Problem Current asphalt mixture design procedures
based on volumetrics – no performance check Aggregate gradation, VMA, VFA
Asphalt binder specs provide an idea of performance but not reliable for today’s asphalt mixtures High RAP & RAS mixtures Warm mix asphalt Differences in asphalt plant production and storage
Production issues and binder contamination (storage tank and lines)

Binder Storage Tank Manufacturers
recommend to not drain tanks below heating coils
Therefore, always have residual binder at bottom of tank

Asphalt Lines from Storage Tanks
Leads from storage tank to mixing vessel (drum or pug mill)
Typical length ~ 70 ft Typical ID ~ 4 inches Equates to around 0.2
tons of residual liquid binder in the asphalt lines alone

So, Why Performance-Based Specs?
Tests the “End Result” Combines the interaction of the aggregate,
asphalt binder, and other additives (RAP, WMA, fibers, etc) with the plant production and storage (temperature and time) Current methods looks at the components
separately Shouldn’t material actually on roadway be
tested for performance?

Performance-Based Specs – NJDOT’s Specialty Mixes
These mixtures are designed to help with a specific condition/distress on a pavement in NJ Granted, some mixes may not be appropriate for
other states/regions Performance testing associated with mixture
design phase and plant production phase

Are these mixes designed differently? No – still using Superpave methods and
procedures However, Included mixture performance testing to ensure
mixes are performing at required level(s) Some difference in material selection (i.e. – no
natural sands, different asphalt binders, change in volumetric targets) MAKE SURE TO READ THE SPECIFICATIONS
AHEAD OF TIME! MAKE SURE TO CONTACT MATERIAL/BINDER
SUPPLIERS AHEAD OF TIME!

Today’s roadways, with high traffic and extreme climate conditions, require more than Mill 2”, Pave 2” on typical HMA
Based on performance data (lab and field), along with costs for mixes, these mixes are a “Smart Economic Investment”
Need tools in the toolbox for all situations Have to make sure we use the “Right Mix, On the
Right Road, At the Right Time, for the Right Price”
In Summary: Why NJ Using Performance-Based Mixes?

NJDOT 2011-12 - Objective
Evaluate possible asphalt mixture tests, and their implementation, for use as an end result Quality Assurance test for hot mix asphalt Utilize test results conducted on field cores to
generate criteria Round robin testing with NJDOT for assess
multiple lab variability Specification development and implementation

First Step – NJDOT HRAP HRAP = High Recycled Asphalt Pavement
mixtures Specification developed in 2012 to help address
industry’s request to utilize more RAP However, NJDOT does not want to use more RAP if
performance suffers RAP known to be more susceptible to cracking
Performance-based specification ensures NJDOT getting performance they want!

trials for 9.5M76 Surface and 12.5M64 Intermediate mix Follows Superpave volumetric requirements NJDOT raised VMA by 1%
Allowed to utilize rejuvenators, WMA, etc. – as long as final product meets performance requirements
Finalized: 9.5M76 (25% RAP); 12.5M64 (35% RAP)
