TLDR
In this article, a performance-based selection system for bituminous binders for road applications is presented. But this method is not suitable for the road environment and it requires a large number of binders.Abstract:
Rheological characterisation methods are important when it comes to a performance-based selection system for bituminous binders for road applications. Standardised methods exist for the determinati...read more

Identification of ageing state clusters of reclaimed asphalt binders using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) based on chemo-rheological parameters
Alexandros Margaritis,Hilde Soenen,Erik Fransen,Georgios Pipintakos,Geert Jacobs,Johan Blom,Wim Van den bergh +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, chemical (SARA and FTIR ageing indexes) and rheological properties (master curve parameters, Glower-Rowe parameter and ΔΤc) of a large selection of Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) binders (19 samples) were determined to reveal their ageing level.

Influence of soft binder and rejuvenator on the mechanical and chemical properties of bituminous binders
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the use of a softer binder and a rejuvenator and found that the rejuvenator results in similar rheological behaviour compared to the application of a soft binder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rheological and chemical properties of field aged binders and their variation within the wearing course
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the field ageing based on recovered binders and 15 sections were considered, consisting of unmodified and polymer-modified binders (PmB).

Development and validation of performance prediction models and specifications for asphalt binders and paving mixes
TL;DR: The SHRP A-005 project developed detailed pavement performance models to support these binder and mixture specifications and performance-based mixture designs as mentioned in this paper, which can predict the amount of fatigue cracking, thermal cracking and rutting in asphalt concrete pavements.

New Low-Temperature Performance-Grading Method: Using 4-mm Parallel Plates on a Dynamic Shear Rheometer
TL;DR: In this article, an alternate mechanical test to the bending beam rheometer (BBR) was proposed to determine low-temperature PG using 4mm-diameter parallel plates on a dynamic shear rheometry (DSR) and includes a correction for machine compliance.

Small-diameter parallel plate rheometry: a simple technique for measuring rheological properties of glass-forming liquids in shear
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the special precautions that need to be taken to accommodate high sample stiffness and torsional instrument compliance in shear rheological experiments and show that the measurement errors due to the instrument compliance can be avoided by employing small-diameter parallel plate (SDPP) rheometry in combination of numerical instrument compliance corrections.
