asphalt content of a mix is highly dependent on aggregate characteristics such as gradation and absorptiveness. Aggregate gradation is directly related to optimum asphalt content. The finer the mix gradation, the larger the total surface area of the aggregate and the greater the amount of asphalt required to uniformly coat the particles.

Asphalt, also known as bitumen (UK: / ˈ b ɪ tj ʊ m ɪ n /, US: / b ɪ ˈ tj uː m ə n, b aɪ-/), is a sticky, black, highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum.It may be found in natural deposits or may be a refined product, and is classed as a pitch.Before the 20th century, the term asphaltum was also used. The word is derived from the Ancient Greek ἄσφαλτος ásphaltos.

Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is a generic term that includes many different types of mixtures of aggregate and asphalt cement (binder) produced at elevated temperatures (generally between 300-350ºF) in an asphalt plant. Typically, HMA mixtures are divided into three mixture categories: dense-graded; open-graded; and gap-graded as a function of the ...

All hot mix asphalt facilities operate in the same general manner. Aggregate is heated and dried in a dryer. The hot aggregate is then mixed with the liquid asphalt cement in order to form the final asphalt mixture. Several different methods are used in the production of asphalt; three of these methods are discussed below.
