Hot-Mix Asphalt Paving Handbook 2000


Hot-Mix Asphalt Paving Handbook 2000

Responding to recommendations from industry, government, and academic officials, the first edition of the Hot-Mix Asphalt Paving Handbook was prepared by the Transportation Research Board in 1991 with financial support from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, the National Asphalt Pavement Association, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Although field manuals and handbooks were then available from many sources, none had been adopted by all major industry segments. Since its appearance, the Hot-Mix Asphalt Paving Handbook has been widely accepted as a standard training aid throughout the major segments of the paving industry.

In the 1990s, asphalt paving practices evolved rapidly, and TRB has updated the handbook at the request of its sponsors to address this evolution. This second edition of the handbook addresses recent research findings, including those of the Strategic Highway Research Program, new paving equipment, the growth in recycling, changes in quality control practices, and the introduction of new techniques from Europe and elsewhere.

This second edition is available in both print and CD formats from the following sources:
