Projects: Asphalt Mixture and Binder Fracture Testing for 2008 MnROAD Construction

Topics: Pavement design for cold climates

This report summarizes the results of an experimental effort to characterize the low-temperature behavior of asphalt mixtures and binders from the recently reconstructed cells at the MnROAD facility. In depth analysis of the data was not part of this study; this will be accomplished in several concurrent research projects.
