Bitumen Substance Analysis

Abstract:

This contribution deals with the composition of the bitumen substance of bitumen waterproofing sheets used in bridge decks in the Slovak Republic. This contribution examines the samples of waterproofing sheets from various manufacturers in terms of the bitumen areal weight and the quantity of fillers in the bitumen substance. This contribution also answers the hypothesis of whether the quantity of bitumen is increased or decreased and the filler affects the basic thermal technical properties of bitumen waterproofing sheets, such as its flexibility at low temperatures and its heat resistance.
