Abstract

Asphalt is considered as a valuable construction material because of its strong, adhesive, and durable characteristics. Asphalt cement (AC) binder is a viscoelastic material with different behaviors under different climate conditions, traffic loadings, and speed. Dynamic modulus of asphalt mixtures E* is an important factor in pavement design. The determination of E* is either by direct testing, which is difficult and expensive, or by using correlations with simple tests. Most correlations depend on viscosity’s determination under different temperatures and loading rates (speed), which can be calculated using temperature susceptibility parameters A–VTS values. This study aims to determine a simple and appropriate method to calculate A–VTS parameters using simple tests. An experimental program has been conducted for testing different typical virgin and modified asphalt binders in Turkey. The results have been analyzed using mechanistic–empirical pavement design method (MEPDM) with an available analysis tool. A simple method for the determination of A–VTS has been recommended using penetration tests at temperatures of 4, 25, and 35 °C, and other significant findings were recorded.
