ConclusionsConclusions
At low temperature, asphalt mixtures are complex viscoelastic composite materials that are significantly temperature and loading rate dependent
Testing temperatures should be established relative to expected low pavement temperature and relative to low temperature PG grade for location of interestThe effect of loading rate needs to be investigated to better match true field cooling rates
Mixture and binder test temperatures should be matched as much as possible to better understand the contribution of the binder to the fracture properties of mixtures
ConclusionsConclusionsAsphalt binder testing alone does not provide sufficient reliability to predict low temperature cracking of asphalt pavements
The effect of aggregate type appears to have a significant effect for mixtures made with the same asphalt binder
PG system provides a good starting point, however, further refinement of the current system.
Role of the BBR “m” value should be re-consideredPhysical hardening has a significant effect on measured binder properties
ConclusionsConclusionsThe current specifications for low temperature cracking for both asphalt binders and mixtures do not include a fracture test
Two simple mixture tests, the disk-shaped compact tension test and semi-circular bend test, were investigated and were successfully used The binder direct tension test protocol was modified to obtain binder characteristics needed for better ranking at low temperatureHowever, need an improved binder test, that gives the same type of information as the mixture test, i.e. provide post-peak behavior
ConclusionsConclusions
The current indirect tensile test provides useful information for the complete evaluation of low temperature behavior of asphalt mixtures, but is not the best choice for a simple screening test The current thermal stress restrained specimen test can become a useful research tool to analyze the stress development and fracture mechanism in asphalt mixtures at low temperatures if further refined
