DEVELOPMENT OF ASPHALT SPECIFICATIONS

FACTORS AFFECTING OR INFLUENCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF PENETRATION AND LIQUID ASPHALT SPECIFICATIONS ARE DISCUSSED. THREE MAIN FACTORS ARE CRUDE SOURCE OR TYPE METHOD OF REFINING, AND PERFORMANCE OF ASPHALT IN A PAVEMENT. EVALUATION OF TESTS TO IDENTIFY DESIRABLE OR UNDESIRABLE CHARACTERISTICS OF ASPHALTS IS DISCUSSED. IN DISCUSSION OF THE MORE COMMON TESTS, THE STATISTICAL VARIABILITY AND DESIRABLE LIMITS OF THE TESTS ARE DISCUSSED. IN CONCLUSION, SOME THOUGHTS ON THE CONTROL OF QUALITY OF ASPHALTS ARE EXPRESSED. /AUTH/
