1 Based on the Engineer request, the asphalt mixture performance properties can be
determined.
2 The performance properties of asphalt mixtures shall be measured for every asphalt
concrete layer at least on the following frequencies:
(a) Prior asphalt laying on a laboratory prepared sample at the asphalt binder content
specified in the JMF.
14
(b) Asphalt mix sampled from behind the paver every 10000t of mix.
3 The purpose of the performance testing is to allow for pavement performance evaluation and
20
verification of pavement structural design through the AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical
Pavement Design Guide. Performance models, references, test conditions are shown in table
5.18 below:
