Test Results

Durability tests of asphalt mixtures, especially those intended for wearing courses, have become commonly used around the world (Hobeda, 2000; Sybilski and Mechowski, 1996). The above-average durability of SMA has been emphasized in numerous publications so they will not be described here. This durability is the result of a high binder content and a thicker binder coating on an aggregate that has the same content of air voids as AC.
