BMD revolves around the concept of balancing rutting and cracking of the mix. The figure below applies to all three different BMD methodologies. Using your own words explain all different components of this figure, how BMD is achieved, and what different tests and parameters are used to assess the asphalt mixes cracking and rutting performance.
