Abstract
In general, there are needed lots of time and experiments for determination of optimum asphalt content and mix design. The experimental results are highly depended on the skill of testers. Bailey suggested the proper aggregate gradation of hot mix asphalt are a function of special size and passing percent of the specified aggregate to reduce the test errors. In this paper, the asphalt mix designs of 19mm dense graded mix and PA-20mm for FHWA were carried out, using Bailey's method. The use of Bailey method can cut down the testing times to get the proper aggregate gradation for asphalt mix design. In case of 19mm dense graded asphalt mixture, the measured values of CA, $FA_c$, $FA_f$ are 0.724, 0.440, and 0.455, which are within the suggested values by Bailey. Also, in case of PA-20 graded asphalt mixture, the measured values of CA, $FA_c$, $FA_f$ are 0.646, 0.476, and 0.450, respectively.
