Research Objectives
• Primary Objective
– to develop and validate technology that can be
used by the Minnesota DOT (Mn/DOT) and other
highway agencies to determine the proper timing
of preventive maintenance in order to mitigate
damage caused by asphalt aging.
• Help highway agencies to define a pavement
preservation strategy which optimizes life-cycle cost
while maintaining safety and serviceability for the
driving public, with primary emphasis on countering the
deleterious effects of asphalt aging
Expected Deliverables
• Expected deliverables:
– Identification of an asphalt binder or mixture parameter
related to durability as a result of environmental aging that
can be determined from testing of pavement cores.
– Specification limits (Warning and Action limits) for the
durability parameter that indicate the need for preventive
maintenance.
– Guidelines for monitoring the durability parameter during
the life of an asphalt pavement.
– Economic evaluation of the cost effectiveness of applying
surface treatments at various times in the life of an asphalt
pavement.
– Final Report describing the results of the research.

Task 1
• Information Review
–
–
–
–
Review mechanisms for environmental aging
Review binder properties that are affected by aging
Review test methods used to evaluate binder properties
Review modes of pavement distress caused by aging and
surface treatments used to mitigate these distresses.
– Review pavement preservation techniques
• US and international
• Determine current best-practice with regard to the timing of
surface treatments
• Assess new technologies that could deserve accelerated
deployment
Task 2
• Selection of Pavement Test Sections
– MnROAD
• Determine which sections have received surface
treatments
• Determine what tests have already been
performed
• Determine what retained materials are available for
testing
– Other pavement test sections
Task 3
• Status Meeting
– After completion of Tasks 1 and 2
– Draft interim report
• Findings to date
Task 4
• Laboratory and Field Evaluation of
MnROAD and Other Test Sections
– Objective
• identify test methods that correctly rank distress
• determine critical binder or mixture failure limits
that might be used as objective triggers for the
various preservation strategies

the life of the pavement
– Appropriate remedial action can be taken as the critical
limit is approached

predictions from DC(t) or other more sophisticated
fracture tests.

Concept for Non-Load Related

• Options
– Use conventional construction data (e.g.
binder properties, density, etc.) with climatic
data together in an aging/cracking model to
project time to remediation
– Run mix test on cores at construction to get
cracking property and fit data within
aging/cracking model to project time to
remediation

cores at construction to get cracking property
and fit data within aging/cracking model to

get cracking property and continue to pull
cores from pavement at periodic intervals to
check progression of cracking property

Rheological Index
• SHRP Report A-369
– Rheological Index, R, is the difference
between the glassy modulus and the complex
shear modulus at the crossover frequency
(where tan δ = 1).
Rheological Index
• SHRP Report A-369
– “…[R] is directly proportional to the width of
the relaxation spectrum and indicates
rheologic type. R is not a measure of
temperature, but reflects the change in
modulus with frequency or leading time and
therefore is a measure of the shear rate
dependency of asphalt cement. R is asphalt
specific.”

DC(t)
• What is It?
– Fracture energy test for asphalt mixtures
• modeled after a fracture toughness test for metals
• Developed by researchers at the University of Illinois to
evaluate the cracking performance of field cores and
laboratory-compacted HMA samples.
• What Type of Specimen is Tested?
– Cylindrical specimen with a single-edge notch
– Usually 50-mm thick
– Can be lab-produced or field core
DC(t)
• How Does the Test Work?
– Specimen loaded on its side
– A gauge is placed at the notch and the
opening of the “crack mouth” is recorded as
the specimen is loaded in tension.
– The fracture energy is calculated using
specimen dimensions and the area under the
load-displacement curve.
– Generally valid at temperatures of ~10° C
(50° F) and lower.
DC(t)
• Why Use this Test?
– Fracture test
– Successfully used on several projects to
describe the cracking resistance of asphalt
concrete.
– Believed to discriminate between polymermodified asphalt mixtures more broadly than
the indirect tensile strength test
