DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARD CAN/CGSB-16.3-M ASPHALT CEMENT FOR ROAD PURPOSES. PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CANADIAN TECHNICAL ASPHALT ASSOCIATION, HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, 1989

This paper describes the main issues in the evolution of Canadian asphalt specifications which have culminated in the new Canadian general standards board standard can/cgsb-16.3-m "asphalt cements for road purposes". This specification differs from others in that each penetration range is further subdivided into three viscosity ranges or temperature susceptibility groups. There are two widely accepted techniques in use for quantifying asphalt temperature susceptibility: 1) penetration index (pi) and 2) penetration viscosity number (pvn). Both techniques are presented in an impartial format and a number of ways of using the temperature susceptibility concept in practice are illustrated for asphalt seletion and for various design applications.
