TRR. No. 1171 Asphalt Materials And Mixtures To examine the ability to measure the fundamental process parameters of the Marshall compaction operation, several mix specimens were compacted with a mechanical hammer instrumented with accelerometers. From the analysis of data obtained, it was concluded that technology for measuring the amount of energy delivered to the specimen during the compac…
The research results in this report concern the characterization of physical properties of asphalt binders and the development oh test procedures for aging and adhesion. Asphalt binders were shown to be liniear viscoelastic materials at expected pavement straints. Test methods and models describing rheological behaviour were developed with the assumption of linear behavior. A mathematical model…
