Current Research:
Performance Balanced Mix Design (BMD) for Indiana’s Asphalt Pavements including :
Evaluate the applicability of different performance tests with Indiana’s mixtures.
Validate prediction performance of performance tests with field projects.
Develop a draft Indiana Testing Method using BMD procedure and propose new balanced specification criteria.
Verify Pavement ME inputs and models using performance results from BMD tests and field sections.
