Asphalt mix performance is a hot topic since Performance Related Specifications (PRS) are high on the FHWA's priority list for the states. Join us for a trip to the bayou to visit with a state that has experience using the balanced mix design process for approval and has seen first-hand the effects of these designs from production to performance. Barry Nunez and Sam Cooper III, PhD, P.E. will provide perspectives from both the asphalt contractor's and owner's points of view in this discussion.
