Current gradation design in Superpave mix design method is an empirical-based trial-and-error method, which is costly and time-consuming. Moreover, few mechanical properties have been evaluated during the mix design to assist the mix optimization. This paper describes a novel aggregate gradation and asphalt mixture design concept that estimates the target gradation and optimum asphalt content at an early stage. Voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) is used as a media to link the properties of aggregates and asphalt binder to their engineering proper...
