The level of performance of asphalt concrete has a close relationship with the properties of bitumen used. This research evaluates the rheological parameters of graphite modified bitumen. Index properties tests were conducted on bitumen and graphite to determine their suitability. Dynamic viscosity and dynamic shear rheometer were conducted on bituminous binder modified with four different proportion of graphite ranging from 2% to 10% by bitumen weight. Dynamic viscosity test was conducted on bitumen and graphite modified bitumen at temperature of 1350C and 1650C using Brookfield Viscometer. The rheological properties are centered on phase angle (δ) and complex shear modulus (G*) which were determined on bitumen and graphite modified bitumen at temperature ranging from 520C – 700C at 10 rad/s frequency using Dynamic Shear Rheometer in accordance with ASTM D7175-15. The storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G") and rutting parameters were then evaluated from phase angle and complex shear modulus. The bitumen and graphite modified bitumen showed that graphite modified bitumen has the highest complex shear modulus and rutting parameter of 8984 (kPa) and 33387 (kPa) at 10% graphite content. The results of viscosity helped to determine the mixing and compaction temperatures. Dynamic shear rheometer test results determined the elastic and viscous behaviour at various temperature. The higher the complex shear modulus and rutting parameter the stiffer the binder will resist deformation and rutting.

Tracking of traditional tack coat materials is a common concern during hot-mix asphalt overlay construction. This problem can be avoided by using trackless tacks, which are recently developed tack products that resist sticking to tires. Thus loss of tack materials from the paving surface is preventable. Various trackless tack products have been introduced to the market; however, there is still a lack of evaluation on their tracking resistance. The objective of this study was to measure the rheological and tack properties of trackless tack materials through the dynamic shear rheometer. Six trackless tacks and a traditional tack were evaluated. To identify rheological characteristics, the dynamic shear rheometer frequency sweep test was performed on the tack residues. Also, the modified dynamic shear rheometer tackiness test was conducted on both tack emulsions and residue at different temperatures. The emulsion samples were tested throughout the curing period. The tack samples were categorized into soft and stiff binder groups with respect to complex shear modulus obtained from the frequency sweep test. The tack energy was estimated to quantify the stickiness in the tackiness test. A significant difference in tack energy was observed between soft and stiff group binders. The stiffness of the investigated tack materials with respect to the complex shear modulus is well correlated with the tack material properties.

In order to study the performance of Sasobit warm mix asphalt and the influence of aging, complex shear modulus G* and phase angle δ of Sasobit warm mix asphalt are tested by Dynamic Shear Rheometer （DSR） at different aging phase, to analyze the effects of Sasobit to the performance and the aging of 70# and SBS asphalt. The results show that with the increasing of the dosage of Sasobit, the value of G*/sinδ can be increased at different aging phase, the change in the phase angle has the same trend; the degree of Long-term aging of warm-matrix asphalt is larger than modified asphalt's. This may be related to the interaction of Sasobit and modifier.

Propagating Shear

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a novel experimental technique for probing the dynamic shear modulus of soft biological tissue non-invasively and in vivo. MRE utilizes a standard MRI scanner to acquire images of propagating shear waves through a specimen that is subject to external harmonic mechanical actuation; commonly at frequencies in excess of 200Hz. At steady state, the wavelength of the propagating shear wave can be used to estimate the shear modulus of the tissue. Dynamic shear testing (DST) is also used to characterize soft biomaterials. Thin samples of the material are subject to oscillatory shear strains. Shear force is measured, and converted to shear stress — analysis of this data of a range of frequencies gives a complex shear modulus. The data analysis method assumes that the shear displacement is linear and shear strain is constant through the thickness of the sample. In soft tissues, very thin samples are typically used to avoid inertial effects at higher frequencies. As the thickness of the sample decreases, it is more difficult to cut samples of uniform thickness and to maintain structural integrity of the sample. Thus in practice, measurements of brain tissue properties using DST without inertial correction are limited to low frequencies. In this work, we bridge the frequency regimes of DST and MRE by testing thick samples using DST over a range of frequencies that generates a shear wave in the sample, with a corresponding peak in the measured shear force. The frequency and magnitude of this peak give additional information about the complex shear modulus of the material being tested, and these DST results are interpreted using a finite element (FE) model of the sample. Using this method, we can obtain an estimate of shear modulus in an intermediate frequency regime between that of standard DST and MRE.
