Using oil shale ash waste as a modifier for asphalt binders by Ghuzlan, Khalid

“…The complex shear modulus (G*) and phase angle (δ) of asphalt binders were investigated using the Superpave Dynamic Shear Rheometer and the rotational viscosity (RV). It was found that increasing the OSA/A percentage increased the G* value and the RV of asphalt binders, and improved the Superpave rutting parameter, but did not affect significantly the phase angle. …”
