POLYMER MODIFIED BITUMEN. LABORATORY EVALUATION, CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES AND FIELD EXPERIENCE ---PRE CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS 3RD IRF MIDDLE EAST REGIONAL MEETING. TOWARDS BETTER ROAD PERFORMANCE, RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA, 13-18 FEBRUARY 1988. 6 VOLUMES.

The abundance of asphalt compatible polymers now available makes it possible to improve almost every aspect of paving. It is crucial, however, that the various physical characteristics, construction constraints, and ultimate cost-benefits be understood. To this end, numerous standards for quality testing and specification are under development. Comparative polymer modified bitumen trials are currently being planned and executed in many states. Recently polymers have been used for dense-and open-graded hot mix, hot and cold recycling, hot applied and emulsion surface treatments, stress absorbing membranes, slurry seals, joint sealants, and patching materials. Increased durability, improved rutting resistance, better aggregate adhesion, improved temperature susceptibility, improved stiffness moduli, and better overall flexibility are the most beneficial characteristics of polymer modified bitumen.(a) for the covering abstract of the proceedings see IRRD 817883.
