This report presents a practice for the design and analysis of dense- and open-graded large-stone mixes (LSM) and guidelines for the construction of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements incorporating LSM. Though typically used as base layers, LSM can serve as surface layes where rutting (permanent deformation) is a concern. For the purposes of the study, LSM are defined as HMA paving mixes containing maximum aggregate sizes between 25 and 63 mm (1 and 2.5 in.). The report also contains the detailed research results that support the mix design and analysis practice, including an evaluation of the performance of LSM pavements included in the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) general pavement sections (GPS) inventory and a study of the effectiveness of LSM designs using accelerated pavement testing (APT). The report will be of interest to personnel from state highway agencies, paving contractors, and others responsible for the design and construction of asphalt pavements with LSM.
