  • Abstract:
    Currently, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) requires ductility tests at 25°C according to ; AASHTO T51 for emulsions, force ductility ratio at 4°C, and elastic recovery at 10°C according to AASHTO T300 and AASHTO ; T301, respectively, for polymer modifi ed emulsions. The fact that polymer-modifi ed asphalt is strain dependent creates questions ; regarding purchase specifi cations based on constant strain controlled tests. In developing performance grade (PG) specifi cations for ; emulsions, one of the tests proposed in several reports is the multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) test according to ASTM D7405. ; This test determines percent elastic recovery and non-recoverable creep compliance and measures the damage behavior in the ; linear and nonlinear range. Compared with the current binder protocol, a repeated creep test protocol (or some other method that ; varies the frequency and strain and measures the accumulated permanent strain of the binder) represents an improvement in the ; theoretical and practical concepts that will better rate the binder properties related to performance.
