SULPHLEX PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS FROM LABORATORY TESTS
New types of energy-saving materials are being developed for use in test sections within the U.S. road network. One of these materials, Sulphex, has recently received a great deal of attention and is being developed as an alternative binder to asphalt and portland cement. Mechanical tests were conducted on specimens of asphalt concrete and Sulphlex 233 mixes. The mechanical tests conducted are those necessary to provide the material characterizations for input to the VESYS structural subsystem. The long-term predicted behavior of Sulphlex pavements was compared with that of conventional asphalt pavements for five different structural designs, on two different subgrades, and for three levels of temperature. A set of design criteria was selected to allow an analysis of the performance of each pavement. (Author)
