This report describes the results obtained during the second year of work (2015–16) into the development of a binder test that can rank the low temperature cracking performance of PMBs.
Studies conducted during the first year of work (2014–15)…
The Elastometer is the key testing instrument for PMB specifications in Australia. The Elastometer operating software and data acquisition system were developed in the 1980s, originally to run under DOS and later upgraded to Windows 3.1. This…
Polymer modified binders (PMBs) can provide improved service performance over normal bitumens in demanding situations. However, a number of field problems have been experienced with PMBs and some of these have been attributed to property changes…
