Bitumen curing in asphalt bases
Contrary to the effects of bitumen hardening in the surface course, a gradual hardening of the main structural layers of the pavement appears to be beneficial, and is described as ‘curing’. As with all hot mixed asphalts, the penetration of the bitumen in a base will harden by approximately 30% during the mixing and laying process,
Hardening of bitumen in asphalts during hot storage, transport and laying
Drum mixers, which produce large volumes of asphalts, require silo storage for the mixed material to account for peaks and troughs in demand. In such circumstances, mixtures are stored in hot silos, as well as in the delivery vehicle during transportation.
Hardening of bitumen during mixing with aggregate
This is described as ‘short term ageing’, a term that is also applied to hardening that occurs during laying. During the mixing process, it is estimated that all the aggregate and filler is coated with a thin film of bitumen, usually between 5 and 15 mm thick.
