  <abstract>The purpose of this study is to understand how the quality of asphalt mixtures can be evalu-  ated using the Superpave Gyratory Compactor. It involves the determination of compaction  indices CDI and TDI, and how do they affect the volumetric properties of asphalt mix design  and the performance of an asphalt pavement. The relevant tests using the SGC were done  according to AASHTO and ASTM standards. The report contains descriptive information  about the testing methods, methods of analysis, results and conclusion. The SGC instead  of the Marshall method was introduced to evaluate the quality of asphalt mixtures, because  SGC not only concentrates on the volumetric properties, but also portrays the performance of  an asphalt pavement as well. Performance of an asphalt pavement is very important, as those  parameters provide a picture of the asphalt pavements ability to withstand distresses such as  rutting, permanent deformation and fatigue cracking. The compaction indices CDI and TDI  showed significant results with changing % AC by weight of aggregates. They also showed  some good correlations with performance parameters at different temperatures and traffic  volumes for two different layers of asphalt namely binder and wearing course. This research  provides extensive information on the idea of compaction indices, how to calculate them and  their role in the mix design of asphalt mixtures and performance of asphalt pavements.</abstract>
