One of the causes of damage to bitumen pavements in regions of the world with sub-zero temperatures is low-temperature cracking. To counter this phenomenon, asphalt mixtures (MMA) are being designed to resist the occurrence of such cracks. The choice of bitumen binder is crucial to the service life of a road pavement and its resistance to cracking. In this paper, the authors evaluated the influence of binder type on the low-temperature resistance of asphalt mixtures. Several modified bitumens, both medium and high-modified (HiMA), were used in the study. The basic parameters of the bitumens (softening point, penetration) as well as the group composition (SARA) were determined. The colloidal index was used as a criterion for the correct choice of binder. Low-temperature cracking resistance tests were also carried out on asphalt mixtures. The study was conducted using the TSRST method. The results showed that the use of modified bitumen improves the performance of MMA at low temperatures. It was also noted that the assessment of low-temperature cracking resistance using the colloidal index is not effective for modified bitumens; a different test methodology needs to be developed for their assessment.

Jedną z przyczyn uszkodzeń nawierzchni asfaltowych w regionach świata, gdzie występują ujemne temperatury, są spękania niskotemperaturowe. Aby przeciwdziałać temu zjawisku, projektowane są mieszanki mineralno-asfaltowe (MMA), które mają być odporne na występowanie takich pęknięć. Dobór lepiszcza asfaltowego ma kluczowe znaczenie dla żywotności nawierzchni drogowej i jej odporności na powstawanie spękań. Autorzy w artykule dokonali oceny wpływu rodzaju lepiszcza na odporność niskotemperaturową mieszanek mineralno-asfaltowych. W badaniu wykorzystano kilka asfaltów modyfikowanych, zarówno średnio-, jak i wysokomodyfikowanych (HiMA). Określono podstawowe parametry asfaltów (temperatura mięknienia, penetracja) oraz oznaczono skład grupowy (SARA). Jako kryterium prawidłowego doboru lepiszcza zastosowano wskaźnik koloidalny. Przeprowadzono również testy odporności na pękanie w niskiej temperaturze na mieszankach mineralno-asfaltowych. Badanie przeprowadzono za pomocą metody TSRST. Wyniki pokazały, że zastosowanie asfaltu modyfikowanego poprawia parametry MMA w niskich temperaturach. Zauważono również, że ocena odporności na pękanie w niskiej temperaturze za pomocą wskaźnika koloidalnego nie jest skuteczna w przypadku asfaltów modyfikowanych; do ich oceny konieczne jest opracowanie innej metodyki badawczej.
