This report develops procedures and associated criteria for laboratory conditioning of asphalt mixtures to simulate short-term aging. The report presents proposed changes to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) R 30, Mixture Conditioning of Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA), and a proposed AASHTO practice for conducting plant aging studies. The report will be of immediate interest to materials engineers in state highway agencies and the construction industry with responsibility for design and production of hot and warm mix asphalt.

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 691: Mix Design Practices for Warm-Mix Asphalt explores a mix design method tailored to the unique material properties of warm mix asphalt technologies. Warm mix asphalt (WMA) refers to asphalt concrete mixtures that are produced at temperatures approximately 50°F (28°C) or more cooler than typically used in the production of hot mix asphalt (HMA). The goal of WMA is to produce mixtures with similar strength, durability, and performance characteristics as HMA using substantially reduced production temperatures. There are important environmental and health benefits associated with reduced production temperatures including lower greenhouse gas emissions, lower fuel consumption, and reduced exposure of workers to asphalt fumes. Lower production temperatures can also potentially improve pavement performance by reducing binder aging, providing added time for mixture compaction, and allowing improved compaction during cold weather paving. Appendices to NCHRP Report 691 include the following. Appendices A, B, and D are included in the printed and PDF version of the report. Appendices C and E are available only online.
