Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) is a group of
technologies that allow a reduction in the
temperatures at which asphalt mixes are
produced and placed. These technologies tend
to reduce the viscosity of the asphalt and
provide for the complete coating of aggregates

temperatures lower than typical hot-mix asphalt
(HMA).
This research evaluates various WMA technologies through the Federal
Highway [...]
