Evaluation of Low Temperature Performance of Asphalt Mixtures with an Analog Experiment

Abstract:

Abstract. To evaluate the low temperature performance of PR PLAST.S modified asphalt mixture, an analog experiment was adopted. It was found that it is not consistent between the evaluated results from TSRST and the content of PR PLAST.S can affect the low temperature performance of asphalt mixture. It also found that there is the optimal content to make asphalt mixture have the best low temperature performance.
