History of Design Air Voids Marshall Mix Design
Set up in late 1940s
Design voids set at 3 to 5%
Marshall Mix Compaction
“Standard” rolling train
Static Steel Wheel
Pneumatic tired
8% will densify under traffic to 4%
“Density at end of life = Design Density”

Superpave Mix Design “Marshall” concept carried forward
Design air voids fixed at 4%
Recommended compaction
Set at 92% Gmm
![Page 5: Illinois Asphalt Pavement Association 78th Annual Meeting](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052106/628744b0c8aadb7563440624/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Superpave5 Concept Benefit
Design at 5% air voids
Compact to 5% (95% Gmm)
Increase VMA by 1%
Increase air voids by 1% 5% instead of 4%
Aggregate specifications stay same
Lift thickness stays same
Asphalt content stays same
Higher in-place density
Lower permeability
Reduced aging (?)
No(?) increase in cost

Superpave5 Concept Requires change in N-design
N-design too high
Difficult to design
Difficult to get compaction
N-design too low
More likely to rut
