Rationale

Identifying the change in an asphalt binder’s physical property, G*/sin delta, kPa, resulting from an asphalt additive may be useful to determine additive dosage range and when additional testing is needed for compliance. Additives, at the intended quantity, that alter an asphalt binder’s physical properties outside an acceptable range may negatively impact mix performance. This method was developed using a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR).
