Abstract:

Approximately 94 percent of paved roads in Texas are asphalt pavements. Each year, rehabilitation of existing roads and construction of new roads require about 12 million tons of hot mix asphalt (HMA), which equates to approximately $500,000,000. Since 1970 some highways have experienced a 20 percent annual increase in truck traffic, which equates to a 600 percent increase in the number of equivalent single-axle loads (ESALs). Therefore, small improvements in HMA performance correspond to huge economic benefits.
