This document contains the appendixes to NCHRP Report 557, "Aggregate Tests for Hot-Mix Asphalt Mixtures Used in Pavements." NCHRP Report 557 examines performance-based procedures to test aggregates for use in pavements utilizing hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures and provides guidance on using these procedures for evaluating and selecting aggregates for use in specific mixture applications. The appendixes are as follows: (A) Petrographic Analysis Results; (B) Laboratory HMA Mixture Design Results; (C) Aggregate Test; (D) Test Section Construction and Control; (E) Moisture Susceptibility; and (F) Bibliography.

This report provides a brief summary of the processes that led to the selection of performance-related tests to define asphalt-aggregate interactions that result in fatigue, permanent deformation, thermal cracking, aging, and water sensitivity. Inherent in this test selection process was the emphasis on the ability of the tests to measure fundamental material properties that, when incorporated into prediction models, will depend less on empirical correlations than has been traditionally the case. Also included are the results of validation studies for each of the tests and frameworks for the use of the tests in mix design and analysis. Several levels of design are provided for each distress, some of which incorporate reliability concepts.
