Description: This report describes a study of asphalts by High Performance Gel Permeation Chromatography (HP-GPC). The asphalts were obtained from pavements in 15 states. Performance of the pavements with respect to cracking (especially transverse cracking) was compared with the HP-GPC data. General trends were found in this study.
Notes: In cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration and the Montana Dept. of Highways.
