ABSTRACT
HMA is generally fabricated by rst heating the asphalt binder to around 160°C in order to decrease its viscosity and then blending it with heated aggregate. e specications on asphalt binders for pavements are mostly based on this application. Other techniques to manufacture asphalt mixes using asphalt binder emulsions, warm and cold mix technologies, are also available, but they amount to less than 5% of the total asphalt mix production.
