HYPOTHESIS OF CORRELATION BETWEEN THE RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OF BITUMENS AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CORRESPONDING BITUMINOUS CONCRETES
The rheological behavior of a series of bitumens has been examined, and the sinusoidally varying stresses and strains of the corresponding bituminous mixes at various temperatures and frequencies have been studied in conditions of linear viscoelasticity. A correlation has been found to exist, in all the cases examined, between the pairs of straight lines in a Heukelom chart for two different bitumens and the pairs of curves which show the variation of the dynamic moduli of mixes containing them, in the range from 0 degrees to 40 degrees C at a frequency of 0.1 Hz. This correlation makes it possible to extract useful information on the practical conditions of temperature and traffic, starting from simple rehological measurements and using a references material of known characteristics.
