FHWA Grant Program Helps Industry Improve Asphalt Testing

EZ Asphalt Technology, LLC of Athens, OH used $225,061 of FHWA Highways for LIFE grant funding to develop the Aphalt Binder Cracking Device (ABCD). Low-temperature cracking is a major casue of asphalt pavement failure. Resistance to thermal cracking is provided primarily by the asphalt binder that bonds with aggreagates to create hot-mix aspalt. The ABCD uses a simple, relieable method to pnpoint the temperature at which asphalt binders will crack, so it can help engineers select proper asphalt binders for paving projects based on climate.
