Test Procedures for Advanced Characterization of Bituminous Binders Employed for Pavement Construction in Public Works Authority Road Projects - State of Qatar
Abstract
This paper illustrates the approach adopted by the Public Works Authority (Ashghal)
of the State of Qatar for the advanced chemical and rheological characterization of
bituminous binders (both neat and modified). The ultimate objective of testing is to
create a database of employed binders, which may be meaningful for the optimization of
the selection of materials and for the consequent enhancement of pavement performance.
This paper provides an illustration of employed testing procedure and briefly discusses
typical experimental results.
