The objective of this project was to determine how the durability of paving asphalts can be improved. Sixteen chemical additives from two different manufacturers were evaluated as antioxidants for 85-100 penetration paving asphalts. The following conclusions are drawn from the data given in this report: (1) Chemical compounds are available which se

The objective of this project was to establish specifications to assure use of superior asphalts by the Texas Highway Department. Viscosities of 25 asphalts of 85-100 and 120-150 penetration used by the Texas Highway Department were determined at temperatures from 51 to 325°F. Measurements were made by the microfilm (sliding plate), Saybolt-Furol (
