Foreword t the 2008 Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting, the Characteristics of Bituminous Materials Committee sponsored a session on the state of the art in asphalt binder specifications. Leading contributors in this field were invited to present their work as well as more general overviews on specification development addressing the various distresses in asphalt pavements. This circular presents papers covering test methods and specifications for high-temperature permanent

The high-temperature test method and specification discussed in the first two papers have been adopted as standards by AASHTO. The high-temperature test method has also been adopted as a standard by ASTM International. These new test methods and specifications are more closely related to field performance and thus will provide agencies with improved tools to specify liquid asphalt products that will effectively meet their needs.
