Here are some suggestions to troubleshoot problems with taking cores for quality control/quality assurance testing.

Recent study examines VDOT’s revised grading specs for the design of SMA mixes with smaller aggregates and the impact of aggregate morphology on the structural stability of the mix.

Recent advances in laboratory polishing and friction testing now provide a better assessment of friction that considers the entire gradation in an asphalt mixture rather than a single aggregate source.
