Abstract
With the theory of absolute reaction rate or transition-state approach together with the boundary perturbation method we calculate the possible temperature-dependent viscosity of bitumen or asphalt binder via tuning of activation volume as well as activation energy for the first time under zero shear rates. Before we present our novel approach and numerical results we firstly verify our calculations with both ambient temperature and high temperature viscosity measurements for bitumen conducted previously. Our tuning activation volume of bitumen will be useful to the current needs of intelligent compaction and application of nanotechnology to easily handling or processing asphalt binder.
