Mastering bitumen for better roads and innovative applications

102 notes

During the four coming weeks, best experts in bitumen will bring you their knowledge and experience to build a strong understanding of today’s realities and new perspectives on the future of bitumen. Total is the European leader on bitumen markets. Innovation has always been the key to sustainability and durability in the products they develop. Their main objective here is to share technical knowledge and experience to insure bitumen are being used in the most effective and efficient ways for their different applications in road works. Ecole des Ponts, France oldest engineering school, remains very much in the present, as it has always been, in training engineers in order to meet the needs of our society and citizens in key areas such as transport housing and urban services, but also in fields like energy, environment, climate sciences, land-use planning and sustainable development. Nineteen world recognized experts on bitumen are contributing to this MOOC. The idea is to provide the broadest prism on this topic area with speakers coming from research, industry and end users.

Dear participants, hello.

It's a pleasure to meet you again for this new technical session.

In this video, I will be assisted by a new expert.

>> Hello, I'm happy to join this MOOC on Bitumen.

I'm Sophie Limborg, the Chairperson of the CEN/TC 336

European Technical Community dealing with the open standards on Bitumen.

In the previous session, the penetration test and

the tests were introduced to you by Lawrence.

In this new session we will explore two other test methods.

The viscosity test and the Fraass brittlle point test.

Indeed, Bitumen's stiffness versus temperature is determined thanks to

different standardized test methods.

These test methods are able to characterize Bitumen at different

temperature.

That is for the typical rendering of service temperatures in roads.

For instance, stiffness at intermediate service temperature,

is characterized by penetration.

Elevated surface temperature is characterized by [INAUDIBLE] and

[INAUDIBLE] determination.

Fraass brittle point enables to characterize

the susceptibility under low service temperature.

>> The Bitumen is bind with viscosity can be measured by different tests.

In this video I will focus on the determination of dynamic viscosity

by vacuum capillary and on the kinematic viscosity.

The dynamic viscosity by vacuum capillary is a standardized test.

In Europe the standard reference is EN 12596.

This standard specify a method for the determination of

the dynamic viscosity of bitumenous binders by means of

a vacuum capillary viscosimeter generally at 60 degrees Celsius and

in a range of between 0.0036 Pascal seconds and

580,000 Pascal seconds.

The test consists in data mining the time for a fixed volume of the liquid

to be drawn up through a capillary tube by means of a vacuum and temperature.

The viscosity is calculated by multiplying the flow time in seconds

by the viscosimeter calibration factor.

The dynamic viscosity at 60 degrees Celsius characterize the consistency

of the bitumen at high temperature of service when rooting appears.

The kinematic viscosity is another standardized test to measure

the bitumen's viscosity.

In Europe the standard reference is EN 12595.

This European standard specifies a method for

the determination of the kinematic viscosity,

a bituminous binder at 60 degrees Celsius and

135 degrees in a range from 6 millimeters square per

second to 300,000 millimeters square per second.

The test consists in measuring the time for fixed volume of the liquid to be

flowed through the capillary of the calibrated glass capillary viscosimeter

and accurately reproducible work static load and

at a closely controlled temperature.

The kinematic viscosity is calculated by multiplying the flux time

in seconds by the viscosimeter calibration factor.

The kinematic viscosity at 135 degrees Celsius

gives information about the probability of the bitumen at high temperature.

This is a key parameter when mixing bitumen with aggregates in

the asphalt plant.

>> The determination of the Fraass breaking point is a standardized test.

In Europe the standard reference is EN 12593.

The European standard specifies the methods for

determining the brittleness of bituminous binders at low temperatures.

A test consists in applying a sample of

bitumen's binder on a metal plate at an even thickness.

The plate is stipulated to constant cooling rate and

flex repeatability and the other binder layers break.

The temperature, at which the first crack appears,

is reported as the Fraass breaking point, the clear and

frank crack should be obtained when performing the test.

Attention should be paid to the sample preparation,

to the cleanliness of the coating test plates.

And when gripping the prepared plate between the clips.

Those parameters are key factors for

performing the test under accurate and repeatable conditions.

For the pure bitumens the softer the bitumen the higher the penetration,

the lower the Fraass breaking point.

In conclusion, viscosity determined under different temperatures and

Fraass brittle point are parameters which enable to specify bitumen under different

temperature condition respectively, high and low service temperatures.

The dynamic viscosity at 60 degrees centigrade, characterize the consistency

of the bitumen at high temperature of service when rutting appears.

The kinematic viscosity at 135 degrees gives

information about the pumpability of the bitumen at high temperature.

These are among the property which enable to characterize Bitumen and

the different conditions of use.

These tests are determined with fresh binder that is not aged binder.

In the forthcoming video, you will be presented the aging conditions of Bitumen.

Both on short term and long term aging and its characterization.

Thank you for your attention.
