TEST METHODS FOR THE BEHAVIOR OF BITUMINOUS BINDERS AT LOW TEMPERATURE

The aim of this study is to evaluate test methods regarding their suitability to replace the Fraass breaking point as prescribed by European standards. To achieve this, a variety of modified and unmodified binders have been investigated at low and intermediate temperatures with the following series of mechanical test methods: Fraass breaking point; Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) according to AASHTO; Direct Tensile test according to prEN; Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) according to AASHTO; Dynamic coaxial shear test for bituminous binders (CAST-BIN); and Dynamic CAST-BIN crack resistance test newly developed by EMPA. Some of these methods can be considered as candidates for standardization, others are pure research tools designed to test a binder under conditions as close as possible to the loading during crack formation. The evaluation of the test methods regarding standardization focused on the following criteria: (1) Ranking of the results of the different tests; (2) Similarity of the test to practical loading; and (3) Information about precision and repeatability.
