Abstract
The report presents the analysis of the results of investigations of the low temperature resistance of viscous air-blown bitumens used in the construction and repair of asphalt pavements in Kazakhstan. The non-conformity has been established between the test results by the Superpave method characterizing the low-temperature crack resistance and the actual appearance of such cracks in the pavements during the first service years. This non-conformity can indicate that the influencing factors, particularly the character of pavement cooling, are not taken into account properly. Typical cases of air temperature lowering based on the meteorological data as well as the change of tensile stresses in the asphalt concrete for these cases have been analyzed with applying the linear theory of viscoelasticity. It has been found that the time and temperature of the first crack appearance substantially depend not only on the minimum design temperature but also on the character of its attaining.
