Notes a – Pavement temperatures are estimated from air temperatures using an algorithm contained in the LTPP Bind program, may be provided by the specifying agency, or by following the procedures as outlined in M323 and R35. b – This requirement may be waived at the discretion of the specifying agency if the supplier warrants that the asphalt binder can be adequately pumped and mixed at temperatures that meet all applicable safety standards. c – For quality control of unmodified asphalt binder production, measurement of the viscosity of the original asphalt binder may be used to supplement dynamic shear measurements of G/sinδ at test temperatures where the asphalt is a Newtonian fluid. d – G/sin? = high temperature stiffness and G* sinδ = intermediate temperature stiffness. e – The mass change shall be less than 1.00 percent for either a positive (mass gain) or a negative (mass loss) change. f – If the creep stiffness is below 300 MPa, the direct tension test is not required. If the creep stiffness is between 300 and 600 MPa, the direct tension failure strain requirement can be used in lieu of the creep stiffness requirement. The m-value requirement must be satisfied in both cases.

Main Applications Of Performance Grade PG 64-10 Bitumen

Performance Grade PG 64-10 Bitumen is designed to provide good performance in moderate climates, resisting rutting in hot weather and cracking in mild cold conditions. Various application are

Road Construction and Highways: Used for paving urban roads, highways, and rural roads where temperature variations are moderate. Provides resistance to rutting at high temperatures (up to 64°C) and flexibility to prevent cracking at low temperatures (down to -10°C).
Parking Lots and Driveways: Ideal for commercial parking areas and driveways due to its ability to handle moderate traffic and weather conditions.
Bridges and Flyovers: Applied in bridge decks and flyovers, offering stability against deformation under varying temperatures and moderate traffic loads.
Airports and Taxiways: Suitable for airport runways and taxiways where resistance to rutting is required, though not designed for extremely heavy loads or extreme climates.
Industrial Areas and Warehouses: Used in industrial zones and loading areas where there is occasional vehicle movement but not heavy loads.
Rehabilitation of Pavements: Applied in asphalt overlays for the maintenance and rehabilitation of older pavements, improving road performance and durability.
