The Superpave Asphalt Technology Program is currently engaged in several important projects that extend its leadership position in Superpave research and implementation. Significant projects include research on Toner Modified Asphalt, the Effect of Crushed Aggregate Percent on Performance of HMA Mixtures, the Correlation of Field Performance to
The validity of the Superpave fine aggregate angularity (FAA) requirement is questioned by both the owner agencies and the paving and aggregate industries. The FAA test is based on the assumption that more fractured faces will result in higher void content in the loosely compacted sample; however, this assumption is not always true.
The Superpave system adopted the voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) criteria developed by McLeod using the 75-blow Marshall compactor for conventional dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures. This VMA criteria is a function of only the nominal size of aggregate
Therefore, these properties need to be carefully measured and monitored in HMA production. In the current Superpave system, technicians determine coarse aggregate angularity by manually counting the number of fractured faces (ASTM D 5821) (American Society for Testing

Maximum aggregate size can be defined in two different ways: Maximum aggregate size. The smallest sieve through which 100 percent of the aggregate sample particles pass. Superpave mix design defines the maximum aggregate size as “one sieve larger than the nominal maximum size” (Roberts et al., 1996{{1}}). Nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS).
Therefore, these properties need to be carefully measured and monitored in HMA production. In the current Superpave system, technicians determine coarse aggregate angularity by manually counting the number of fractured faces (ASTM D 5821) (American Society for Testing

The largest use of asphalt cement, or bitumen, is in the production of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) (Roberts, 1996). There are about 4,000 asphalt mix plants in the United States that produce approximately 500 million tons of asphalt mixture per year. The
