A laboratory evaluation of modified asphalt
Abstract
The structural properties of sand mixes incorporating Chem-Crete binder compare favorably with densegraded asphaltic concrete. This binder, processed according to a new refinery technique, is purported to improve asphalt properties such as strength, durability, temperature susceptibility and water resistance. These attributes and other properties of sand/Chem-Crete mixes are examined. Generally, upon curing, sand mixes utilizing Chem-Crete binder demonstrate properties equal to or superior to Louisiana's dense-graded Type 1 asphaltic concrete (1200-lb. stability).
