Abstract:

The comparison of rheological properties (complex shear modulus and phase angle and dynamic viscosity) of four paving bitumens and two polymer modified bitumens is performed in this diploma thesis. Furthermore, the empirical tests (needle penetration and softening point) were determined on these binders. Effect of asphalt binders aging was modeled using RTFOT test and modified RTFOT test (3 x RTFOT).

Keywords:

paving bitumen, polymer modified bitumen, ageing, needle penetration, softening point, rheology, DSR, shear modulus, face angle, dynamic viscosity, RTFOT
