Abstract:

To minimize premature failures, the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) proposed binder tests that can identify poorly performing binders. To meet new performance grade specifications, a modifier is typically added to the binder. Occasionally, state highway agencies specify a particular modifier type and modifier content to be included in the binder. However, the specified asphalt binder or tests do not necessarily identify the presence of modifiers. Therefore, the focus of the research was to identify a suitable binder test that can detect the presence of modifier and rutting and cracking potential of hot mix asphalt concrete. In addition, the purpose of the study was to identify whether a particular modifier is better in comparison to the other available modifiers or if they provide similar performance.
