The oxidation of asphalt is a major cause of pavement failure. At a given temperature and pressure, the asphalt oxidizes in two stages: (1) a rapid-rate period followed by (2) a long period with constant oxidation rate. The degree of oxidation that occurs in the constant-oxidation region is asphalt-dependent and varies with oxygen pressure and with temperature. Using pavement …
Asphalt Durability – Pavement Interactive
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 Grahthem, 1957 [1] and Finn, 1967 [2] as referenced by Roberts et al., 1996 [3]): Oxidation: The reaction of oxygen with the asphalt binder.
