- Correct for slow moving traffic: Move binder one grade higher. For
minimum 50 percent reliability, binder if PG 64-16. For minimum of 98 percent reliability, binder is PG 70-16. - Correct for ESAL > 30 x 108 . Move binder one grade higher. For minimum 50 percent reliability, binder is PG 70-16. for minimum 98 percent reliability, binder is PG 76-16.

1. Select the types of loading. 2. Move horizontally to the high pavement design temperature. 3. Move down the low pavement design temperature. 4. Identify the Binder Grade. 5. ESALS > 107 consider increase of one high temperature grade. ESALS > 3 x 102 increase one high temperature grade.
Example: Standing load, high design temperature Low design temperature = - 25oC Grade = PG 70-28

the nominal maximum size is one sieve larger than the first sieve that retains more
than 10 percent of the aggregate. Five mixture gradations are specified in the Superpave system, as shown in Table 18.18. Maximum density gradation is obtained when the aggregate particles fit together in their densest form. An important characteristic of the 0.45 power plot is that the maximum density gradation for a sample of soil is given by the straight line joining the maximum size and the origin (Figure 18.16).
