wearing surface4.75 mm NMASSMAengineering benefit-cost analysisThis paper presents the design of stone matrix asphalt (SMA) with 4.75-mm nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) and alternative surfacing cross-section for an asphalt wearing course that may improve pavement performances while controlling ...
1.In asphaltic concrete paving, an intermediate course between the course base and the surfacing material; consists of intermediate-size aggregate bound by bituminous material. 2.A row of masonry units laid between, and used to bind, an inner and an outer wall. ...
Owner’s Note:ATB is not designed to be a permanent surface (wearing) course. A dense graded hot mix asphalt pavement needs to be placed over the ATB as the final step in constructing the permanent pavement. The dense graded HMA will seal the pavement structure, protecting the final paved ...

In order to determine the optimum composition of a hot mix asphalt (HMA) for a wearing course with a nominal maximum aggregate size of 10 mm, asphalt mix design tests were carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Moroccan directive for hot mix asphalt materials[26]. Fig....
While "ProDrive" may be a 6mm wearing course material, not all 6mm wearing course materials will be "ProDrive". Macadams are all based on the principle of an aggregate coated with a binder, usually bitumen, hence "bituminous macadam". Asphalts are a mixture of asphaltic cement or mortar ...

Surface Dressing Road maintenance technique, that involves the restoration of a deteriorating road wearing course, before the main fabric of the road foundations are irreparably destroyed. Tack Coats Provide a thin adhesive film of bitumen between an existing road pavement and overlay, or between co...
(iv) sub-grade course—other terminology includes the names: surface course, intermediate course (sometimes called the binder course), and base course depending on their location within the pavement structure. Asphalt roadways with higher traffic volumes may also include a wearing course composed of ...
HMA mixtures are prepared for wearing course. The nominal maximum aggregate size is selected as 12.5 mm. Table 1 shows the standard aggregate test results. Silica nano powder In this study, silica nano powder (SiO2NP) is used to modify bitumen. Typical properties of SiO2NP is shown in Table...
