The phenomenon of physical hardening and an assessment of its influence on the properties of asphalt materials is presented based on a review and critical assessment of available literature on this topic. Background information is presented on this reversible physical property known as physical aging in non-asphalt materials such as polymers ...

Physical Hardening in Asphalt Mixtures. This paper documents and discusses the physical hardening phenomenon in asphalt mixtures and the implications for pavement performance. Physical hardening can broadly be defined as the gradual stiffening of a material during isothermal storage at low temperatures brought about by changes in structure (wax ...

Jan 01, 1999 The process is reversible: when the asphalt binder is heated to room temperature or above, the effect of physical hardening is completely removed. Physical hardening for amorphous materials is generally reported as occurring below the glass transition temperature (T g), but this is not the case for asphalt binders, in which physical hardening ...

Asphalt Durability. Asphalt durability is a measure of how asphalt binder physical properties change with age (sometimes called age hardening). In general, as an asphalt binder ages, its viscosity increases and it becomes more stiff and brittle. Age hardening is a result of a number of factors, the principal ones being (Vallerga, Monismith and ...

Jan 01, 1999 A study was conducted to determine if low-temperature physical hardening, which has been reported to be exhibited by asphalt binders, also affects hot-mix asphalt. Two asphalt binders, Designation AAM-1 and AAM-2 of the Strategic Highway Research Program, which are known to show the effects of physical hardening, were used to prepare asphalt ...

Physical hardening has been reported in amorphous polymers and plastics under the name of physical aging [1]. This phenomenon takes place as a consequence of cooling of amorphous materials from melt temperatures to below the glass transition temperature (Tg).

Asphalt is a dark brown to black, highly viscous, hydrocarbon produced from petroleum distillation residue. This distillation can occur naturally, resulting in asphalt lakes, or occur in a petroleum refinery using crude oil. In 2020, the U.S. produced about 21 million tons of asphalt ( US EIA ). Roads and highways constitute the largest single ...

In asphalt pavements, oxidative age hardening contributes significantly to pavement embrittlement, eventually resulting in excessive pavement cracking. In asphalt roofing materials, embrittlement from oxidative hardening can promote the loss of protective granules, substrate shrinkage, and cracking.

Aging of asphalt binders is one of the main causes of its hardening, which negatively affects the cracking and fatigue resistance of asphalt binders. Understanding asphalt aging is crucial to improve the durability of asphalt pavements. In this regard, this study aims at understanding and differentiating the effect of temperature and oxygen uptake on the aging mechanisms of unmodified asphalt ...
