SHRP ASPHALT BINDER SPECIFICATIONS FOR SAUDI ENVIRONMENT
The conventional classification testing methods for paving asphalt are primarily empirical in nature and do not provide material properties in fundamental engineering units as required for development of performance related specifications. SHRP has developed four new pieces of equipment for conditioning and testing the binder to evaluate its suitability from pavement inservice performance point of view. Saudi asphalt from Ras Tanura Oil Refinery was tested for performance grading using SHRP equipment. Testing results show the performance to be a higher maximum temperature performance grade, such as PG70 or PG76, to provide a greater resistance to permanent deformation.
