Dr. Yetkin Yildirim, Coordinator
Superpave Asphalt Technology Program
The Superpave Asphalt Technology Program is currently engaged in several important projects that extend its leadership position in Superpave research and implementation.
Significant recent projects include research on Toner Modified Asphalt, the Effect of Crushed Aggregate Percent on Performance of HMA Mixtures, the Correlation of Field Performance to Hamburg Wheel-Tracking Results, and a Comparison of Hot Poured Crack Sealant to Emulsified Asphalt Crack Sealant.
The 2002 program was pleased to host three esteemed visiting scholars: Dr. Mehmet S. Culfik and Dr. Sinan Hinislioglu from Turkey, and Andre Smith from South Africa. In addition, a long-term aggregate research project is now underway in collaboration with the Texas Transportation Institute and Texas Tech University.
In keeping with its mission, the program maintains state-of-the-art transportation materials teaching and research facilities. The program laboratory is fully equipped to perform a wide variety of asphalt binder and mixture testing.
