<strong>LPC</strong> <strong>Bituminous</strong> <strong>Mixtures</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>- - Résumé/Abstract -Abstract<strong>LPC</strong> <strong>Bituminous</strong> <strong>Mixtures</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>Jean-Luc DELORMEChantal de La ROCHELouisette WENDLINGThis <strong>LPC</strong> Mix <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> is intended for road research laboratories assigned todesign bituminous materials mixesThe mix design methodology is based on component characteristics, water-sensitivitytesting, void content assessments using gyratory compaction, resistance topermanent deformation, stiffness and fatigue resistance.Normative requirements by type of test will be summarized in the second part takinginto account the French experience and the European standardization.The part of this report devoted to the actual mix design is based on the experience ofa working group from the <strong>LPC</strong> network and includes recommendations for optimizingmaterial characteristics. Such recommendations are based on practical cases,specific experiments or bibliographical research.Relationships between laboratory characteristics and jobsite characteristics havebeen established from <strong>LPC</strong> studies on structural materials; they serve to correlate adataset of results obtained in the laboratory with another set obtained on the jobsite,with respect to void content, by means of gyratory compaction, rutting resistance,stiffness and fatigue resistance.–15 –
