Abstract

ABSTRACT The data generated from the Superpave shear tester (SST) frequency sweep at constant height (FSCH) test is available in terms of the complex shear modulus G* versus frequency at the temperature of measurement. An attempt is made to unify the sets of curves generated at different temperatures on various mixtures. The procedure involved the use of a normalizing frequency parameter. The temperature at which the normalizing parameter becomes equal to one is suggested as a specification parameter for assessing mixture performance. This specification parameter was determined for various mixtures of known performance and found to follow performance ranking in all the studied cases.
