Development of a Master Curve (E*) Database for Lime-Modified Asphaltic Mixtures
Dr. M. W. Witczak and Javed Bari: This study demonstrates that the standard test and design methodologies in the new NCHRP mechanistic-empirical (M-E) pavement design guide entitled, 2002 Design Guide: Design of New & Rehabilitated Pavement Structures, can be used effectively for lime-modified asphalts. Using the new M-E pavement design guide methodologies, hydrated lime was found […] -
Technical Brief on Using New Pavement Design Procedures for Hot Mix Asphalt Mixtures Modified with Hydrated Lime
An overview for highway pavement engineers and managers of a study of whether mechanistic-empirical Design Guide procedures can be used for lime-modified asphalts. The results demonstrate that evaluating asphalt mixtures containing lime will not require any new, separate, or special test protocol or analysis techniques. Mixtures containing lime exhibited an overall 25 percent average increase […]
