- W4293766295 abstract "The Superior Performing Asphalt Pavements (Superpave) system – comprising asphalt binder grading, mixture design and mixture performance evaluation – has been in existence for nearly 30 years and has been implemented or evaluated for possible adoption in several countries to help address fatigue cracking, rutting and thermal cracking. These asphalt pavement distresses minimize pavement integrity to cause significant increase in maintenance cost, safety risks and roughness. Premature fatigue cracking and rutting failures are common in Ghana. Currently, only the mixture design component of the Superpave system is an option in the country's standard construction specification; asphalt binder selection is based on viscosity grading. Recently, very few projects have utilized Superpave-graded binders, and some of the binder grade selections were problematic. The use of Superpave-graded binders on high-volume roads is anticipated to become a common practice in the foreseeable future. However, there is no road agency guidance document on Superpave binder grade selection in Ghana currently, and this study sought to fill the gap. Such a guidance document will facilitate binder grade selection and streamline binder grade selection practices. This study utilized 42 years (1979–2020) of air temperature data collected from 24 weather stations across the country and measured asphalt pavement temperature to evaluate four existing Superpave binder grade prediction models. The model derived from the Long-Term Pavement Performance program better represented Ghana's climatic conditions and suggested the country may be partitioned into two Superpave binder grade selection zones: the Northern Savannah zone and the Transition/Forest/Coastal zone. At 98% reliability level, a binder grade of PG 70–10 was determined for the northern sector and PG 64–10 for the rest of the country. These are base binder grades (based on weather only) which must be adjusted for traffic conditions at the project site. Research should focus on local model formulation for refined Superpave binder grade selection and, during construction, selected binder grades must be verified through laboratory testing. Proper binder grade selection must be supplemented with effective pavement design, construction, axle load control and maintenance for good pavement performance and longevity." @default.
