Description / Abstract:
This standard practice provides the necessary quality assurance
plan for control, verification, and acceptance of HMA pavement. It
contains requirements for both quality control and acceptance.
This standard practice provides framework for a quality control
plan that establishes minimum requirements and activities for a
contractor's quality control (QC) system related to HMA production
and placement. These requirements include a listing of the
inspections and tests necessary to substantiate material and
product conformance to the specifications. The primary method of
field quality control employs the use of the Superpave gyratory
compactor and evaluation of the volumetric properties of the
mix.
This standard practice also provides framework for a plan that
establishes acceptance requirements for an agency's assessment and
acceptance of an HMA project.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard.
