RHEOLOGY OF ASPHALTS AND ITS RELATION TO BEHAVIOR OF PAVING MIXTURES

PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE ASSOCIATED WITH BINDER PROPERTIES CAN BE BEST CORRELATED WITH LABORATORY TESTS WHICH ARE NOT ONLY OF A FUNDAMENTAL NATURE, BUT DUPLICATE FILM THICKNESSES ENCOUNTERED IN THE PAVEMENT. THIS NECESSITY OF MATCHING GEOMETRY OF TESTING TO GEOMETRY OF END USE RESULTS FROM CHANGES IN VISCOELASTIC BEHAVIOR WITH FILM THICKNESS. THE SHELL PARALLEL PLATE MICROVISCOMETER OFFERS A SIMPLE LABORATORY MEANS FOR STUDYING THIN FILMS. /AUTHOR/
