TRR No. 1171 Asphalt Materials and Mixtures The addition of plastic and latex in certain combinations will increase resistance to rutting while not increasing thermal cracking at low temperatures. these modified pavements offer better resistance to moisture susceptibility than does pavement with no additives. finally, these improvements are highly asphalt source dependent

ASTM STP 662. Recycling of bituminous pavements
The WesTrack Project was a full-scale accelerated pavement testing study designed to evaluate the performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA) under controlled yet realistic traffic loading conditions. The primary objective was to develop and validate performance-related specifications (PRS) that link measurable material properties and construction quality directly to long-term pavement performance. …
