Abstract: Selected physical properties of asphalt cement are significantly changed by artificial aging under thin film oven test conditions. The changes in physical properties are also reflected in the molecular size distribution ...

Abstract: A procedure for defining the appropriate relative quantity for the large molecular size (LMS) fraction in asphalt was developed based on the correlation between chromatogram and selected physical properties. The physical ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental analysis of the relationship between the relative quantity of a particular‐size molecule in asphalt cement and the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete. Three AC‐20 grade asphalt ...

Abstract: The compaction conditions (e.g., compaction temperature and compaction level) of crumb rubber modified (CRM) asphalt mixtures should be determined carefully because the viscosity and amount of the CRM binder affects the ...

Abstract: The binder viscosity in a reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is usually measured from the recovered binder. To recover the aged binder from RAP, there must be a series of laboratory process which takes at least a day or two. ...
