This webinar presents findings from the AAPTP Balanced Mix Design study on low-temperature cracking prediction of asphalt mixtures for airfield pavements. The session focuses on approaches for assessing a mixture’s potential for crack initiation and discusses the development of a practical framework for characterizing low-temperature cracking progression. Attendees will gain an understanding of how the proposed methodology differentiates mixtures with varying performance characteristics, how the findings were validated using field data, and considerations for future implementation in practice.

Attendees will be able to:

• Explain the significance of low-temperature cracking in airfield asphalt pavements and the need to consider cracking potential within balanced mix design.
• Describe the methodology for evaluating the low-temperature cracking potential of asphalt mixtures.
• Discuss the factors that influence low-temperature cracking progression and identify opportunities for incorporating low-temperature cracking evaluation into mix design and quality assurance practices.
