A major study was undertaken to determine relationships between binder rheological properties and the rut resistance of asphalt mixes, as indicated by the laboratory wheel tracking test. Twelve binders, including three bitumens, a Multigrade binder…

The use of warm mix asphalt (WMA) appears to be increasing throughout the developed world in place of conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA). Acceptance depends upon confirmation of the environmental benefits and that on-road performance is at least…

This report documents the surface life prediction models that have evolved from the long term sampling of the bitumen in sprayed seals and thin asphalt surfaces. The estimation of surface life is predicated on the basis of the mechanism of bitumen…
