Video: Balanced Mix Design Benchmarking Strategies
Balanced mix design, or BMD, focuses on engineering asphalt mixes that meet a variety of performance specifications. Going beyond traditional volumetric requirements, BMD requires thorough benchmarking strategies to produce satisfactory results.  Benchmarking starts with clearly defined performance standards. These include setting guidelines for resistance to cracking, rutting, fatigue, and moisture damage. Standards should reflect local traffic demands, [...]
