One of the main causes of road pavement distress are low temperatures, and hence the need to thoroughly study the low temperature performance of all bituminous materials used in road construction. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of alternative and conventional bituminous mixtures in the temperature range between -25°C and -10°C using for this purpose the Tensile Creep Test (TCT). The low-temperature performance data were evaluated using the Burgers model, a tool that is widely used for evaluation of bituminous mixtures. This research focuses on bridge paving mixtures. These included both conventional (mastic asphalt) and alternative (SMA-MA) materials. It was established, based on the test results and their analysis, that low temperature performance of a bituminous mixture is influenced, in the first place, by the characteristics of the asphalt binder it contains. Furthermore, SMA-MA mixtures showed better low temperature performance than conventional, mastic asphalt type mixtures.

Niska temperatura jest jedną z przyczyn powstawania uszkodzeń nawierzchni drogowych, zatem ocena parametrów niskotemperaturowych powinna być przedmiotem pogłębionych badań materiałów asfaltowych stosowanych w drogownictwie. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było określenie parametrów MMA w zakresie temperatur od -25°C do -10°C, z wykorzystaniem badania pełzania przy rozciąganiu (Tensile Creep Test - TCT). Do oceny parametrów niskotemperaturowych wykorzystano szeroko stosowany do oceny mieszanek mineralno-asfaltowych model Burgersa. Analizie poddano mieszanki stosowane na obiektach mostowych. Badania przeprowadzono zarówno na mieszankach klasycznych stosowanych na obiektach (asfalt lany) jak i alternatywnych mieszanek SMA-MA. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników i przeprowadzonych analiz stwierdzono, że na parametry niskotemperaturowe kluczowy wpływ mają parametry lepiszcza asfaltowego stosowanego w mieszance. Stwierdzono również, że mieszanki w typie SMA-MA cechują się lepszymi parametrami niskotemperaturowymi niż klasyczne mieszanki w typie asfalt lany.
