· Abstract: Well gradation in hot mix asphalt (HMA) is as important as in soil. It is measured in density of a material and is the interlocking of particles. The strength of these particulate masses is dependent on it. If the material is strong enough but its gradation is poor, slippage over amongst the particles occurs leading to

 · The density produced during the mix design should not be used as the reference density since the laboratory properties will be somewhat different from test results on plant produced materials.Sometimes aggregates break down during mix production,creating an increase in dust,thus altering the properties of the compacted asphalt mixture.

The normal target in-place density on a "dense" hot-mix asphalt pavement is 92 to 93 percent of Gmm (or 7 to 8 percent air voids). If a pavement has low density (usually …

Segregation of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements has re­ sulted in poor performance in many pavements (1-4). Cur­ rently there is no procedure available for quantifying segre­ gation to determine how much segregation is too much, or, in other words, how much coarser the gradation must be before a reduction in performance is expected.
