This course provides Hot Mix Asphalt materials engineers and/or materials technicians a better understanding of the Superpave mix design process and analysis. It will also provide a better understanding of volumetrics for those who perform mix designs (typically technicians) and those who analyze the data (typically engineers).
 
This course will cover volumetric analysis and the use of phase diagrams to calculate relevant volumetric properties of an asphalt concrete mixture. Example problems are presented to highlight the key elements. It also introduces the Superpave Hot Mix Asphalt design testing and analysis. We will cover the design criteria, design testing procedures, and design analysis methods, including calculations to analyze the volumetrics of paving samples. This course is an excellent learning tool to assist in understanding corrective actions for volumetric parameters.
