Segregation of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements has re­ sulted in poor performance in many pavements (1-4). Cur­ rently there is no procedure available for quantifying segre­ gation to determine how much segregation is too much, or, in other words, how much coarser the gradation must be before a reduction in performance is expected.

Aggregate segregation is typically caused by one of 5 main issues: Mix design: Open-graded mixes and low asphalt binder content mixes are particularly prone to segregation. Stockpiling: If aggregate is loaded on …
