How Does Silo Storage Time Affect Pavement …
To evaluate how silo storage time impacts pavement performance, I tested eight different mixes. All mixes were made from the exact same materials, but each spent a different amount of time in silo storage (0 hours, 2.5 hours, 5 hours, and 7.5 hours). These storage times were chosen as they represent typical ranges asphalt mix could
