Effect of Various Dynamic Shear Rheometer Testing Methods on the Measured Rheological Properties of Bitumen

Abstract

A 23 factorial design experiment was conducted to study the influence of pre-heating temperature (HT) for manufacturing sample, bonding temperature (BT) onto rheometer, and trimming state (Trim) of the sample on complex shear modulus (G*) and phase angle (δ) using a dynamic shear rheometer on unmodified bitumen of types 50/70, 70/100, and two 160/220 from various sources. In addition, the black diagram and 2S2P1D model were used to evaluate the viscoelastic properties of bitumens. Findings show that the G* is more sensitive to the changes than the δ. Additionally, it was found that the 8 mm parallel plate diameter had a higher sensitivity to the trimming state than the 25 mm. The tested factor HT generally did not have a... (More)

In addition, the black diagram and 2S2P1D model were used to evaluate the viscoelastic properties of bitumens. Findings show that the G* is more sensitive to the changes than the δ. Additionally, it was found that the 8 mm parallel plate diameter had a higher sensitivity to the trimming state than the 25 mm. The tested factor HT generally did not have a statistically significant impact on the results of the tested materials, except for 160/220_I. At practically all the temperatures tested for 50/70 and 160/220_II, the G* dropped by increasing the factor BT from a lower to a higher value. The Trim:BT interaction has the greatest impact on all materials and temperatures on G*, except for 160/220 at lower temperatures. However, in the case of δ, the Trim:BT interaction has the most significant effects for 70/100 and 160/220_II. The black diagrams show no discernible differences, which may be a result of the limited range of changes made to the variables.
