REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION OF HIGH-PRESSURE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY TO PAVEMENTS

High-pressure liquid chromatography has been promoted as a technique for determining the molecular size distribution and suggested as a method for determining the composition of asphalt cement. However, some authorities have expressed reservations about the interpretation of data obtained with this technique. The purpose of this paper is to review the data available in the literature to determine the significance of the conclusions that can be drawn from it. The literature indicates that there are several test parameters that must be carefully controlled to ensure interlaboratory comparison of results. The technique does produce consistent and repeatable results, differentiating clearly between asphalt cements from a variety of sources. However, correlation between chromatographs, physical properties, and pavement performance is currently not usable.
