There are four steps to design a hot mix asphalt, ‘A main feature of the SUPERPAVE design method distinguishing it from the conventional design methods (Marshall and Hveem) is the optimization of the aggregate gradation in the DAS step before the designer searches for the optimum asphalt content in the DAC step. Note.

The selection process is based on the actual conditions of traffic and environment of the project location. SUPERPAVE has chosen four aggregate properties to be considered in the selection of the aggregate and labeled them as consensus aggregate properties. In SUPERPAVE, the aggregate must meet the consensus properties and optionally meet the ageney requirements. Finally select the modifier, in case it is needed, to upgrade the locally available binder to meet the selected binder grade based on traffic and environment for the project location. Carefully follow the modifier producer recommendations for the production of PMA (polymer modified asphalt - PMA). Add Notes and Ask Questions Below: Sixth Edition — June, 2006 SUPERPAVE Workshop - 2005 Page 24 Prepared and Developed by: Advance Engineering Centers=nateens-4e (ALEC) The selection of Design Aggregate Structure (DAS) is a new introduction to the HMA design by SUPERPAVE. Before selecting the Design Asphalt Content (DAC), or the optimum asphalt content as refer to in Marshall Mix design method, the aggregate gradation (or structure) must be selected. Selection of the DAS is the most complex part of the method. To fully understand this part, the designer must place special attention and care, Selection of Design Aggregate Structure will be illustrated by solving manually a design project example, Session 3- Fist Day - SUPERPAVE Overview Add Notes and Ask Questions Below: Sixth Edition — June, 2006 SUPERPAVE Workshop - 2005 Page 25 Prepared and Developed by: Advance Engineering Center danistwes4, (ALEC) Step 3: Selection o jon3-First Day-SUPERPAVE Overview LOA (ie. by selecting the most promising aggregate blend), the Design Asphalt content (DAC) can be selected. Computation in DAC and DAS are similar. Select the DAC at 4.0 air voids and check to confirm that the other volumetric properties and Dust Proportion is within the requirements, Note: Preparation of specimens in DAS and DAC are gyratory compacted to Nye, only not Nona 98%, To protect against maximum densification by traffic, specimens are gyratory compacted at the DAS and DAC to Nrax.

This can be achieved by compacting six specimens using the gyratory compactor for a number of gyrations enough to produce a specimen with 7% air voids (%Gmm = 93); then testing them after conditioning to determine the indirect tensile strength.
