About this file

This is an HMA Mix Design Submittal form used by the City of Seattle for documenting hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement design specifications in accordance with WSDOT Standard Operating Procedure 732. The form captures critical project identification information including the project name, PW number, project manager, supervising resident engineer, general contractor, and HMA paving contractor. The submittal requires specification of the HMA class (3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, or ATB), design ESALs in millions, and gyration levels (Nini, Ndes, and Nmax). Contractors must provide detailed asphalt binder information including supplier identification, specific gravity, grade, temperature ranges for mixing and compaction, and anti-strip type for both primary and secondary binders, with temperature-viscosity curves required as attachments. The form mandates comprehensive aggregate structure documentation identifying material sources, ratios, and percent passing for each sieve size, with combined gradation reported to the nearest whole percent except for U.S. No. 200 which must be reported to the nearest tenth of a percent, along with a 0.45 power chart showing control points.

The submittal requires complete aggregate test data including specific gravity values for coarse and fine materials, sand equivalency, uncompacted void content, coarse aggregate fracture percentages (minimum 90 percent for specified sieve sizes), and flat and elongated particle percentages (maximum 10 percent). HMA volumetric mix design data must be determined from replicate mixtures compacted to the appropriate Ndes gyration level, with void content (Va), vimble void content (VMA), voids filled with asphalt (VFA), and bulk specific gravity (Gmb) values required at three asphalt binder contents (Pb design ±0.5 percent). The final HMA Mix Design Proposal must target 4.0 percent Va (7 percent for ATB) and include percent Gmm at Nmax (98.0 percent maximum), with maximum 20 percent RAP in the final mix. The certifying engineer must affirm compliance with WSDOT SOP 732, and the City of Seattle Materials Laboratory will respond within 25 working days upon receipt of a complete submittal, with this form integrated into the broader City procurement for roadway construction materials and asphalt services.

Aggregate Structure

In the table below, provide the “Material” identification (3/4”-0, RAP, etc.), “Source” (J-199, E-320, etc.), “Ratio” (45%, 20%, etc.), and the percent passing each sieve for each stockpile used in the mix design as well as the combined gradation and the specification requirements for the class of HMA used. Report all stockpile gradations to the nearest tenth of a percent. Report the combined gradation to the nearest whole percent except the U.S. No. 200, which must be reported to the nearest tenth of a percent. Attach a 0.45 power chart showing the combined gradation with control points for the class of mix submitted.

HMA Mix Design Data

In the Table below, provide the HMA volumetric mix design data determined by performing WSDOT SOP 732. The Va, VMA, VFA, and Gmb values must be determined from replicate mixtures compactd to the appropriate N design gyration level in accordance to Section 8.2 of SOP 732, back calculated values from replicate mixtures compacted to Nmax are not acceptable.

I certify this HMA job-mix formula (JMF) has been developed in accordance to WSDOT Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 732 “Volumetric Design for Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA)”. The HMA JMF has been verified in accordance to section 10 of SOP 732 which consists of preparing replicate mixtures containing the selected design aggregate structure at each of the following binder contents: (1) the estimated design binder content, Pb (design); (2) 0.5 percent below Pb (design); 0.5 percent above Pb (design). I am aware, in accordance to City of Seattle Standard Specification 5-04.3(6)C1, that a response will be provided within 25 Working Days after a complete mix design submittal has been received at the SPU Materials Laboratory in Seattle.
