SHRP-A-379 traducir

Introduction
This volume of the Final Report of the SHRP Asphalt Research Program presents the
specifications, test methods and practices that form the SUPERPAVE ® mix design system.
These specifications, test methods and practices were developed in SHRP contracts A-001,
A-002A, A-003A and A-003B.
The SHRP-developed specifications, test methods and practices contained in this volume are
listed in table 1. Table 2 provides a supplementary list of AASHTO, ASTM, and other test
methods used in the SUPERPAVE* system; the text of these methods and practices are not
included in this volume.
At the end of the SHRP asphalt research program, the methods and practices in table 1 were
provided to the AASHTO Subcommittee on Materials for review and action towards their
ultimate adoption as AASHTO standard methods of test. These methods and practices, while
judged to be substantially accurate, will undergo further changes and revisions as AASHTO
evaluation and adoption proceeds.
