Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an asphalt mix for a highway in a region with high traffic and cold winters. Consider all three Superpave models in your recommendations of material properties.

💡 Hint: Balance all three aspects based on anticipated environmental conditions.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate a pavement section that has experienced extensive rutting and cracking. Using the Superpave models, explain how you would assess and propose rehabilitations for the section.

💡 Hint: Investigate specific failures and map out a holistic solution based on predictive modeling.
