Mix And Binder Design

Due to the chemical complexities of asphalt, specifications have been developed around physical property tests. These physical property tests provide information regarding the physical properties of the asphalt at specified temperatures. Such tests are vital in establishing the suitability of an asphalt binder for a specific application. Prior to laying the asphalt rubber on the ground, it is standard for a number of laboratory procedures to be followed in order to ensure that both the asphalt binder and the pavement will perform as desired.

Both binder design and mix design yield vital information regarding the composition of the asphalt pavement. The binder design establishes the properties of the asphalt binder, while the mix design of the asphalt rubber pavement involves the production of sample asphalt specimens to identify the optimum concentration of asphalt/modified asphalt to be used in the pavement.

ECOPATH provides engineering services for:

  • Designing modified asphalts from locally available raw materials to fulfill different climate / state DOT / country specifications
  • Engineering problem solving (e.g. modifier-asphalt incompatibility issues)
  • Economic analysis of modified asphalt feasibility.
