Inspection & Testing Plan For Asphalt Mixtures During Construction

This document outlines the inspection and testing plan for asphalt mixtures during construction. It provides acceptance criteria for various parameters like temperature of the bituminous mixture, rate of application for prime and tack coats, gradation, binder content, stability, flow, voids, bulk specific gravity, retained stability, VMA, air voids and field density. Testing methods and frequencies are also specified to ensure quality control during construction and compliance with specifications. Parameters will be tested on samples from each truck, layer and at regular intervals to check if the mixtures meet the job mix formula and specifications.
