Abstract:

In this thesis it was paid attention to behaviour asphalt mixture of low temperature. The theoretical part deals with the technologies for reducing of mixing temperature and with their comparison. The thesis is notionally divided into two parts. The practical part is focused on the assessment of low temperature features by the test of asphalt mixture resistance against the formation of frost cracks according to ČSN EN 12697-46. Three mixtures were tested. The aim was to find if the low-temperature characteristics get worse compared to the commonly tested mixtures of the same gradation.

Keywords:

Additives, mixing temperature, low-temperature characteristics, amide waxes, FTP paraffin, flow additives, zeolites, fatty acid amides.
