Monday, July 31, 2023, AASHTO released the Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing, and AASHTO Provisional Standards, 43rd Edition—2023 (the “Materials Standards”).
PUBLICATION DESCRIPTION
The Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing, and AASHTO Provisional Standards (the "Materials Standards”) contain specifications, recommended practices, and test methods commonly used in the construction of highway facilities. Provisional standards are also published to allow practitioners to use them early in the research or development phase.
In addition to typical revisions to harmonize industry standards, update technology, and generally improve the standards, the 43rd edition includes the following two bundles of provisional standards with related revisions: Three new provisional standards (MP 48, PP 115, PP 116) that address the measurement of pavement macrotexture at highway speeds; and five standards (PP 106, PP 107, PP 108, PP 109, PP 110), published in 2021, that address the assessments of different functions for transverse pavement profilers.
