Author Description

"TRB Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2370 consists of 18 papers that explore blending-zone morphology; simplification of the linear amplitude sweep test and specification parameters; rejuvenator's effectiveness with conventional mix testing; warm rubberized asphalt cement; recycled asphalt shingle binder characterization and blending with virgin binders; surface performance-graded specification for chip seal binders; viscoelastic analysis of bituminous mortar; low-temperature oxidation kinetics of asphalt binders; and recovery and laboratory testing of asphalt emulsion residues. This issue of the TRR also examines the evolution of the crossover modulus with oxidative aging; critical problems with using the asphalt ductility test; crumb rubber modifier dissolution into the asphalt matrix; low-temperature properties of asphalt binders and mixtures; crumb rubber modifier dissolution; binder aging in hot-mix asphalt mixtures; anti-strip agents in asphalt mixtures; the five-point bending test; and shear resistance of improved steel-asphalt interfaces."--Pub. desc.
