Asphalt concrete is primarily used as a structural pavement surface constructed over a subgrade and a subbase. It is designed to support the traffic load and distribute the load over the roadbed. Asphalt concrete pavements can be constructed using hot mix or cold mix asphalt. Hot mix asphalt is a mixture of tine and coarse aggregate with asphalt cement binder that is mixed, placed, and compacted in a heated condition. Cold mix asphalt is a mixture of emulsified asphalt and aggregate, produced, placed, and compacted at ambient air temperature. Cold mix asphalt pavement usually requires an overlay of hot mix asphalt or surface treatment to resist traffic action. 

Asphalt concrete is properly proportioned to resist the potentially damaging effects in the road. Asphalt concrete paving mixtures should be evaluated for the following properties stability, flow, air voids, stripping resistance, resilient modulus, compacted density, and unit weight. Table 4.18 provides a list of standard laboratory tests that are presently used to evaluate the mix design or expected performance of fresh and hardened asphalt concrete.

When a monitoring site is selected, it is important to take account of environmental features. For example, ozone measured in or near automotive traffic can drop to 50% of the areawide value, owing to reaction with the nitric oxide firom exhaust emission. Ozone measured 7.5 m from a large tree in green leaf can drop to 70% of the areawide value, but it may also be reduced within 1 m of shrubs and grass. Paint, asphalt, concrete, dry soil, and dead vegetation are not as reactive and so have less effect. Peak ozone values observed in sunlit windscreened. 

The characteristics of a soil determines the cost-effectiveness of the recycled product. Sandy, silty, and cobble soils are more suitable for recycling into asphalt concrete.
