3、E1.1. This practice provides a means of evaluating the elastic behavior of an asphalt binder by using theresults (percent recovery and non-recoverable creep compliance) from the Multiple Stress CreepRecovery (MSCR) test. The MSCR test is conducted using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)at a specifie

4、d temperature. It is primarily intended for use with residue from T 240 (Rolling Thin-Film Oven Test (RTFOT), but may also be run on residue from R 28 (Pressurized Aging Vessel(PAV).1.2. The elastic behavior of an asphalt binder can provide insight to the technologist indicating to whatextent, if an

This practice is used to evaluate the elastic response of an asphalt binder under shear creep andrecovery at a specified temperature. For most asphalt binde

13、rs, this temperature will be the hightemperature grade as determined only by environmental conditions (not as adjusted for trafficspeed or loading).4.2. Asphalt binder is first aged in accordance with T 240 (RTFOT). A sample of the RTFO-agedasphalt is tested in accordance with T 350 (MSCR). Unless o

14、therwise specified, the 25-mmparallel plate geometry is used with a 1-mm gap setting. The sample is tested in creep andrecovery at two stress levels. The stress levels used are 0.1 kPa and 3.2 kPa. The creep portion ofthe test lasts for one second which is followed by a nine-second recovery. Ten cre

15、ep and recoveryconditioning cycles are first conducted at a shear stress of 0.1 kPa. The test is then executed byconducting ten creep-recovery cycles at each shear stress level (0.1 and 3.2 kPa). Two parametersare derived from the MSCR test: the non-recoverable creep compliance (Jnr) and percent rec

16、overy(R).4.3. Using the Jnrand R values from testing conducted at 3.2 kPa shear stress (identified as Jnr-3.2 andR-3.2, respectively) data is compared to a curve of R as a function of Jnr. Values that plot on orabove the curve are considered to represent an asphalt binder with a significant elastic

As an alternative, the equation of the curve may be used and the R-3.2 value compared to the calculated minimum R-3.2 value determined using the measured Jnr-3.2 value. 2018 by the American Association of State Highway and Transpor

This practice is used to evaluate the elastic response of an asphalt binder under shear creep and recovery at a specified temperature in accordance with T 350. 6. APPA

19、RATUS 6.1. Use apparatus as specified in T 315, T 240, T 350, and R 28. 7. PROCEDURE 7.1. ConditioningUnless otherwise specified, condition the asphalt binder to be tested in accordance with T 240 (RTFOT). 7.2. Sample Preparation and TestingPrepare test specimens and test the specimens in accordance

20、 with T 350. For most asphalt binders, the test temperature will be the high temperature grade as determined only by environmental conditions (not as adjusted for traffic speed or loading) using the LTPPBind 3.1 software or the principles behind the temperature determination in LTPPBind. In the abse

21、nce of this information, use the temperature that corresponds to the high temperature grade of the standard unmodified grade of asphalt binder that would be used for the project location. 7.3. AnalysisAfter determining the Jnr-3.2 and R-3.2 values for the asphalt binder at the specified temperature,

22、 plot the data on Figure 1. Data that is plotted on or above the curve in Figure 1 is considered to have a significant elastic response for the associated value of non-recoverable creep compliance (indicating that the asphalt binder has been modified by an elastomeric polymer). Note: The curve stops

23、 at Jnr-3.2 = 2.00 kPa1and 0.1 kPa1. Jnr-3.2 values greater than 2.00 kPa1are not required to have any minimum R-3.2 value. Jnr-3.2 values less than 0.1 kPa1are required to have a minimum R-3.2 value of 55 percent. Figure 1Comparison of MSCR Jnr-3.2 and R-3.2 to Assess Elastic Response 0.00 0.50 1.0
