SHRP MATERIALS REFERENCE LIBRARY: ASPHALT CEMENTS: A CONCISE DATA COMPILATION

This report presents a compilation of the chemical and physical properties of the asphalt cements contained in the Strategic Highway Research Program's (SHRP) Materials Reference Library (MRL). In this program, 48 asphalts were collected to provide a common set of materials for use in all the SHRP studies and a long-term library of materials for use by future researchers to validate and expand upon the findings of the SHRP research. The MRL consists of samples of aggregates and asphalt cements that were collected and stored under carefully controlled conditions.
