Abstract:
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) completed the first county highway SUPERPAVE (trademark) project in Minnesota in Blue Earth County during August 1995. This project brought SUPERPAVE (trademark) technology from the laboratory to the field and obtained real Minnesota mix comparisons between the standard Marshall mix design and the new SUPERPAVE (trademark) system; gathered and analyzed data from actual field studies; and demonstrated new equipment and testing procedures to state, county, and city staff. Equipped with a gyratory compactor for on-site testing, the Mn/DOT mobile laboratory provided Level I mix design and production testing on a portion of the 3.5-mile (5.6-km) overlay project. This project used unmodified asphalt binders.
