SOLUTION ALL ANSWERS 100% CORRECT DETAILED BEST
GRADED A+ FOR SUCCESS
Morphology - CORRECT ANSWERS Implying the molecular structure of an asphalt
binder
oils - CORRECT ANSWERS A very fluid( low viscosity ) somtimes colorless fraction of
asphalt cement that is non-polar
Plastomers - CORRECT ANSWERS asphalt cement modifiers that are plastic-like.
typically solid at room temp and melt when added to asphalt cement at mixing temperatures.
Resins - CORRECT ANSWERS the largest fraction of an asphalt cement, when separated
dark in color highly viscous and polar
Short Crude - CORRECT ANSWERS Residue from a vacuum distillation
Compression - CORRECT ANSWERS implies compressing, pushing, or shortening. occurs
when load is applied parallel to the direction of displacement
Consistency - CORRECT ANSWERS the resistance of a material to deformation (strain)
caused by the application of force( stresses)
Creep Compliance (Pa^-1) - CORRECT ANSWERS Ration formed by dividing the strain at
a specified time by the corresponding stress. ( inverse of stiffness)
Fundamental Mechanical Property - CORRECT ANSWERS prperty that is defined in
terms of fundamental units(SI) and is independent of the dimensions of the test device or
tested specimen

Linear - CORRECT ANSWERS refers to a modulus or mechanical property when the
mechanical property is independent of load ( a constant ratio between stress and strain)
Mechanical Property - CORRECT ANSWERS A material property that provides the
relationship between load (stress) and displacement (strain)
Modulus (Pa) - CORRECT ANSWERS ratio formed by dividing stress by corresponding
strain
pavement performance - CORRECT ANSWERS refers to the serviceability of the
pavement from the perspective of the user
Radian - CORRECT ANSWERS used to describe test frequency. one complete loading
cycle is 2 pi radians
Shear - CORRECT ANSWERS implies a sliding action within a material. The load is
applied parallel to the direction of the resulting displacement
Stiffness (Pa) - CORRECT ANSWERS Ratio(BBR) formed by dividing the stress at a
specified time by the corresponding strain
Strain - CORRECT ANSWERS ration formed by dividing displacement caused by applied
load by the distance over which the displacement occurs ( has no "units")
Stress (Pa) - CORRECT ANSWERS Force (load) divided by the area; tension compression,
or shear
