This book was released on 2013 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current asphalt binder performance grading system requires the use of multiple pieces of testing equipment to determine high, intermediate and low temperature properties. To properly grade an asphalt binder, numerous hours of labor must be expended to run through all of the required aging and testing. Additionally when creating master curves to compare stiffness and phase angle with respect to frequency, multiple pieces of equipment are required. This not only creates inefficiencies with respect to time and money, but also brings an approximation into the data as opposed to a direct reading. In order to forensically evaluate asphalt binders, the asphalt must be extracted and recovered from roadway cores. During the extraction/ recovery process the amount of binder required results in coring a considerable amount of the road in question as well as running through an expensive and time consuming chemically intensive process to extract the bituminous material. This paper investigates the potential of the 4 mm Dynamic Shear Rheometer geometry and its potential applications in evaluating binder properties for all failure mechanisms without the need for additional equipment and reducing the amount of asphalt required.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As dynamic shear rheology (DSR) testing of asphalt binders is becoming the primary mode to evaluate asphalt binders worldwide, an understanding of the rheological performance of asphalt binders has become increasingly important. Such understanding of the basic principles of rheology is essential for those developing and applying specifications, as well as developers and producers of new and enhanced roofing binders. This paper discusses the determination of the complex shear (stiffness) modulus (G*) and phase angle (?) of bituminous binders over a range of temperatures and frequencies when tested in harmonic sinusoidal oscillatory shear mode using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) with parallel plate test geometry where both plates are controlled at the same temperature. Rheological measurements and master curves for six different binders used in the manufacture of industrial roofing materials are presented. The data presented are results of testing of unaged and oven-aged binders to include a standard air blown binder, a catalytically air blown binder, and various modified bitumen binders.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rheology involves the study and evaluation of the flow and permanent deformation of time-and temperature-dependent materials, such as bitumen, that are stressed through the application of a force. The fundamental rheological properties of bituminous materials including bitumen are normally measured using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), from low to high temperatures. DSR is a powerful tool to measure elastic, viscoelastic and viscous properties of binders over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies, provided the tests are conducted in the linear viscoelastic region. Therefore, the study of bitumen rheology is crucial since its reflects the overall performance of a flexible pavement. However, it is well known that the DSR also has limitations, where the measurements are exposed to compliance (testing) errors particularly at low temperatures and/or high frequencies. In addition, conducting laboratory tests are known to be laborious, time consuming and require skilled personnel. Therefore, this research is conducted to elucidate a better understanding of the rheological properties and modelling procedures of bitumens and bituminous binders. Various materials such as unmodified bitumens, polymer-modified bitumens (PMBs) and bitumen-filler mastics, unaged and aged samples, are used in this study. An extensive literature review was undertaken to identify reliable models that can be considered as a valuable alternative tool to describe or fit the rheological properties of bitumen. These properties are commonly presented in terms of complex modulus and phase angle master curves, together with the determination of shift factor values at a particular reference temperature. In general, the complex modulus and phase angle master curves can be modelled using different techniques; nomographs, mathematical equations and mechanical models. However, the nomographs have become obsolete in recent years and tended to be replaced by the two latter models. Those models are able to satisfactorily describe the rheological properties of unmodified bitumen. However, the observations suggest a lack of agreement between measured and predicted rheological properties for binders that contain a phase transition, such as found for highly crystalline bitumen, structured bitumen with high asphaltenes content and highly modified bitumen. An attempt was made to evaluate the validity of several mathematical equations and mechanical element approach using unaged and aged unmodified bitumens and PMBs database. It is observed that the Sigmoidal, Generalised Logistic Sigmoidal, Christensen and Anderson (CA), and Christensen, Anderson and Marasteanu (CAM) Models are able to satisfactorily describe the rheological properties of unmodified bitumens. Nevertheless, they suffer from the same drawbacks where the presence of highly EVA semi-crystalline and SBS elastomeric structures render breakdowns in the complex modulus master curves. Similar discrepancies are observed when one of the mechanical models (the 2S2P1D Model) is used. To construct the master curves, different shifting methods are available. It is found that a numerical shift produced the best fit between measured and modelled data, followed by the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussées (LCPC) approach, William, Landel and Ferry (WLF), Modified Kaelble, Viscosity Temperature Susceptibility (VTS), Arrhenius and Log-Linear methods. A temperature range from 10 to 75oC is used in this study. It is worth mentioning that most of the methods are empirical and might not be applicable for all materials. Finally, the phase angle master curves must also not be neglected to yield a complete rheological properties of binders. The statistical analysis between measured and modelled data shows that the Fractional Model yielded the best correlation for a temperature range from10 to 75oC, followed by the Al-Qadi and Co-workers, CAM, CA and Kramers-Kronig relationships. An anomaly is observed between measured and descriptive data of the Kramers-Kronig relationship particularly at high frequencies and/or low temperatures. The Fractional Model is not considered suitable for practical purposes due to the high number of coefficients that need to be solved.

Download or read book Research of Bituminous MortarFatigue Test Method Based on Dynamic Shear Rheometer written by L. T. Mo and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a new test method that allows fatigue characterization on bituminous mortar by means of dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). The studied mortar is composed of bitumen, filler and fine sand at a mass ratio of 0.34:0.30:0.36. Dynamic shear rheometer instruments are widely used for bitumen testing by using parallel plate geometry. However, the parallel plate geometry is not suitable for mortar testing due to the fact that the mortar contains fine sand. To take good advantage of DSR instruments, mortar specimen and clamp system were specially designed so that mortar testing can be performed by using DSR instruments under parallel plate control mode. Due to the complex specimen geometry, finite element simulations were performed to translate the torque and deformation that the specimen was subjected into the real mortar stress and strain. An intensive experimental program indicated that the developed test method was capable to capture the shear fatigue behaviour of mortar at meso-scale by using DSR instruments.
