The Southern Plains Transportation Center invites you to join us for a presentation that will discuss the following essential elements of balanced mix design (BMD): (1) practical performance tests for rutting, cracking, and moisture damage; (2) loose mix aging protocols; and (3) performance acceptance criteria. This webinar will also discuss some practical issues associated with BMD implementation.
