderate to high traffic volumes are eitherĭeep-strength or full-depth. Conventional flexible pavements are primarily used on roadways with In this type of pavement, the unbound aggregate base is thick and is the major load-carryingĮlement in the pavement. Conventional flexible pavements, shown inįigure 7-1a, consist of relatively thin layers of HMA constructed over an unbound aggregateīase. Show typical cross sections for asphalt pavements commonly encountered in new constructionĪs shown in Figure 7-1, there are four types of new pavements depending on the type ofīase and the overall thickness of the HMA layers. Each layer has a specificįunction that affects the type of mixture that should be specified and used. Each HMA layer in a pavement is composed of different materialsĪnd is placed in one or more lifts using separate paving operations. Pavements with higher traffic volumes may also include a wearing course composed of OGFC The intermediate course is sometimes called the binder course. Layers are usually referred to as surface, intermediate, and base courses depending on their location Multiple layers or courses of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and other materials. The interested reader should refer to this publication for additional information concerningĪs discussed in Chapter 2, asphalt concrete pavements are engineered structures consisting of The recommendations presented in this chapter largely follow those contained the NationalĪsphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) Publication IS 128, HMA Pavement Mix Type Selection The engineer responsible for a mix design may be asked to suggest a mix type for a given application. Understand the rationale behind the selection of mixtures for specific applications. In a project are usually selected during the design phase, it is important that mixture designers Although the types of mixtures to be used (GGHMA), and open-graded friction course (OGFC). That can be designed using the procedures presented in this manual: dense-graded, gap-graded

This chapter provides recommendations for mixture type selection considering traffic, environ. Tures for intermediate and base courses because they are protected by the layers above them.Ĭareful consideration of mix type is an important factor when staged construction is used,īecause the base or intermediate courses must serve temporarily as the surface during the first Lower binder contents can be used in mix.
