Aging of Bitumen Binders Bitumen, like any organic matter, is affected by factors like presence of oxygen, ultraviolet rays and changes in temperature. These factors are responsible for
What are the Types of VG Bitumen As per IS:73-2006 , bitumen is classified into four types based on viscosity, as given below. VG-10 VG-20 VG-30 VG-40 What
Advantages of Viscosity Grade Bitumen Viscosity grade bitumen is based on fundamental engineerin7g properties and not on empirical properties. It is a performance based grading system. Viscosity grading
Introduction Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the mass of a given volume of the bituminous material to the mass of an equal volume of water,
