This book was released on 1994 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) was a highly focused, ambitious research effort that targeted four specific areas for intense study over the time frame from 1987 to 1993. Asphalt was one of the four study areas. This report describes the Superpave system, the final product of the asphalt research program; and the various parts that comprise its operational characteristics. In all, the final report of the SHRP Asphalt Research Program consists of five parts, the contents of which are briefly described in this report. Reference is made within this report to specific details within the other four parts for readers who want a more detailed description of the methodology, test methods, and theory behind Superpave.

Book excerpt: The 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act (ISTEA) fully supported the implementation of research rsults from the $150M Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). Successful implementation of SHRP by and large will be measured by successful implementation of the asphalt research. In a unique cooperative sprit, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)and the SHRP Project Management Office have worked together developing a plan that assures the research will indeed be implemented. This paper describes important aspects of this partnership and focuses on key elements of the plan. These elements include: i. the large scale procurement and evaluation of new equipment; ii. integration of equipment procurement with national training agenda; iii. integrated activities with standards setting functions of AASHTO; iv. integrated use of other funding sources for followup research and implementation - National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), FHWA Administrative Funds, and Federal-aid Planning and Research Funds; v. the unique role of users-producer groups and technical working groups that represent public and private interests. Finally, the very critical function of Specific Pavement study 9 (SPS-9), Validtion of the SHRP SUPERPAVE and Innovations in Asphalt Pavements, in the continuing refinement of the SUPERPAVE performance modesl and design methods will be discussed. For the covering abstract of this conference, see IRRD number 863140.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents for examination, the hypotheses employed in the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) Asphalt Program. These hypotheses relate to how asphalt properties affect performance; how the interaction of asphalt with aggregate modulates those effects; and how test methods and predictive models may be formulated to truly measure and estimate the influences of material properties on the ultimate performance of asphalt pavements. A principal objective of the research effort in the asphalt contracts is the accelerated validation of the candidate relationships between asphalt binder properties and the performance of asphalt-aggregate mixtures and field pavements. The mechanics of the validation process are also described in the report. The seven main asphalt research contracts are noted, and the important hypotheses and models employed in each of them are discussed. The report also presents the strategy employed to achieve the key products: performance based specifications for asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures, in terms of a graphical time line.

Book excerpt: This report describes the SHRP (Strategic Highwway Research Program) asphalt research program, with emphasis on defining its goals and explaining how the program has been structured to achieve these goals. The methods of data analysis are illustrated, in particular, the rather freeform, intuitive approach employed for interpretation and synthesis to achieve specific products when rigorous mathematical methods are ineffective. The report also serves as a midterm 1990 assessment of the SHRP asphalt research program.
