CARACTERISATION DES MATERIAUX ROUTIERS

Abstract

Bitumen is hydrocarbon binder or binder black hydrocarbon based. Its pasty consistency temperature and its ability to become liquid when heated between 120ºC and 170ºC allows it to mix the hot aggregates and after cooling to a solid mixture: what makes its interest in road building. Our research focused on the behavior of these materials and their usage characteristics. Tests were conducted outside of our university; the results are obtained and discussed.
