Evaluation of Mixture Performance and Structural Capacity of Pavements Utilizing Shell Thiopave®, Phase II: Construction, Laboratory Evaluation and Full-Scale Testing of Thiopave® Test Sections – One Year Report

Abstract

This report presents the findings of a year of testing of Shell Thiopave®, a sulfur-modified warm-mix asphalt. The tests took place at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) Test Track from August 2009-August 2010. Results of performance tests and laboratory tests are discussed including: dynamic modulus testing, beam fatigue testing, asphalt pavement analyzer testing, falling weight deflectometer testing and backcalculation.
