Getting this to

Carry this No this.Without

Too much of This.

The Mix Design GOAL is…

Develop an economical blend of aggregates and asphalt

binder that meet design and functional requirements

Early Mix Design

(1940-1960)

• Dominated by World War II.

• 1950’s Most Prevalent Systems, developed by:

• Francis Hveem

• Bruce Marshall

• Others:

• Hubbard-Field, Smith Triaxial, & Texas Gyratory

SHRP

5 years to boldly go where…

• 1987, United States Congress authorized

the Strategic Highway Research Program

• 1987, Focus on asphalt binder research

• 1990, Expanded to include research on mix

SHRP

• 5-year program (1987-1993)

• $150 million on highway research• Asphalt ($50 million)

• Concrete and construction

• Highway operation

• Long-term pavement performance

And many others….

Airport Configuration

• Airport configuration is defined as the number

and orientation of runways and the location of

the terminal area relative to the runways.

• Number of runways depends on air traffic volume.

• Orientation of runways depends on the direction of

wind, size and shape of the area and land use and

airspace use restrictions in the vicinity of airport.

• The terminal building should be located so as to

provide easy and timely access to runways.
