Sufficient Asphalt to ensure a durable pavement.
Sufficient mix stability to satisfy the demands of traffic
without distortion or displacement.
Sufficient voids in the total compacted mix to allow for
slight amount of additional compaction under traffic and
slight amount of asphalt expansion due to temperature
Objectives increases without bleeding and loss of stability.
Sufficient workability to permit efficient placement of the
mix without segregation and without sacrificing stability and
performance.
For surface mixes, proper texture and hardness to provide
sufficient skid resistance in unfavorable weather conditions.
