TEMPERATURE IN BITUMINOUS MIXTURES, INTRODUCTION

TEMPERATURE IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN ASPHALT PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION. THE EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE MUST BE VIEWED FROM SEVERAL STANDPOINTS: (1) ITS EFFECT ON THE MIX CONSTITUENTS WHICH CHANGES THE VISCOSITY, THE WETTING ENERGY, AND PERHAPS SOME OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE AGGREGATE WHICH AFFECT BOTH THE SPREADING AND ABSORPTION OF THE ASPHALT, (2) ITS EFFECT ON THE MIXING, LAYING AND COMPACTION OPERATIONS AS A RESULT OF THESE CHANGES IN THE PROPERTIES OF THE MIX CONSTITUENTS, AND (3) THE RATE OF TRAFFIC DENSIFICATION. THE DISCUSSION TOPICS ARE PRESENTED: TEMPERATURE OF MATERIALS, EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON MIXING, AND ON COMPACTION.
