Guidelines for Improving the Performance of TxDOT Item 334

This test generally showed that the cohesion decreased as density decreased (and asphalt binder decreased) as would be expected Mixtures designed at 95 percent density generally had the best cohesion properties (89 to 95 percent retained) while the mixtures designed at 92 percent density saw a loss in cohesion with values ranging from 75 to 88.

Adhesive and Cohesive Properties of Asphalt-Aggregate
