The hot mix asphalt using statistical pay factor specifications were developed to emphasize quality control during the production and placement of material. Hot mix asphalt acceptance and payment are based on: • The contractor’s fulfillmentof quality-control inspection, sampling, and testing.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO ENSURE PROPER ASPHALT MIX TEMPERATURE during production and placement. Performing a few relatively easy tasks is a simple way to produce mixes within the established temperature parameters.

What is a minimum temperature for asphalt mixes?

Hot-Mix Asphalt Paving Handbook . is to describe the production and placement of asphalt mixtures from a practical point of view. The handbook has been prepared for those actively involved in the con­ struction of asphalt pavements. The intended audience comprises two different groups that share a common in­

The production of asphalt requires quality materials, careful monitoring, and attentive placement practices. The first step in achieving a quality pavement is taking special care to make the highest caliber of mix.

of Warm-Mix Asphalt is how the the asphalt mixture is produced and placed at lower temperatures than Hot Mix. Production and placement temperatures of Warm-Mix Asphalt can be reduced 50 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (F) compared to Hot Mix. These lower temperatures not only benefit the

Production methods for wet process high viscosity asphalt-rubber binders (minimum viscosity of 1,500 centipoises (cPs) or 1.5 Pascal-seconds) are essentially the same for both hot mix and spray applications. The primary difference is the importance of coordination of asphalt-rubber and hot mix production to assure that enough asphalt-rubber binder

Asphalt rubber hot mix has been used for many years and has proven to be very cost-effective. However, asphalt rubber hot mix requires a higher mix temperature during placement in order to obtain adequate compaction, which results in higher energy requirements during production. Sometimes there is also more visible smoke evident during placement.

Asphalt Mix Production and Manufacturing. B & S Contracting not only designs, grades and paves, we also manufacture asphalt. We provide contractors like you with the asphalt mix and assistance you need to create long-lasting, sustainable asphalt pavement.

Oct 02, 2014 · Understanding that compaction is directly related to the mix temperature, it’s necessary to maintain a high mix temperature during production, transportation and placement of the hot-mix asphalt.

on the roadway during placement of the asphalt. The technicians shall be certified according to ALDOT 374. 4.6.2 The Contractor shall employ an Asphalt Level III Mix Design Technician who will be responsible for the development of all mix designs. 4.6.3 The Contractor shall have present at the production plant, an Asphalt Level I

Asphalt Emulsion Mix (Cold): A mixture of unheated mineral aggregate and emulsified (or cutback) asphalt binder. It can be plant-mixed or mixed in-place. Asphalt Emulsion Mix (Warm): A mixture of asphalt emulsion and mineral aggregate usually prepared in a conventional hot mix asphalt plant at a temperature less than 95°C (200°F). It is ...

Hot mix asphalt may be placed only when weather conditions are favorable. Placing the mix on a cold surface or when the air temperature is low causes the mix to cool too quickly. No mixture may be placed on a frozen subgrade. QC/QA HMA courses of less than 138 lb/yd 2 and SMA

RAP (Recycled Asphalt product) is typically permitted in new surface course asphalt mixes in the amount of 10% (heavy duty mix) or 20% (light or medium duty mix). Intermediate lifts of asphalt typically have aggregate particles ranging up to just under 1-1/2″ and 1″ (medium and light duty) with binder content ranges of 4-9%.

We are a leader in the production and placement of hot mix asphalt in 16 counties in Western Colorado. Our modern asphalt plants set the standard for the production of top-quality hot mix asphalt, warm mix, and cold mix products. Our high quality hot mix asphalt mixes are suitable for every type and size of construction project.

Nov 01, 2015 · WMA (Warm Mix Asphalt) is the name given to a variety of technologies that allow producing asphalt mixtures at lower temperatures (lower temperatures means in general lower than 140 °C) at which the material is mixed, compacted, and placed on the roadways.

Warm Mix Asphalt, as outlined in OPSS 310 - Appendix C, is required when the minimum ambient temperature conditions for paving set out in Section 12.2 of this specification, are not satisfied. All extra costs for the supply and placement of the Warm Mix Asphalt in place of hot mix asphalt are at the contractor’s expense.

The objective of this paper is to assess the efficiency of using a surfactant based additive in the production of warm mix asphalts, by lowering the mixing temperatures of asphalt rubber and ...

(Placement and Compaction of Asphalt Mixtures, 1982) Laboratory and Field Pavement Stability Tests The American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are two agencies which set forth methods and test procedures the paving industry must follow.

This reduction in viscosity offers the advantage of producing asphalt–aggregate mixtures at lower mixing and compaction temperatures, and subsequently reducing energy consumption and pollutant emissions during asphalt mix production and placement.
