Review of Overseas Trials of Warm Mix Asphalt Pavements and Current Usage by Austroads Members
  • Publication no: AP-T215-12
  • ISBN: 978-1-921991-57-8
  • Published: 9 November 2012

This report presents a review of field trials of WMA technologies conducted in various countries in the world, with the emphasis on performance differences between WMA and conventional HMA and the identification of field performance data that could be used to complement the Austroads WMA evaluation field trials for Australian road conditions. A number of recommendations are made as a result of the review.
