AASHTO R 46-08

This standard practice covers the design of Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) using the Superpave (TM) Gyratory Compactor (SGC). The SMA design is based on the volumetric properties of the SMA in terms of air voids (Va), voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA), and the presence of stone-on-stone contact.

This standard was previously designated as AASHTO Provisional Standard PP 41.
