PROPERTIES AND BEHAVIOUR OF ROAD BITUMEN AT LOW TEMPERATURES

LABORATORY TESTS WERE CARRIED OUT TO DETERMINE THE STRESSES AND STRAINS IN BITUMEN AND ASPHALT AT LOW TEMPERATURES. TWO CRITERIA FOR THE LOW TEMPERATURE BEHAVIOUR WERE DERIVED: ULTIMATE STRAIN AND LIMIT TEMPERATURE FOR A CERTAIN RIGIDITY. IT IS SHOWN THAT THESE CRITERIA CAN BE CORRELATED WITH THE FRAASS BREAKING POINT AND A 10 DEGREE C PENETRATION FOR A GIVEN TYPE OF BITUMEN. /TRRL/
