Transportation Research Record 1789 includes a comparative study of laboratory and field performance of several applications of crumb rubber-modified hot-mix asphalt in Louisiana. Other research in the volume focuses on a historical overview (covering 1939-2001) of the challenges of gyratory compaction, a comparison of fundamental and simulative test methods for evaluating permanent deformation of hot-mix asphalt, and the application of digital image correlation method to mechanical testing of asphalt-aggregate mixtures. The papers contained in this volume were among those presented at the 81th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in January 2002. For abstracts of the individual papers see C 28195 - C 28218.
