PROPERTIES OF HIGHWAY ASPHALTS - PART 3 INFLUENCE OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

THE BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS UNDERTOOK CHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND LABORATORY ABRASION TESTS ON SPECIAL GRADE ASPHALTS /BITUMEN/, AND THE RELATIVE CEMENTING QUALITY OF ASPHALTS OVER VARYING TEMPERATURE RANGES. ASPHALTS WERE GRADED IN TERMS OF VISCOSITY AND PENETRATION AND A LINEAR MATHEMATICAL RELATION HAS BEEN DERIVED BY WHICH ABRASION RESISTANCE CAN BE ESTIMATED FROM THE COMPOSITION PARAMETER AND THE VISCOSITY OF THE ASPHALT. /RRL/ REFERENCES' PROPERTIES OF HIGHWAY ASPHALTS - PART I, 85-100 PENETRATION GRADE, J.Y.
