Simple Performance Tester for Superpave Mix Design: First-Article Development and Evaluation
TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 513 -- Simple Performance Tester for Superpave Mix Design: First-Article Development and Evaluation presents the findings of a research project to develop a practical, economical simple performance tester for use in routine Superpave mix design and possibly in the characterization of hot-mix asphalt materials for pavement structural design. In the phase of the work outlined in this report, first-article simple performance testers procured from two different manufacturers were evaluated, and both units were found to meet the requirements of the performance-based purchase specification.
