Notes a - Pavement temperatures are estimated from air temperatures using an algorithm contained in the LTPP Bind program, may be provided by the specifying agency, or by following the procedures as outlined in M323 and R35. b - This requirement may be waived at the discretion of the specifying agency if the supplier warrants that the asphalt binder can be adequately pumped and mixed at temperatures that meet all applicable safety standards. c - For quality control of unmodified asphalt binder production, measurement of the viscosity of the original asphalt binder may be used to supplement dynamic shear measurements of G/sinδ at test temperatures where the asphalt is a Newtonian fluid. d - G/sin? = high temperature stiffness and G* sinδ = intermediate temperature stiffness. e - The mass change shall be less than 1.00 percent for either a positive (mass gain) or a negative (mass loss) change. f - If the creep stiffness is below 300 MPa, the direct tension test is not required. If the creep stiffness is between 300 and 600 MPa, the direct tension failure strain requirement can be used in lieu of the creep stiffness requirement. The m-value requirement must be satisfied in both cases.

Main Applications Of Performance Grade PG 76-10 Bitumen

PG 76-10 Bitumen ability to withstand high temperatures and resist thermal cracking in cooler conditions makes it an excellent choice for various heavy-duty pavement applications, particularly in regions with extreme climate variations.

Highways and Major Roadways: Used for paving high-traffic highways and expressways, PG 76-10 offers exceptional resistance to rutting and deformation, ensuring durability under heavy loads and high temperatures.
Airport Runways and Taxiways: Applied in airport runways and taxiways, PG 76-10 provides the strength necessary to support the weight of aircraft while maintaining performance across varying weather conditions.
Bridges and Overpasses: Utilized in constructing bridge decks and flyovers, this binder prevents cracking and deformation caused by thermal stresses and heavy vehicle loads.
Industrial Areas and Heavy Traffic Routes: Ideal for industrial pavements and service roads, PG 76-10 ensures long-lasting performance and durability, effectively supporting high-load conditions.
Pavement Rehabilitation and Overlays: Commonly used in asphalt overlays for rehabilitating existing pavements, PG 76-10 enhances structural integrity and extends the lifespan of older road surfaces.
High-Stress Urban Areas: Effective in urban environments where pavements experience heavy traffic and thermal stresses, this binder reduces the likelihood of surface deformation and cracking.
Parking Lots and Commercial Areas: Employed in the construction of commercial parking lots and shopping centers, PG 76-10 provides a durable surface capable of handling regular vehicle use without significant deformation.
