Determination of the degree of behaviour of domestic bitumens based on meteorological data of a test plot in Sopron
Abstract
In addition to traffic load, road structures are also exposed to climatic effects during their operation. Recognizing the importance of this, a new paving bitumen grading system was developed and integrated into the American Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) in the U.S. in the last decade of the last century. After learning about the American results,
Hungary established a laboratory suitable for testing according to the SHRP binder standard already in 1995, and started the SHRP compliance testing of paving bitumens.
However, this innovative process has been interrupted, and currently the classification of paving bitumens in Hungary is typically based on conventional testing procedures.
The key parameter of the behaviour-based binder standard is the recording of the performance grades (PG X-Y). Although this took place in the 1990s after the processing
of the Hungarian climatic data, it needs to be updated now.
The research described here presents the results of a methodology where, using the temperature data of the selected Sopron test cell, not only current climate conditions but also those predicted for the future are taken into account.
