- Abstract
DTFH61-92-C-0098, This manual represents the first formal training document that embodies the complete series of SUPERPAVE asphalt binder test equipment and procedures. These tests and procedures represent the results of the SHRP 5-year research effort to investigate and improve asphalt cement technology. This manual was developed under the FHWA's National Asphalt Training Center. Students attending the center utilize this manual to obtain a better understanding of the underlying theory behind asphalt cement testing, as well as how to perform each of the new procedures.
