INFLUENCE OF ASPHALT TYPE ON PAVEMENT SETTING RATE

THE EFFECTS OF A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TYPES AND GRADES OF PAVING ASPHALT ON MIX SETTING CHARACTERISTICS ARE EXAMINED. THESE ASPHALTS ARE USED IN GOOD AS WELL AS CRITICAL MIXES MADE WITH BOTH ROUNDED GRAVEL AND CRUSHED GRANITE AT LOW AND HIGH FILLER LEVELS. ALL OF THESE VARIABLES ARE EXAMINED UNDER DIFFERENT KINDS AND DEGREES OF FULL-SCALE ROLLING. EXTENSIVE PHYSICAL TESTS AND ANALYSES ARE SHOWN FOR THE ORIGINAL ASPHALTS USED. INSPECTIONS ARE ALSO GIVEN ON THE ASPHALTS RECOVERED FROM THE EXPERIMENTAL PAVEMENTS AS WELL AS ON THIN FILM OVEN RESIDUES. A RELATION IS SHOWN BETWEEN THE VISCOSITY AND THE TEMPERATURE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF RESIDUES AFTER THE THIN FILM OVEN TEST WITH PAVEMENT TOUGHNESS. IT IS PROPOSED THAT SETTING, TO THE EXTENT CONTROLLED BY ASPHALT QUALITY, IS DEPENDENT ON THE INTERACTION OF THE ASPHALT COMPONENTS WITH THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MINERAL SURFACE IN THE MIX. THESE QUALITIES DO NOT APPEAR TO BE WELL DEFINED BY ANY OF THE ASPHALT PROPERTIES REPORTED. THE VARIED RESPONSE BY ASPHALTS TO TYPE AND AMOUNT OF MINERAL SURFACE SUGGESTS THAT A CONCRETE RESEARCH EFFORT IS REQUIRED TO UNDERSTAND AND CONTROL THE INTERACTION OF THE ASPHALT COMPONENTS WITH MINERAL SURFACES. /AUTHOR/
