Lab Evaluation of French High Modulus Asphalt Mixture (EME2) and Preliminary Recommendation of its Application in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper summaries the characteristic of French high modulus asphalt mixture (EME2), does a full set of performance evaluation through French test methods specified in LPC Bituminous Mixtures Design Guide and current test methods in China, and puts forward the preliminary recommendation of French high modulus asphalt mixture (EME2) application in China. It will provide technical reference to help to develop market of the French high modulus asphalt mixture (EME2) application in China and propose a new road building material for the construction of our highway.
