This month on Everyday Asphalt, we’re joined by Gisel Carrasco, MTD Flexible Pavement Section Director, for a deep dive into Balanced Mix Design (BMD)—an approach that is reshaping how asphalt mixes are developed in Texas.
BMD represents a shift from traditional mix design methods, with the goal of creating longer lasting, more durable pavements while allowing room for innovation across the industry.
In this episode, Gisel breaks down:
• The changes BMD is expected to bring
• How long TxDOT has been evaluating the approach
• The next steps in implementation
• What to expect in 2026
If you want to stay ahead of upcoming advancements in asphalt mix design, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
