Texture, Ride Quality, and the Uniformity of Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavements
Two years ago, the author completed a study with researchers at Virginia Tech that was designed to develop a tool to measure and control segregation of hot-mix asphalt pavements. This earlier work focused on the application of high-speed texture measurements and ultimately proposed an approach that would discourage segregation by establishing limits on allowable fluctuation of pavement macrotexture. Rather than emphasize segregation detection and measurement, the proposed special provision promoted new-surface uniformity. The activities discussed in this report represent the next step in the process of understanding the relationship between the uniformity and surface characteristics of hot-mix asphalt. The study documents the typical texture profile for Virginia's most common surface mixes. It revisits the texture-fluctuation provision proposed in the earlier project and delves into an expanded use of elevation profiles for promoting uniformity.
