Session 10: An International Potpourri
• Australian Asphalt Mix Design Procedure, Australia
• Experience with thin and ultra-thin HMA pavements in the United States, USA
Australian Asphalt Mix Design Procedure
Gyratory compaction is used in designFlexural modulus, not resilient modulusCreep slope is sensitive to air voids; not
good assessment of rutting. Wheel-tracking test to be used in future.
Rutting controlled byAir voids of 2.5% at refusal density
(350 gyrations)Wheel tracking results
Session 11: Southern African Overview of World Issues
• Procurement protocol for modified binders
• New hotmix design method for southern Africa
• Development of a product certification system
• Pavement performance evaluation as input to stochastic asset management
Session 12: Progress along the World Highway of the 21st
Century
• Technological developments under long term road maintenance, Australia
• Implications of long term road maintenance contracts for the asphalt industry, South Africa
Closure
• Opportunity to benchmark South Africa internationally
• We saw that South African issues parallel world issues– we are living in a global society
• Next WOAP conference– Jointly with CAPSA?– 2004?– Held in South Africa?
