The Marshall and Superpave methods of pavement design have been developed to address specific challenges in pavement engineering and offer unique approaches to achieving optimal performance. Prof. (Dr.) Dharamveer Singh & Akash Kumar Naik, Ph.D Research Scholar, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Bombay, present a comparative analysis of both in Asphalt Pavement Design.
Introduction
Asphalt pavements are the backbone of modern transportation infrastructure, providing durable and smooth surfaces for roads, highways, and airports. The design of asphalt pavements is a critical process that involves selecting appropriate materials and construction techniques to ensure longevity and performance under varying traffic and environmental conditions. Two prominent methods in pavement design are Marshall method and Superpave method of pavement design. Both methods have been developed to address specific challenges in pavement engineering and offer unique approaches to achieving optimal performance.
