This Transportation Research Record contains 23 papers on the subject of bituminous paving mixtures. The papers are grouped into two parts: (1) bituminous-aggregate combinations to meet surface requirements and (2) bituminous paving mixtures to meet structural requirements. The 2006 series of the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board consists of approximately 820 papers selected from 2,800 submissions after rigorous peer review. The peer review for each paper published in this volume was coordinated by the sponsoring committee acknowledged at the end of the text; members of the sponsoring committees for the papers in this volume are listed on page II. Many of these papers were presented at the 85th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in January 2006. (Author/publisher)
